First day of classes tomorrow. Because of the way my travel schedule worked out, I missed registration, so now I get to play phone and email-tag with my advisor of studies to get this all worked out. Great start to the year.

I told myself all summer that when I came back, things would be different. That I'd try harder, that I'd take things in stride, that I'd try to reach out more to the people around me and that I'd try to have some fun. I don't want to fall back into my old habits. I don't want to isolate myself anymore but I'm doing it already. I can feel myself shutting down even though I promised myself I'd fight it. The trouble is, I have no idea how.

This is my final year of university. After this, it's all done. I want it to be a year I can remember, not a year I spend counting down to my freedom. I just have no clue where to start.
