just a flickering screen of scenery
before heading to class today I saw an eyelash on my cheek as I headed out the door. I haven't had an eyelash to wish on since the summer. I've never wanted something to come true more than I did hours ago when I blew it off my finger.
fall is beauuutiful here. I thought it would make me sad, seeing the days getting shorter and the weather changing so drastically, like it usually does somehow. I really underestimate how much i love summer in mn. But it just reminds me of home... and in a good way. Not the usual way which just makes me miss every familiar thing I had a year ago.
Walking back to east quad today, I remembered a random fall afternoon when school got out, driving through my neighborhood before practice, parking in my driveway. I just felt compelled to sit on the hood of my car. I can't get that image out of my head... I feel like I'm there again, and I can hear the wind blowing the leaves to the ground and smell the air.
I miss swim practice, just everything about it.
when I went home last weekend, I packed on Saturday night so I wouldn't feel so anxious, loading everything into my luggage the second before the drive to the airport on Sunday. I ran outside to grab my umbrella from my car, because well oxford's walmart sucks and I've been through 2 broken ones already... I could see my breath. I couldn't make myself go back inside. The air was cold and the stars were huge, and I wouldn't see that sky for another 2 months. and by then, there'd be snow on the ground... snow that had fallen when I wasn't there. NOT FAIR.
Swinging in excelsior with nick that friday night, I will never forget the way the sky looked. It's the kind you'd never ever want to be captured through a photo lens because it's just that breathtaking, you have to be there, to see it & feel it. The deepest blue I've ever seen, with clouds hanging out in mysteriously whispy, random patches... the moon was orange and low to the horizon. rather harry potter-ish.
I didn't even want to blink.
bahgghh. I don't know what to do.
