Earlier tonight when I walked out the front door to go to my friend’s house, I immediately felt like I had walked into some invisible, though almost tangible wall. I stopped, confused, trying to decide what it was that was so strange about the night. That’s when I realized that it was completely silent outside. There was no wind, no traffic, no voices, human or animal. It was the clearest and quietest night I’ve ever experienced in the Omaha city limits. I just stood there for a few minutes, looking around, listening for any sign of life or movement. I knew it must be cold, but I didn’t even really feel a chill the entire time I was standing there.
That was one of the most interesting parts of my day (sad as that may seem). The rest consisted of digging through my stuff and figuring out what I want to take to Ames when I go back to school on Thursday. I can’t wait to move back up, I’ve been here a little too long for my liking. Not that I don’t love my family and my home, but I’m ready to have my own space again, see all my friends and continue my degree.
Tomorrow I get to take my car to the shop to get the right blinker fixed, and hopefully find a mini fridge. Exciting.
Guess that’s it.
