broke a glass

It is amazing when they say 'he broke the ice'; I mean no one literally breaks the ice. Well I literally broke a glass today. It has been a few distressing days. Had it not been for the awful cold, I would be on my flight to Swiss in three days. People around me have stopped being normal. The ones that were always abnormal still are. I have so many people who talk to me; my friends; but I still feel out of the scheme of things. Does that happen to people? Or is it only a passing phase which will get over as I get on with the four years that I have in college? I again say to people who should: Go break the ice.. you are not literally breaking it.
