it was beautiful out today. i forgot how much i love this campus in spring. i was heading to my spanish class this afternoon, annoyed because i had to spend the afternoon in class while it was so nice out, but i ran into bobby, carrie, and tessa and we decided that instead of going to class we would go play back campus on the balance beams... so we we walked back through mud puddles and goofed around and then bobby got the brilliant idea to make me climb through this tire hanging from a tree. it was ridiculous, but we did it.
spring break was really good for me. i needed a break so bad. i didn't do much of anything which was exactly what i needed. i spent the last weekend in minneapolis and had a little reunion with all my siblings. plus i got to see val and rosa which was wonderful. my niece read me treasure island and we had an easter egg hung on sunday. now i just have to get through these last five weeks. i have so much to get done that i know this semester is going to be over before i know it.
tonight william kristol, a neo-conservative, came to speak. i was going to go but i ended up falling asleep so i didn't make it. i just got an email that was sent out to all the students saying that in the middle of this guy's talk, while he was discussing the legacy of President Truman, and his involvement in international affairs after the end of World War II, a student got up from the audience and proceeded to climb onto the stage, hitting both Kristol and Doug Bennett (the president of Earlham) with a pie.
all i can say is... a pie?!?

reasons today was good:
-i spent a long time this afternoon at the shelter where i volunteer hanging out with a girl that is two years younger than me who's staying there.
-i taught a violin lesson to this local highschool girl who's really good at violin and i think will be a lot of fun to teach.
-i studied a lot for this huge personality mid-term i have on wednesday.
-i swam a mile.
and...
-i got a letter from my boss saying that i'm employee of the month. i don't have a clue why!

this morning after getting up early to smoke before brunch,
the crew made a pact.
we decided that when we're 34 we're going to drop whatever we're
doing and take a trip to jamaica.
we discussed taking a fishing boat, but thought that might take too long.
bobby says by then we'll want to do some soul searching on a yacht.
it's going to be good.

it snowed last night. the flakes looked like stars and we smiled and stomped through the powder while our fingers and cheeks stung with cold. went to blue shutters and danced for a couple hours. jello shots and hands on hips and shoes falling down the stairs. it was a good start to what i think will be a good semester. my classes are good and we play yahtzee and now there's finally snow on the ground. today has been the perfect sunday, although completely lazy and unproductive. woke up late and ate a wisconsin omelet at sunshine cafe. then went and saw the movie "in good company" which made me sleepy. now i'm drinking coffee and trying to wake up and do some reading...
i'm really glad to be back here.

tomorrow i head back to indiana. i think i'm ready. break has been champagne sprayed across ping pong tables and hot tubs and late night games of trivial pursuit and getting stuck in dave's truck and vanilla lattes and bar pizza and 12 hour ski races and tetris - it's been good. but it's also left me absolutely confused with all the same old things that i had just about gotten over but thanks to new years eve kisses and cold hands it's all right there again. i just want to escape to school where everything is so comfortable and easy and i can just hide from everything outside of it. but that's unfair and i hope i don't just go back and feel like i'm trying to erase all of this that has made me so happy these past few weeks. i worry sometimes with how easily i let myself attach to things, not really attach, but just hold onto. but what worries me more is how easy it is for me to just say "forget it" and let go. i want those long conversations about astrology and the songs he sang to me and the wine stains on her slippers and the scar on the back of your hand to stay a part of me. i want these memories, i just wish they didn't make me feel so torn and so hopeful.

boulevard of broken dreams - green day |
] |
i wonder if this day will ever end and if i'll ever get everything done. three more days of classes, then i just have to get through finals. i can't believe it's almost over.
last night was frustrating but it ended perfect. after sitting outside and talking about dreams and then laying out in the cold, wet field and watching the stars until we started shivering. then we ran to three dorms trying to find a vending machine that wasn't empty and bought junk food and curled up in blankets. fell asleep watching lady in the tramp and giggling.
other then that this weekend has been hangovers and 15 page papers and christmas music and holding hands and mafia and secrets and for sale signs and eurotrash.
i like this song...

carrie and i started listing off things we dislike... music theory homework, lost documents, the music our neighbors always blast, cafeteria food, waking up for 8 am classes...
all i know is i hate the fact that i keep staring at my phone, waiting for it to ring... i hate distance. i hate waiting. i hate not understanding.

finally i feel like summer is more than just work. road trip to milwaukee with rosa, kaite, and nori where we went camping and ran around with dreamy boys while more dreamy boys sang and we danced and bob schneider wrote me a love note and there were fist fights and pipe shops and taxi rides and taco bell at 3 am... last night we wandered around bayfield and ate icecream and took pictures. then we had a campfire on the beach and ate s'mores and ran in the sand and i got drunk and talked to mariah about how much i love where were live and how i don't appreciate things enough. so today i went swimming for the first time this summer and it was perfect and now i feel like i should sleep because i haven't done much of that lately...

my car died on the way home from work today which was a bummer but then i came home and found four baby kittens in our barn which made up for it. they're incredibly cute. my niece gets here tomorrow and i plan on going to the beach and playing with the kittens and eating icecream. i love summer.

summer apparently is here. back working at maggie's so much that all i dream about is waiting on tables and folding napkins. last night was too much iced coffee with becca and mariah, catching up and sharing turtle sundaes. tonight i ate ginger cookies at hannah and mary's house and we talked about bears and bike rides. it's been such a long time but somehow it all just sinks in... we're right back where we were and it feels like i never went away and it's all just picking up where it was left off in august. same people at work, same late night drives home, sames music in the cd player, same drunk guy at the bar when we stop there for cigarettes, same card games, same boring days off of sleeping and tv... it's comforting i guess and i'm glad to be home, it just feels like something is missing...

class at 8 this morning, it's so cold when you first wake up. i have to force myself from under the covers. but we read shakespeare in class and ryan gives me coffee so it works out. indiana is bare, but this morning there were flurries in the air. i wish some of it would stay. i miss snow drifts and shoveling. this week has been late nights of reading politics and playing cribbage and drinking killian's red. sometimes we all head out late at night to back campus and it's so cold you can't feel anything but the blank sky and your restlessness keeps you warm. it's finally friday, this week has been never-ending.

i'm home. we've been snowed in for most of the weekend, first big blizzard of the winter. i got here just in time. lots of laying around in my pajamas and watching dvd's. got a little bored today and actually started to do homework. it's strange being back and suddenly not having anything to do. i miss home all the time when i'm at school and now i'm here and all i miss is school. it's good to be here though. went to hannah's. she gave me crazy clothes and we drank white russians and watched finding nemo. mika and matt came down and we made pizza and laughed. tonight the roads are finally decent, so i'm driving to ashland and staying the night with becca. mariah's coming home tonight too, hopefully i'll see her before i head to iowa on wednesday. my feet are cold and there's nothing prettier than trees covered in fresh snow...

this past week has been too much fun. it started off with a last minute weekend road trip. four of us drove to indiana university in bloomington. met some random characters, fell asleep on a chair in a lobby. the girls there all had silly accents and the boys just talked about football. tonight it's storming and the wind is making the leaves spin. will and i drove downtown and ate some of the best apple pie i've ever had. everyone is stressed out this week though. it's crunch time. my roommate fell apart earlier so i brought her a slice of pie and we all started watching finding nemo at midnight. i wrote two papers today and i still have some reading to do. only a week and a day and i'll be back in wisconsin. it'll be so nice to have a break, but it's going to be strange. i haven't been home since august and i bet it's all the same...

the hallway smells like microwave popcorn and my hair smells like cigarette smoke. i didn't crawl into bed until 5:30 this morning and now i can hardly keep my eyes open. we wrestled in the rain and i sat in the baseball dugout in the middle of the night. he told me he didn't feel hopeful anymore and i felt bad for being so happy. someone wrote "love" in pink chalk all over the walls and i hate the akwardness between us. last night was shopping carts at wal-mart and midnight taco-bell. yelling about wisconsin with rob and hayden breakdancing at blue shutter house and carrie calling at three am and dragging me to OA. nights in indiana are too cold and dark, it makes them lonely... i slept most of today and now i'm groggy and dissapointed because i just learned something that i didn't really want to know about. bleh.

back at earlham. it felt strange pulling into campus and thinking it was nice to come back -home-. strange that i think of this as home now. i've been gone five days and i missed it, a lot.
break was so good though. i saw crazy nori and we danced around milwaukee. bought short black skirts and drank coffee and rode the elevators at the hilton over and over. friday night we went to the rave and saw the invasion tour -- the starting line, the early november, allister, and home grown. we bounced around and got out toes smashed. i miss my little sister so much, she should be here.
satuday i went to madison. saw the boys. it was strange seeing them, we didn't know what to talk about. so we drank and ran around madison because the streets were full of drunk badger fans. we went to random parties and ended up running through the streets at midnight in the pouring ran. i slept on the couch and caught the train back to chicago this morning. it was good seeing them, but oddly enough i was ready to come back to indiana.
abby got us a new rug and lamp which has me all excited. becca brought me cake. i should unpack.. lalala..

there are six people studying in my room right now. i should be studying for my spanish mid-term but instead i'm talking about classes and music with ryan. this week is a bit stressful because of mid-terms, but SAGA nachos and wrestling matches in the hallway, and watching cooking shows on tv make it all okay.
wednesday i'm driving with some friends to chicago and then i'm taking the train up to milwaukee to see nori and my dad. also hopefully i'll get to madison to see some friends and visit tyler in mil-town. it's going to be a good break. getting out of indian where it's all cornfields and pick-up trucks will be nice.
this weekend was full of water-gun fights and dancing to bands at the rock rehab and the big 'porn star party' and taco bell at 3 am.
this place is too distracting. i need to study.

Saul Williams performed here tonight. He's amazing. Someone asked him if there was one thing he could have us all do after we left what would it be and without hesitating he answered "kiss a stranger." It was perfect. I sat in the auditorium for an hour and a half in awe. I can't get over it...
It's almost been a month since I got here. I don't know where the time has gone. It's toga parties and late night coffee and five page essays and crying on my shoulder and ramen noodles. I love this.
I need to read The Iliad and get some sleep, but I doubt that'll happen...
