are you my five years?
a break after a week long of time well spent.
a weekend of tennis and ice cream and board games and so so much laughter.
a phone call. i was okay, maybe upset at first then fine. but felt my eyes fill up after the words "i'm sorry about..."
the thing i try not to think about, but now and then a reminder something that takes me back and make me sad to know, it, just like the other is no longer there.
how much has changed.
and we are all still changing
but i'm happy.
and i'm excited and scared to finally go out into the real world. one that has been very real for me already, even before i came here and finally got to just sit back.
it really is nice just being a student.
and we are making sure to take advantage of it.
everyone will go off, somwhere different. nini and guillermo will make a quick stop in portugal before heading to brazil. allie will be in new york. thu will still be here. and me, well we'll see where i end up. i'm hoping DC, but otherwise, LA will be fine.
i got the last of my midterms today. and surprised i was. very very surprised. considering that i missed half the lectures and read about two articles (out of the 20?) a B+ was rather lovely.
it seems the more i'm gone the better i do. im doing well and its just for fun, not even for that letter grade.
without even trying. am i really that lucky?!
and so i can look back and remember
POLITICAL SCIENCE 123A: The Politics of Inequality (B+)
ANTHROPOLOGY 158: Anthropology of Religion (A)
ENGLISH 133B: African American Narrative since 1917 (A-)
I finished reading Beloved tonight and it just left me with more questions. But if felt good finally finish reading a book that had been assigned to me once already before. That sat there in my bookshelf with some underlining on a couple pages and I had no clue of how much it would get to me, make me think, make me sad.
they are playing the shining at the theatre on shattuck so we plan on going to see it. then we'll make a quick trip back home. im excited to see jay and penny and sophia and my mom.
and also do some laundry without the hassle of getting quarters and feeling like it isnt the same clean like when i use the ones back home.
i plan on telling my mom this weekend.
we need one mom on our side, and i'm really counting on mine.
