Sunny New York

I had a major panic attack today over my financial aid package. It's not yet resolved but I've taken all possible steps and can only wait in the meantime.

I thought everything was over, my schooling, my future because of this one small bump, but then, I took a deep breath in and took a long walk to the post office. The weather was hot, the city was is smelly, and the streets were littered with dead rats and trash. My description makes it seem horrible but it wasn't so bad. It was the freedom of being able to roam alone and peek at people, so vibrant and different, out of the corners of my eyes that made all the difference and calmed my nerves.

Plus the post office was really empty for once and there was no line.
