I was really getting good, posting everyday, and now I've just fallen out of synch. It's been Thanksgiving; I'm all off schedule. I had a fairly classic Thanksgiving: family, turkey, somnolence (my word of the week;).
Today I had a rather eye-opening experience. It made me realize just how sheltered I am, which was rather upsetting. I like to think of myself as very "city," if I may use that as an adjective. I pride myself on being open-minded, and accepting, and I like to consider myself very aware of the world around me. However, today I needed to go to a library in another community to get a book I needed, and, well, I stuck out like a sore thumb. The library happened to be in one of the poorest, most run-down, crime-ridden neighborhoods in my area. I felt unsafe (rightly so), but I also felt totally out of place and uncomfortable. It scares me that I'm going to be in the real world soon, probably struggling to barely make it as some sort of actor-waitress combination, and I still can't deal with that kind of thing. I really ought to grow up already.
