summer has come to a fast, sudden end
as we pulled in front of my house looking over the last few signs we stole as a way to squeeze in our last bit of fun as midnight came closer and closer, that end seemed even more real
no more staying up, and as a result sleepng in
no more indulging myself in a pile of books
no more driving around endlessly, bc well..we could
i even listened to summertime by mae today over and over again, thinking about how what seems not too long ago emily posted the lyrics in celebration of a then just beginning summer.
but as i see the freedom summer once brought start to slip away, it still hasnt completely sunk in that this was our last night
in fact, it probably wont really hit me until i find myself waking up at 530 on wednesday morning
im not exactly excited to go back to school, but at the same time, im ready
im ready to get back into a routine, hopefully not the one i ended with in june, full of apathy and regret, but one with a fresh, clean slate that will only encourage me to make the best of this
i feel like i just made some sort of new years resolution, but i guess thats just what this is. a new year.
