historically, the idea of being paired off in class for random projects has been a horrifying experience for me. i consider myself quite sufficient on my own. however, tonight i was caught off guard completely since last week's warning in class ("next week, you will introduce someone else in class.") was totally absent from my memory. lucky for me i'm quick to forgive the past and forget my preconceived fears. and then there was enid, fellow music-phile (yes, this will be the 2nd or 3rd time i've said/thought/written that word in the past 3 hours) and sunday aimee mann concert attendee. fate couldn't have been nicer! sadly, introductions were limited to roughly 20 seconds a piece. we learned more in 10 minutes about each other than i know about starbucks' caramel macchiato, and i've been drinking those for years!

i am not afraid of school. it's really good to be back. good enough that even i am surprised. since when has education given me an emotional high?
