Wrapping Up






I've only got one week left of freshman year of college. It's currently 8:08 AM (a palindrome! neat!) over here in the exotic East, and by that I mean coast, and when I start to talk like this you should be able to tell that I'm not completely in my right mind. I'm still awake! That's right, never went to sleep. Been writing a lit paper/fucking around all night long. Anyway, I left the bowels of the beast (basement floor of the library--every single table above ground was full) about half an hour ago, and it was so bright outside, and I am so hopped up on caffeine, that I began reflecting on my year. Surprisingly, I'd say this year has been the best so far. Anyway, here are a few photos, à la Tiff Tran.

The first is on the plane flying over here in September. I think it's over Las Vegas. The second is my neat pretty desk in the fall, when I'd resolved to change my ways and stay real tidy. The next one was taken of my desk this morning. (On it you may notice: goat brie cheese, three bottles of wine, my Sacred Harp book, Amélie, and lots of junk). Then there's me with two buddies from school, Molly and Kayla (I'm in the middle). And then one also from this morning outside my dorm at my usual smoking spot. I'm quitting. Soonish. Right now I'm listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo and falling asleep at my computer, though. This has got to be the some of the best lullaby music ever.

Time sure flies when you're ridiculously stressed/overwhelmed by wonderful new people and places! Good morning/good night world.

Snail Mail Evidence


Finally got around to writing a thank you note to Darcy. And I developed this new concept along the way of solids and outlines! 

And I changed our little banner up there to include our latest Rocketeer!

chugga chugga

Wow. Just, wow. To join the ranks of the illustrious bottle rocketeers is quite the honor! I can't wait to finish these exams and come home. And see Tiffanie. I feel like leaving a bit prematurely and floating across the country by balloon, because I'd probably arrive around the same time as I would if I flew next Friday as planned. I've always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. Do you think we could do that some day, Tiff?
