a taste of summer

last book i've read: health psychology by shelley e. taylor
songs on my iPod i've been jammin' to: moulin rouge, vol. 2, everything radiohead, and a dash of dashboard confessional (i'm a loser, i know)
general mood: peaceful.
a quote i heard today while in cultural anthropology: "my life is a delayed reaction." --jeremy cowie

ah, the ironic reading period. the time when one is meant to read, catch up and generally relax before they take midterms. midterms that everyone has already taken. sure, maybe back in the day reading period consisted of actual reading, but as any lawrentian will tell you, it usually ends up being a glorified break. and i, along with many others, have treated it as such.

it is so good to get away from the daily grind. the studying, the drama, the long hours with nothing gained.... i was screaming overstressed, so the break was good. i did nothing for two days and then went to minneapolis, mn with the fam. i love spending time with them. mom and i spoiled ourselves, considering it was mother's day AND my birthday.... hee hee, i'm 20. and i feel so stinkin' old. but life goes on.... i was my mom's present for the day. awww, sappy.

and yet it's good to be back. i love spending time with w and s and all the kids (and my favorite adult) at work. at least my relationships are intact, even if my grades never will be where i want them to be.... at least i could forget about those for a time.

i can't wait for summer. but i will miss you dearly.... i always miss you. take care.

oh and yes, my life is a delayed reaction. it's those moments when i am always just a little bit behind. will i always....
