As the daylight fades into darkness, mild breezes drift in through my window. The lovely, balmy air carries me strains of "Tequila" and unidentified sambas, buoyed by the hysterical laughter of young people already drunk and satisfied. People all around my neighbor-hood are going for walks, taking their dogs out, playing corn-hole, playing beer-pong; it's like all of a sudden the world is ALIVE again and everywhere you look there are people. The trees are very green and all the flowers are very fragrant; it is beautiful. The twilight is slowly turning blue and twinkly little lights are turning on everywhere.

Anjali and Ashley just went to run a few errands and pick up Eric. I am starting to feel irrationally excited about the prospect of going out tonight. Although I got almost NO homework done today due to unforeseen circumstances early, I really do want to enjoy myself tonight, to dress up just because it's fun to be sexy and boogy to really bad samba. I'm not going to think about homework or waking up early tomorrow; I'm just going to be happy. I am going to drink deeply of the summer I taste on the cool night air.

I don't plan on consuming lots of alcohol, but I could certainly use a bit now. It would be a lie to say I don't look forward to playing Flip-cup or something with my housemates. More importantly, I just want to get out... no more computer work. No more stress.

Gotta try and get at least a LITTLE bit down before they come and it's time to take a shower and get ready, though, so ciao.

I just wanted to share my joy and gratitude for being able to feel like there's nowhere else I'd really rather be.

nature, oakland, thanks
