Hindsight's 20/20. It sucks, you never see the barefaced truth until you take a step back and look at the bigger picture. That was always my problem. That damn bigger picture. Guess I'm myopic in a sense. I'm always too close to the picture, picking at the arduous details. And over-analyzing? Ha, my face is next to the definition in good ol' Webster. Maybe it wasn't necessarily a bad thing, except when it kept me up all night, or got me fired, or got me into three fender benders. 'Fuck' Unfortunately my mind doesn't have an off switch, but that's why I put pen to paper, because when my mind gets to rambling, my hand gets to noting, documenting, and decoding all my babbled feelings and ideas.
I couldn't sleep. Tomorrow was much too huge for sleep. I found myself sitting and wondering how things were going to go at school. I think it was about 4am when sleep finally took a hold of me. I had to be at the school by 10am and it was 2 hours away. I was going to be looking into housing on campus, and talking to the representative for the college. I woke up to a familiar ring tone. My best friend calling me to tell me she would be at my house in a few minutes. I ran around getting ready. This was so exciting, going to college, making something of myself. I was just finishing getting ready when my best friend walked in. She never used the doorbell, I never used it at her house either.
"Hey Spence you ready to go?" Sarah called from the other room.
"Yeah babe one second I'm brushing my teeth." I called with my toothbrush already in my mouth.
"Alright! I'm going to scrounge around your kitchen for some food and drink for the drive." She said with a chuckle.
I smirked and rolled my eyes, typical.
I finished brushing my teeth and we headed out, just the two of us and the open road. This was so exciting. Yet back to being totally scary. In that very instant Sarah pulled a pickle out of the cooler. You have got to be kidding.
"SARAH WHAT THE FUCK?!" I screamed, backing myself as far against the passenger door as I could. I thought about bailing out of the car. We were going 70 mph. I reconsidered.
"It's all you had in your fridge?" She questioned. I knew she was lying.
"Why do you torture me?!" I said frantic, and watching the pickle in her hand intently. She placed in back in the cooler and raised her hand in apology. I sat still uneasy, worried the pickle would jump out of the cooler. Yes, it's that serious.
The ride was fun after the pickle incident was over. I loved spending time with Sarah because it didn't happen often. When we got there I was immediately lost. This place was huge, and I was scared. I mentally added large buildings to my list of scariest things. Along with possibly ejecting myself from a car going 70 mph. The realization washed over me, in a few short months this was going to be my future. Funny how exciting and scary life can be. At the very same time no less. I took a deep breath and walked into the school. My life was about to change forever, I just had no idea.
