Long-overdue update on life
-It was unexpectedly hot here right up until this past week, and the first bit of cold, gray raininess is (so far) lovely. It makes showers and curling up in bed with blankets and big steamy bowls of oatmeal so luxurious and indulgent. I think I got my last little bit of lying in the sun in yesterday; hopefully it'll last me awhile.
-Life in the Future is good. I cannot even describe how much different living a mile from school in a beautiful house with five other fantastic (if eclectic) people is from living in a tiny, anonymous dorm room and being surrounded constantly by the college. Doing my own food shopping and cooking all the time (sometimes with the housemates) is wonderful.
-I've been mostly succeeding at not working too much, making time for dancing and parties and exercise and reading and sometimes just being silly. At the same time, though, trying to immerse myself in math, become fluent in it (no wonder at Reed it fulfills the language requirement), and push away doubts about being smart enough.
-I took up running over the summer, and it has made me quite proficient at spitting. Also, the endorphins are great and it's kind of amazing how it allows me to sit still and focus on work.
-I've done a lot of growing up recently. I now eat tomatoes and kill ants with my bare fingertips. And more serious stuff too, I swear.
