Dear Diary,
mood: overwhelmed

I am sorry I have neglected you. But, I am overwhelmed. The to-do list is growing longer and my ability to stay awake for extended periods of time is shrinking. I am overwhelmed. with what i have learned, and with what i have yet to learn. with the disparity i find between my understandings of this world and the understandings held by those closest to me. with the unrelenting desire i have to screw school and go sit on the beach and read Harry Potter and books about Morocco.

4 weeks, people. count them. it's that time.
that time where there are 4985724 things to do and .0007 % motivation to do them.

it's that time where some feel the need to pull closer to friends for fear of losing them over the coming months of absence, and were some feel the need to pull away from friends to make the goodbyes feel less painful.

it's that time where you tell your silly heart to give up because it would be pointless to find someone so close to summer, that time when you feel like things will be so different in such a short time from now..on the other side of summer...fall, autumn.

but we welcome the changes that the dry, warm summer brings. a time to breathe, to rest, to prepare, to explore, to adventure.

some new developments:
Morocco is for sure. august 28th. 3.5 months. hey hey.
living in a trailer for five weeks in july/august? YOU BET.
living with 11 other amazing people for 8 weeks in the colorful community of city heights? most definitely.

also, haikus are hip. try it.

welcome, summer sun
pull me away from this place
bring new adventures
