i haven’t cried yet.

i keep waiting for that one goodbye to push me over the edge, but so far i’ve stayed dry-eyed.

i’m about to start getting my room ready to pack into a uhaul on sunday.  it’s strange because that’s what i’m doing, but my brain hasn’t made the connection yet that i’m really, really leaving.

not really leaving.  not leaving boone exactly, the lease doesn’t run out until august.  this apartment is still mine.

but leaving app, we’re all leaving, most of us, and we’re scattering and some of us are going to chapel hill but others are going to washington dc or charlotte or just staying in boone but that’s still three hours away.

i don’t know guys, it’s weird.

events of today

the subway guy asked if i was only getting veggies this time and when i left he said “see you later!”

i just brushed a crumb into my eye.

basil has full on sprouted.  cilantro’s seriously considering it.  chives and parsley are in last place, but they’re working hard, i can tell.

have to decide asap about where i’m going to live next year - eep.

realizing that you’re twenty-two years old and cannot rewatch lord of the rings because smeagol scares you too much.

gonna drive to tcby tomorrow

and go for a run down that path

that leads to the house we used to sneak by

to get to the lake where we first began to flirt

maybe i’ll go in the lake

it’s supposed to rain

which just kind of makes everything even more perfect

three classes, two meetings, and a mile-long run (eep!) today, i’m gonna sit down with half a pizza and knock out some homework.

i’m not a big history person.  it’s just not something that sticks when it’s a long quick series of dates, you know?  but i went through a couple phases when i was younger where i got really into stuff.  ancient egypt was a big one.  gypsy culture for a while.  the first one was probably the presidents though.  i had this book called lives of the presidents: fame, shame (and what the neighbors thought) and it was just this sort of picture book about all the different presidents and weird little details about their lives.  coolidge had a pet raccoon and his nickname was smiley because he didn’t.  taft once got stuck in the bathtub.  that kind of thing.  this post doesn’t really have a point except i thought franklin pierce was a total hottie and that eisenhower was the best president (even though he was a republican).

greensboro

  • a lime green room in a bed and breakfast owned by the most uncomfortable woman i’ve ever met who probably wasn’t expecting college students and especially not a boyfriend and thought i was going to steal her bike trail map - “they’re my collection”
  • a one-mile walk in the wrong direction trying to find a bicycle to rent but when they told us it’d be $35 a bike we just gave up and went to a used book store instead with high ceilings and decorative books and overpriced poetry
  • a bistro and bar called josephine’s patronized by middle aged couples wearing muted colors that contrasted with my chucks and teal rather shockingly but we didn’t have reservations anyway so i asked for recommendations and they suggested their sister restaurant, “more casual,” and we laughed bent over when we made it to the sidewalk, who’s snooty when their restaurant shares a block with a papa john’s and a laundromat and a consignment shop anyway?
  • a crowded bar with blackthorn ale and a blueberry beer and gingerbread croutons and a lemon tarte served with raspberry sauce and whipped cream, that was incredible, and maybe nursing school
  • a bouncer awake since four thirty so i wound up with accidental xs on my hands but it was alright, if you haven’t had a vodka sprite with grenadine you should try it, the nurses were better than expected, very good actually, and the mountain goats were incredible as expected, the crowd wasn’t great but she and her friend swapped places and decided i was “actually really nice” and john darnielle sang some of his songs so low if we hadn’t been second row we wouldn’t have heard
  • a fast walk back, tired legs, chilly and exhilarated, tipsy, happy

we have fun

theoretically, i could receive no As this semester (but work my absolute butt off to get Bs and maybe a C) and still graduate with a very decent gpa.

i’m in super planning mode.  i want everything done now.  i need to make a packing list.  ohhhhhh my gosh.

how often do you go to the caribbean and only pay airfare?

stage makeup converts fairly easily to karaoke makeup and good moods are the best

today at the child development center, a kid told me she liked my hair then asked, “can i smell it?”

another kid was laying on his cot before nap, and whenever i passed he’d yell “BIKINI BOTTOM!” and giggle.

children are the weirdest.
