Visiting NIU for Valentine's Day

I finally made it to NIU.
Yesterday was a little chaotic.
I really wish there was a train directly to Dekalb.
It's too bad there isn't.
I visited people I knew. It was nice to see them.
I found out there is new guide dog user on campus. He was supposed to be my neighbor in Neptune West.
Apparently he was asking for me and called my friend Alicia Sarah by accident.. Well, he asked her if she was me.
I don't mind and I don't think she does either. I am very curious to meet this kid.
I'm sitting here waiting for Sarah to return. I might venture out to Cole Hall and see if I can catch people I know.
I have to pay my respects as well.
After a year, I don't know how to fel about Valentine's Day.
My parents think I'm crazy for leaving Adam home to spend Valentine's Day alone.
They also accused me of possibly cheating on him.
It's not that at all... I just feel like I have to be here at NIU. I know I'm no longer a student at the university. But I was there when all this mess happened last year.
I also want to visit my friend Sharon who is 7 months pregnant.
I bet when I go outside, people will be everywhere... 
I will do my best to ignore news people. 
The media swarmed last year. I'm sure they are swarming this year too.... 
Well see what happens....

Valentine's Day

The bell tolled until 3:12 PM.
A mass clutter of people surrounded the bridges and Cole Hall.
There was the sound of silence.
Sarah and I trudged through the slush along with everyone else.
It was still deadly quiet.
Of course, this is expected - It has been exactly ONE year.
I am planning on attending the candlelight virgil at 6 PM.
My lighter is ready.
I get to spend the night alone.
Alicia has been kind enough to let me stay in her room while she is gone.
I will probably end up giving her the key tomorrow morning or early afternoon.
I am so thankful.
It was awkward spending the night with Sarah.
I'm so used to sleeping alone in a room. Well, sleeping alone with Jim.
I forgot to mention in my last post about my cousin.
I got to meet him yesterday.
He is very quiet and seems to chuckle at me a lot.
I think I make him nervous. To be honest, he kind of makes me feel nervous too.
Oh well, I think I might chill in the room while I'm here.
