I had a pretty rough start on this week. After some digging I realized I had started falling behind on classes and studying. It felt like a fog was circling around me, not exactly choking, though it did stress me out. I decided to go for a walk down a familiar road to clear my head, down 67th Avenue to relax a bit and lose myself in the neighborhood. I was stricken by the amount of time that had passed since I last walked down this way, I saw changes that must have taken place over the past eight months, but seemed like just days to me. The sidewalk was no longer split on the side by a patch of grass, rather it was filled in with cement. My middle school seemed different somehow; I couldn’t put my finger on it but there seemed to be new life breathed into it. On the way across the boulevard, I was reminded of the Barnes and Nobles store, and how it was replaced with the mega-mart that is Target. It saddened me a little to have seen the small store be run out and instead replaced with a Target, but I guess that’s how business works, out with the old and in with the new. I went home after a while of being burdened by boredom, deciding I had had a nice trip and was ready to start catching up.
