What's normal?

First day of school after the long Xmas+NY holiday, seems everything is back to normal! But normal means I nearly lost my stupid DC again? Oh yah, that's real NORMAL for teh careless me!

The pic above is the district where my college located, and this street is like 10 mins walking from school. These three & a half year we witnessed the changes in the neighborhood... more and more skyscrapers in this old community! Normal?
