Late Night Thoughts

Currently, I'm in the process of reading a book for English which I'm really enjoying. Part of it takes place in Japan and shows not only the good parts of living in Japan but also the bad parts. This made me think about how no one really goes to a place to experience the bad and even being a person who enjoys culture, I would still only want to see the good of the places I will visit.

From here I began to think about my trip to Ontario/Quebec and how I enjoyed Montreal a lot because of how different it was. The buildings were unique and the split between old and new Montreal's architecture was fascinating. I remembered being sad that people spoke both English and French so well because I wanted to challenge my French abilities but never got the chance. 

I then thought of Toronto and how fascinated I was by the thought of taking a train everywhere. I imaged myself as a student in Toronto taking a crowded train to school. The train would stop suddenly and I would almost fall into the cute student reading a textbook less than an inch away from me. Part of me would sort of hope that I did fall so I would have an excuse to talk to him and have a TV show like romance with the boy I met on the train. Then in the future, I would be a hardworking business woman on the way to my job in which I would kick ass and change the world. But in actuality, I'm just a high school student in a small town.

I began to think of my own life and the future I wish to come true in a year. How I want to take the bus every day to my university classes, sit around in their beautiful library, and try to work up the courage to talk to the incredibly cute guy in my program. I don't know why I like the idea of public transport so much lately. I've never even been on a bus by myself before. I guess to me it's a lot more interesting than driving a car. I know a car is faster but you miss out on all the weird and wonderful people you could see on the bus. I think public transport is more interesting and meaningful than a boring, lonely car drive. Not many people would agree with me though, it's all about convenience, not experience. For the past six years, I've just been getting through my days. I want to start enjoying them. I know I put too much hope on university but it's my dream right now so I'd like to enjoy it to my fullest. By enjoy it, I don't mean go to University parties, get drunk at clubs, or hook up with every cute boy I see. I've never been interested in that type of enjoyment. Although I enjoy dancing, I'm not a party girl and I'm way too monogamous for hook ups. I just want to observe people and live in my little university town, enjoying whatever turns life gives me. 

Well I should get back to my book, my reading section is due tomorrow and it's already 1:41 am.
