It is always constant.
The crying babies.
The silence.
The vomit from the night before.
I roll in sluggishly.
and wait.
Then I am off again.
I am trampled on.
I am slow.
I am, A Train.

It is the first week of uni. The first time being back after a glorious 3 months of holidays. I don't remember the last time I was around this many people. A constant, slow, trickling of students, in and out of buildings. It's quite a sight.
To think that all these people have their own important, rich lives, like I do. And yet, they are mere figures that fill the landscape. Majority of which I will never speak to or interact with.
Coffee drinkers, coffee holders, coffee spills (me last semester). Nothing new.
Over priced, small portioned meals. Nothing new.
Boring and pointless week 1 lectures. Nothing new.
Short-lived motivation for the semester. Nothing new.
But, there are wonderfully new air-conditioned buildings, more open spaces to sit in, and new and exciting conversations to be had.
