On the commute back from work, the trains are split into the ones going towards the city, and going towards the airport. Generally I like dividing my train ride in two; get on the airport-bound train and get off half way through, so I have two small wait periods instead of one big one.

There are many "big" events where almost everyone seemed to know where they were, what they were doing, and who they were with. It might be because my memory is not as great as it could be, but I don't remember many of these moments. I could maybe remember 3. One of which doesn't count as it's a situation that's only big to me ( Read more... )

I miss discipline, both seeing it in other people, and in myself.

I miss the ask not why when told to jump, but rather how high mentality.

I also miss skinny me, but that's a whole new topic.
