i hate how hot weather leaves my skin sticky at the end of the day. that aside, today was such a gorgeous day. well this past whole week has been beautiful, but today i layed down on the grass underneath the shade of a tree beside the dininghall. i haven't relaxed on the cool grass in so long. probably not at all the whole time i've been here actually. this whole day has just been so relaxing. all i did was sit around, eat at the dininghall, do some laundry, and print a few photos. i can't say i didn't enjoy it. i usually hate days where i have nothing to do, but this past week has been so busy that i really appreciated a quiet day.
i have so much to do for my classes and i've got my photo final due on wednesday. i really need to get that out of the way, so that i can concentrate on reading and catching up more. i tend to put everything aside and focus on photography since i enjoy it the most out of my three courses.
so josh& marina visited me from wednesday to saturday. i had such a fun time. i would have been miserable without them this week. i bought some weed and i think i got ripped off, but oh well. we bought a pipe we named lucy, but unfortunately lost it less than a day later. RIP lucy wherever you are; i'm sure someone else is putting you to good use. so we went back to glassroots and bought rosco. it took us all day to name him, but we finally settled on rosco when an owner called back his bulldog ("rosco") that was following us to saturn cafe.
but anyway, we did a bunch of shit... photo field trip to san francisco MoMA, late night picnic, boardwalk, mall, porter caves, blah blah lotsa good times. i wish they could've stayed longer, but marina had to work today and they start summer school tomorrow, so no can do.
honestly, i'm a bit sad that the school year is coming to an end. i wouldn't have expected myself to say so since i haven't really found my place in santa cruz, but i can't help but like staying at college. i enjoy seeing all the people from different backgrounds even though i may not befriend them. i enjoy the campus nature and wacky small town atmosphere. going back to san diego memorial day weekend made me realize how much i didn't want to be there anymore. at least, not with the people i was surrounded with. i don't want to spend my free time at someone's house watching everyone get stoned and drunk off their asses watching family guy or something. that's so boring. that's all i did my senior year and last summer. i wanted to kill myself. and i thought that when i visited, it would change or at least i would change and talk to people more, but neither happened. and i'm not blaming anyone but myself because i don't have to stay if i don't want to. i want to be out and about and meeting new faces. so there are some changes that will have to be made when i'm down there. hopefully, i'll make some new friends at my job in seaport village. i still love the friends i do have in san diego though. i love them lots.
we love santa cruz diner's mermaids.
