drat to summer being almost over! getting in my kicks while i still can...like making pad thai for dinner last night, and wontons (with five different types of fillings cause my roommate likes to "experiment," bless his heart) tonight. also, checking out a club tomorrow night for the first time here in the triangle (i have been clubbing a few times this summer, but only when i was in DC visiting friends). and visiting Betty one last time on Sunday if i can drag my lazy ass out of bed in time to make it to her church. and then there's the packing...-
in a conversation with a friend from school tonight, i mentioned that i'd gotten into routines with my roommate this summer so that we're fairly dependent on one another around the apartment. when she freaked out about how dependence is bad, i thought for a minute and was able to reassure her with this self-portrait: my memory's kind of like my mouse's - change my cage while i'm distracted with something else and i won't do more than blink when i get back to the altered home. when i leave here i'll be distracted with traveling, and for the first week back on campus i'll be a big ball of good stress. and then i'll settle back into that life - a new roommate situation, but college life will give me a warm feeling of deja vu.
