Limonana Summer



The heat is starting to set in but this definitely helps me cool down. It's basically lemonade with mint, it's delicious.

I feel
heavy.
Weighed down
by decisions.
Lack of
accomplishment.
Do you miss
the things
you will never
complete?
If not,
I will
miss them
for you.

Each And Every One

Spring break is next week and my mom is coming to visit. It should be interesting to travel around a bit more, I haven't done much of that since I've been here.

I'm looking forward to getting out of here though, not that it hasn't been nice but this is probably going to be my last summer home and I'd like to savor it. I want to sit on the dock and eat Waterfront pizza, I want to go to The Rose and eat their delicious popcorn, I want to sit at Dogs-A-Foot with Sumi and drink tart lemonade, I want to get a scoop of Oreo Mint at Elevated Ice Cream, I want to drive around town with the windows down listening to the radio, I want to watch the sun set at Fort Worden, I want to drink a margarita on the deck at Sirens, I want to be with my friends and my family, these moments are summer and home to me and I'm looking forward to each and every one.

April showers bring May flowers

Happy April! It's been so sunny and warm lately but today we had a reminder of winter with rain and cold. However, the tiny pink blossoms outside my door looked beautiful covered in raindrops and I got to wear my kickass brown boots so it wasn't too bad. Work was slow and I resumed my attempt at reading The God of Small Things, I didn't get very far...

One of my students told me he might be dropping out because he's not getting along with his girlfriend. He wants her to wear the hijab and not talk to other boys and she's saying no. And he wants to marry her but can't unless she does these things. Ah young love, drama drama drama.

On the way home today the small car in front of us had five sheep squished together in the back. I felt bad for them because I could see them losing their footing every time the car went around a corner. They were really cute though.
