22 Aug.

The first day of school was okay, I guess, though I've learned that the first couple weeks of the new semester is nothing but formalities, getting to know people in class and the professor and things of that nature. I wish we could use the first day to start learning something for once. These first day introductions are always such a drag, but what can you do?

It's when I'm out of the classroom and wandering the university and its town when I feel rejuvenated. Feel in perfect form. I look to Vale, and I realize, for the first time, how much I really enjoy life. Here, I feel so relaxed and free, I can't even begin to describe it. Vale has everything I could ever want: connection, a collective community, genuine trust and friendliness among themselves, and most of all, Vale had a certain kind of love I could only dream of in Atlas. And you can feel it walking down its streets.

It's simply breathtaking.

Walking around made me want to visit The Rose Café. I haven't been here since that one time, but I couldn't stop thinking about the Rose Petal Iced Latte. It's a Rose Café specialty, having a hint of strawberries and vanilla mixed in. Really one of a kind. Something you can only get here. Maybe the café menu was built around the Rose Petal Iced Latte? I found this little concoction when Ruby made it for me. Thinking back on it, when she asked me to stay back then, I have to admit, it was nice knowing someone here in Vale was as interested in me as she seemed to be.

Not interested in that way!

Ruby's probably still in class since she's not in the café. That or she's off today.

I may as well go home…

-.-.-

I finished with some of the assignments listed on the syllabus I got today. It's become a habit of mine to always be prepared and ready. I never let myself fall behind in classes, even back in Atlas. Then again, Atlas was not the place to goof around. If you fell behind, you were out. I've lost many friends that way…

It's close to 9pm. You think The Rose Café is still open? Even if it was, was I willing to walk over there?

I could be really tired; Today felt long.

Tomorrow, I'll get another Iced Latte. Hopefully, Ruby will be there to make it. She made it better than the person that made mine today.
