i've got the patience right now to do this.
clearly, my peers and i have made it to another one of those awkward transition-y moments: two weeks before graduation and everyone's strung out for their own respective yet similar reasons. i had a sentimental/emotional week last week and there have been academic issues and stressors of course, but right now i'm in a kind of bleary-eyed passivity. i'm like david copperfield [hey thanks, dickens overload] observing all these events happening to me. granted, none of them are compiled into such shitty magnitude as is the case with poor davey, but i feel almost powerless to control the surge that is propelling me towards my inevitable future. that makes it sound like my future looks unpleasant when i truly mean a lot of it just looks inevitable. planned. figured out for the next chunk.
i'm really excited for allegra's farm party this weekend. for the record, allegra was my freshman year roommate and my love has grown for her ever since. one thing does not change: the fact that she throws an ass-kickin' farm party. it's about 5 miles down the road into the sticks and there's bonfires, cows, tree forts and BEER. it just may be time to don my cowboy hat from nashville. man, i haven't even posted pictures from nashville.
this weekend also marks the anniversary of my return home from ireland last year. i was home a lot earlier than most study-abroaders... for the simple fact that meggie ran outta dough. THAT part of my life hasn't changed much.
i'm really glad i ate a colossal roll (a.k.a cinnabon st olaf style) before ballet.
