(no subject)
I love reading. I finished The Weather Makers and read One More Day at the beach house... and now I've started Suicide of the West. I like it already. It's kind of sad that I haven't read a book cover to cover (other than the 2 I invested in over spring break) in years and years.
I love learning. I have taken up reading non-fiction and playing geography games on the computer so I can actually figure out where countries are. I wikipedia things that I don't understand immediately, look way too much in the scrabble dictionary, and read or watch the news. Next steps? More books, more maps, maybe a foreign language... I'm in one of those inspired moods.
I love the outside. I miss taking walks by the lagoon to the beach after dinner. I miss seeing the ocean from campus. I like laying in my backyard, going on drives without directions or destinations, and following 'trails' that don't exist yet. I like watching waves crash and stars and fires relentlessly burning.
I love music. Even in other languages. It's all about the sound, the emotion. I guess I always have though, my constant need for music in the background of everything I do isn't exactly new.
I am realizing today how much time I really have. I have only been out of school for 3 1/2 weeks, and of those I've been gone for almost 2. and there is still 11 WEEKS till move in. ah that is such an amazing feeling.
I think that's all for now. Things are looking up, or maybe I've just shifted where I'm lookin' while I fall.
Hope before fear. Optimism before cynicism. Faith before realism.
Something like that...
