Try to distract yourself? Iono. I like being early but not nearly that early. I’m not a worrier in general, despicably easy-going. D: And yes, have a boozy lunch with me. The booziest, tbh.
I used to be the most laid-back person ever according to everyone, though I suspect that was just appearences because inside I am bricking it ALL THE DAMN TIME.
I guess towards the end of high school I did adopt a "School is stupid and I don't care anymore and I'm gonna doss off and get drunk in my free periods LOLOLOL" attitude but I clawed back my paranoia for uni apparently... (though didn't drop the drunkeness ahahaha. There's always time for that...). I will probably die young and terrified.

Oh, sweet mercy, you ARE me. I have to make lists and check things off and check the time and the tickets and the numbers and the gates/platforms/etc., otherwise I feel like I’m going to fall apart.
I just remember the last time I had about 6 mins to switch trains but the screens on the platforms only told you the final destination of each train so if you didn't KNOW that you had to go all the way to the screens in the lobby to find out. Naturally if you are just trying to switch trains then having to run to the station entrance and THEN back to your platform is kind of ridiculous...
But there's nothing wrong with forward planning. Trying to make potentially stressful journeys as smooth as possible only makes sense, really.
That said, I'm fairly sure the ticket I've got for monday is one that allows me to take a different route to the one stated on the ticket, on the off-chance I miss my trains (which is doubtful because there's quite a big time gap to change this time so I'm not gonna be running around unfamiliar stations trying to figure out where the fuck I'm going).
