So I was just checking my school email and read that three girls died and two were injured in an auto accident this morning. So many students have died this year it’s getting hard to keep them straight.
Someone died a couple weeks ago, and before winter break two people died. I know there has been more but damn….
I accompanied my roommate yesterday to her eye appointment downtown, and as I sat in the waiting room I noticed some generic toys sitting in the corner. There were various trucks and action figures and a huge plastic castle with plenty of nooks for figures to hide. Remember that part of childhood where you could pick up a toy and create a world for yourself? That action figure wasn’t just a toy. It was a soldier in battle. That castle had value. Every toy had a role to play. It would take mere seconds to create elaborate scenarios that would play out for hours.
I then looked at the toys and realized that as an adult I rarely use my imagination like that because “there’s no point.” I looked at the toys and realized that there was no point anymore.
When did you realize your childhood was over for good? That moment was it for me.
Fun Fact: My mother bought me that “Lee New Hampshire” shirt for christmas. I am still not quite sure where/how she obtained it but I am not complaining.
Also, I have 2 hours to write a response to this blackboard discussion question for my John Water’s class. and I barely read the text so yay bullshitting your entire way through college.
Also in college news I am moving down the hall into my friend Diana’s room tomorrow so today is the last day I can hang out without pants on. RIP single room.
so i’m sort of praying that this is a migraine. I have had this throbbing headache/pain behind my left eye for a good two/three weeks now and it comes and goes, and i’ve been taking advil non-stop to combat it. I have now shut all light out of my room (it’s only 6) because its just so fucking painful. This dimmed computer screen hurts to look at. maybe I have brain cancer. maybe i’m dying. oh my god. I have a doctors appt. tomorrow at like 11am so we’ll see.
Isn’t it a beautiful Ohio morning? Yeah..
Here’s my to-do list for today (no particular order):
- finish watching United States of Tara on Netflix.
- survive on these 2 pancakes all day so I don’t have to go back out for food.
- read one of the…. 7 books I have on my bookshelf that I bought and never touched since.
- do some homework (hahaha no that shit ain’t gonna happen)
-take my trash out? Okay now the list is getting sad.
What are you all doing with your day?
So every Thanksgiving we go to my Aunt and Uncle’s house in Gloucester, MA. It’s the regular group from my mom’s side of the family, but some of my Aunts and Uncles family friends come over too. The kid on the right is a friend of my cousins and their family always comes around for dinner and I actually had a legitimate conversation with him this year about filmmaking.
You can’t tell in the picture but he is a luscious ginger and every year he gets hotter and I can’t even deal with it.
personal moment here so sorry
my grandpa on my dad’s side has had a couple minor heart attacks the last couple of weeks so he’s in rough shape. Apparently he had a fall and was put back in the hospital but it looks like he’ll be okay.
I also just found out that my cousin Katie had a seizure and was put in the hospital and they don’t know what caused it.
shit is falling apart, and I have no idea how to react.
on the bright side I have one more day of classes and then I have a shuttle taking me to the amtrak station at 10:30pm. then I have to wait around until 3:20am for my train to leave and then it’s a 17hour train ride from Toledo to Boston (on a train which probably has no wifi) and then i’m home until sunday when I fly back. (that wasn’t really a “bright side” moment now that I look at it)
I can’t wait to get out of here.
