Morning

From Monday to Wednesday i go to film collage, (For now it's bugging me so it doesn't get a post just yet). The nearest train station is about 10 minutes away and so mum and i go together in the mornings. She starts a little earlier than me so i go over the other side of the station and make my little nest outside a coffee shop with an overpriced apple juice to keep me going. Sometimes i crochet or read or do work but most of the time i don't get much of this done because the world around me is the most fascinating.

Every type of person seems to gather at sutherland in the mornings, school kids, older ladies in their gym t-shirts, the dry-cleaning man (who mum has somehow managed to make me get to know very well), uni students, but the biggest number are business people.

You can always tell apart from everyone else, they look late, constantly, but they aren't. they are just driven. The men wear backpacks and the woman wear their bags close to their bodies. Depending on age they have earphones which are surprisingly loud. Sometimes they run, not all that often, but they are a good indication a train is leaving. They wear their comfortable shoes with their fancy ones in their bag, much more efficient for the running that way. Tclothes, all in different range of fashionability.

I dont know what it is but they fascinate me. I think its the independence, not that im sure they are all able to look after themselves, but they have a mission and are working to make it happen, alone. I guess its a sign of maturity, entertaining yourself and managing time efficiently. I find my morning commute very peaceful, train for 40 minutes, walk then bus for 10 more. Business people always have a book or music or their phone or emails, im never sure how relaxed they really are.

Although this all sounds tiring, and im sure by the end of the day they want to torture their backpacks and burn their suits, im excited to join their world soon.

A year from now i will have joined their ranks, grabbing full time employment by the horns, giving them a what for! (not really, i'll be the coffee girl).

It'll be a challenge but worth it.
