My first time stepping inside Anoka Ramsey Community College was a bit surreal. Everything looks like some design module for 70s architecture, and reminded me of my High School, except even uglier.
I was attempting to sign up for classes, and getting the run around from office to office, person to person. I was sweaty and nervous, and feeling flushed, unaccustomed to the exertion of running from place to place. The school was bursting with people, everyone getting their books and trying to figure out the same things I was trying to figure out.
I liked the faces I saw in the crowd. Many people looked as lost as me, which was heartening, as no one likes to be the only one feeling like a fool.
I remember stepping outside and seeing a lake behind the building, and really liking that. I imagined myself taking a break after class, getting some fresh air, and collecting my thoughts. Once I imagined myself there I realized that I could IMAGINE myself there, and I knew everything was going to be all right.

I miss the lake in the back of campus, it was so pretty back there! I really like your story because visualization is such an important part of relaxation, it really helps you calm down.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you were pretty nervous. Understand able though! Being outside help my calms my nerves too!

ReplyDeleteMistakes:
• Should be Anoka-Ramsey Community College
• High school shouldn't be capitalized unless you use the entire proper name, ie. Blaine High School.
