It was nice talking to Abby tonight. We talked for a long while after everyone left, and it was just nice to be able to get everything out. I needed an impartial person to talk to, and since I've never really had that with Abby before, it was good. I feel like we've bonded. Yay!
When I got back around 2ish, I talked to Kat for a few minutes then I went outside to lay in the grass and watch the moon and the stars. It was a Full Hunter's Moon tonight and it was awesome. I just sat there, thinking and watching the sky in the very wet, dewy grass. A couple of guys walked by on their way to Marsh/Austin, and stopped and asking if I was all right. I don't think that they'll ever know it, but they restored my faith in the human race a little bit. And my faith is not high right now at all.
When I decided that the grass was getting too wet, I decided to go for a walk. I've decided that I love walks, but I don't like to go on them alone unless it's late at night. If it's before midnight, I feel like I need to have another person with me. But seeing as it was after 2:00, I felt that it was okay. On my walk, I decided that the three most beautiful places on campus are the clump of trees where those statues are, the fountain across from Waterman, and the garden behind the president's house. Except I didn't see the last one tonight, I saw it yesterday at the reception I went to. I would have LOVED to go there tonight, though. It is a truly gorgeous place, and sitting there for a while would have been awesome.
I had a lot of random thoughts in my head as I walked along. Not anything profound or anything, simply thoughts that buzzed in and out of my head. It was kinda nice not to be freaking out about anything like that. Kind of calming, really. I wish I could go for more late-night walks like that, but I know that if I did, I wouldn't be able to even fight the perpetual sleepiness that comes from being in class in the morning.
Also, there was this girl in a trenchcoat that I kept seeing all over the place. She wasn't freaky or anything, she was just there. I first saw her when I was coming off the patio between Billings and Ira Allen. I quickly walked to get ahead of her, so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable with someone walking behind her. I know I hate that, so I didn't want her to feel like that. I turned to go to Waterman, and wandered around the green for a while, then when I finally came back up the hill, she was just barely walking the the corner and crossing the street. I don't know HOW she took that long walking down there, but she did and I am amazed. She kept walking straight after that, and I turned up the road to head back to Millis. However, when I passed the tunner, she was there, heading toward Redstone. How she moves from place to place so quickly/slowly amazes me, but I want to find her so that she can teach me how to do it. So if anyone sees Trenchcoat Girl, let me know.
I think that is all for now. I just thought that everyone would like to know that I have found a bit of calm following my emotional breakdown earlier. I'm going to read for a while now, since I am not very far from the end of my book. Who knows? Maybe I'll feel like another walk afterwards if I don't fall asleep. Good night to all.
