each day seems to be getting shorter and shorter. there are still so many things i need to do before school starts in seven (7) days. paint a purple buddha, see the sunrise, read three (3) more books.
i've been told to just take it one day at a time, but even that is becoming way too much for me. just this week alone i said goodbye to tom, shannon, corey, zack, nick, ross, pat, and patty.
i've never been good at goodbyes. i feel as though i've written about this before. i know i'll see everyone at thanksgiving, but... things will be different. not weird different or anything - we'll still be goofy and geek out at the stupidest things and it will be exactly the same - but the circumstances will be different. i'll inevitably have to say goodbye again. and i am hating that.
i went over to dan's the other day and we ate lunch from pick pockets (delicious greek deli, ginormous sandwiches with yummy vegetarian things like hummus and tabouleh and falafel oh my!), played with his adorable puppy chloe, and watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. that night, nick and i went to thayer and enjoyed sitting in the window at starbucks, people watching and sipping on iced passion tea (me) and iced latte (him). he's not going too far - wentworth in boston and corey will be right nearby at emmanuel, so i hope to be visiting them sometime in october, maybe hit up some concerts in the city and the ansel adams exhibit at the museum of fine arts.
the other morning, ross came over for breakfast at chez kowal and we ended up just sitting on my porch and talking for almost five hours about everything and nothing at the same time. it was perfect. he's such a wonderful friend and it was so good to see him, especially since he leaves today!
last night nana and tata had their annual end of the summer clambake bash '05, so rye and i stopped by for a little while, hung out with jacknmatt (god, they are the freakin' coolest cousins everrrrr), played with a wooden train set, and teased them about their kindergarten loves.
afterward i went over to patty's and shared some laughs that have to last me a few weeks. i know i'll be seeing her before columbus day (i'll visit her or vice versa) so it's all good. later on, i went back to ryan's for some chillage and goodbyeage to pat and we watched the andy milkonakis show after i ate all the frosting off a cake his mom made (we're going to blame it on his deaf cat, helen). needless to say, by the time i got home this morning, i was exhausted and crashed until just before noontime today.
the shopping continues, but i've moved from clothes to dvds and more books. this week i added eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and romeo + juliet to the movie collection. books: the tipping point by malcolm gladwell; how i paid for college: a novel of sex, friendship, theft, and musical theatre by marc acito (HILARIOUS!! i loved it, quick read); the journals of kurt cobain; and i still need to finish siddhartha by herman hesse
looks like i've got my work cut out for me this week.
