it's been sunny today, finally! well it's actually a little overcast, but it's close enough because it's warm enough to wear a skirt and tanktop around the town. I went running and saw an old man wearing dress pants and a button up shirt and sneakers, running, in the other direction down the street. i've been obsessed with the thought of being old, how it will feel to look in the mirror and see myself as this lady with white hair and paper skin.

i've been extenisvely happy now that i dont have school. the freedom and flip flops and nights sitting on a giant rock and baking. ahhh,,,

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured
with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,

Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
