The Life and Times of S

So I went swimming today after a long time. Even though I had no one to keep me company, it was a lot of fun. While at university, I used to go swimming all the time. I remember those Wednesday and Friday afternoons after Intermediate Accounting. I couldn't wait to go for a swim right after. And I couldn't wait for the Monday night wave pool swims after Information Systems. And despite the fact, that I always went by myself, it was always, always a ton of fun.

But I think what I liked best about today was the fact that I was back at school. I didn't realise how much I miss that place. I remember waiting for the train in the -45 degree weather after Tuesday night class for Accounting Theory. Or waiting for Dad to pick me up from Dunton Tower during his lunch hour. I hated it all. The assignments. The exams. The studying late into the night at the Loeb Building. The smell of frozen lunches at the Uni Centre. The line-up to use the machines at the gym. The parking at Brewer Park. And then walking all the way to Southam Hall. Everything.

But no matter how much I complained at the time, I realize now that I actually loved every minute of it. And I miss it terribly.

I will miss not being a student.
I will miss being carefree.
