My second part of the day came a lot easier.
Got a message off a girl in my course checking to see how I was. So I thought I might as well turn up and set my sleeping pattern straight. On my walk to campus the air was fresh with a milkshake pink and bubblegum blue sky behind dark green pine trees and I saw an old friend from first year. I went to the wrong lecture room but guessed the right one second time around and got there on time. Success!

The lecturer mentioned the benefits of positive reinforcement and why it was a better motivator than stress. He also explained that apparently people need food, water, and an environment. It probably was a more worthwhile reminder than it should have been as I'd recently tried to enter a 4th dimension during an irregular eating/sleeping cycle.
I bumped into my house-mate on the way out and walked back with him. We had a discussion on staring and smiling at strangers as they went past on the street - he left me to go shopping and told me to smile at all the girls going home - what is the worst that can happen?
I decided to do it for a laugh, partly in the hope that something horrific would happen that I could tell him. Perhaps an unintended rapey smirk that ended up scaring someone into a bus. But I ended up having a cool conversation with a girl from my school back home that I hadn't seen in 2 years.
We parted ways and I waited at the lights, watching all of the socially anxious people cross prematurely and almost get run-over, inevitably causing more road rage and uncertainty.
Oh, silly people, I used to be just like you...
