FMD. Old mate (US based) is visiting again & trying to organise us to do what he wants—put on our rose coloured glasses & dance down his memory lanes. His latest idea. A *school* visit at noon, pub at 7. Won't that be jolly... 🤦 No. I rejoiced when I left school. "but it's where you met all your mates" ...who I stopped seeing within a couple of years... We still generally get on, but aren't close—some have gone full boomer (or always were & I didn't notice).

But this is the same person who has told me, "That's it? It's over? You quit school?", SOOO many times!!!!!!! So, whatever. I'm going to have a good week. I'm already off to a great start. I'm approaching Rochester soon. My mother asked for my hotel name "in case something would happen to me." I'm not going to talk to her about my trip when I get back, and she's going to instantly going to assume that my trip was so awful despite all the positive reports that she'll be getting from my best friend. I don't know if I said this, but being told, "You WANTED to take the train!", is useless. Planes also smell and people are also difficult for me to tolerate on planes.

That's like how I was told, "You didn't WANT to be on campus!", when I was suffering feeling stuck in my apartment. No, that it NOT relevant. My mother said that it was. One, being on campus was not enjoyable for me at all. Two, what schools were there that were appropriate for me after NJIT didn't work out? Stevens Institute of Technlogy is horribly expensive, AND it was going to feel prissy to me...so it would've been WORSE than NJIT was for me. My mother already told me that I "would've hated Farleigh Dickinson" just a few towns over. So I'm doing something about "being stuck in my apartment" by going on this trip. I'm not the one who's "never happy with anything."
