Thunder's coming

Sometimes I'm in awe of how much people actually pay attention to what I say.

I just received an e-mail from one of the people in college relations. He remembered that in one of our conversations (mostly just chit-chat type things) I mentioned that I'd be gone next week. Silly job training. Was wondering if I would be missing Commencement rehearsal, which is apparently where graduates pick up free tickets for the post-ceremony picnic. He could just put mine in my mailbox.

I replied that I should be back in time (getting in late the night before) but I'd call in mild panic if that fell through. 2 minutes later I get a reply telling me not to panic, but just call if necessary.

I'm really impressed that he figured out that I might not be here and followed through. And the reply was just fun.

I think the thunder part of the storm's over, but the rain's still here. Wonder what part of my own whirlwind I'm in....

It's amazing how much I keep discovering about this place. Like how I've got a new favorite study spot. Not that I'll use it for more than the week before college ends, but it's nice for now.

So I'm sitting here, working on those final assignments. Staring out the window (it's got a great view, especially for people watching). I wonder how much people are aware they're in public.

I mean, you're sitting outside in the middle of campus. Under a tree with a friend. If no one's walking by on the sidewalk it's easy to feel alone. But really, I'm up here looking at you. Wondering what you're talking about. If there's any romance going on. And how is it that you're not getting too cold?
