forty. three.

take this sinking boat and point it home
we've still got time.

today i downloaded some piano music online. i'm not sure if it's illegal to download free sheet music, but it's very very handy. i'm so excited. except i leave in ten days for camp, and then i won't be home for a month and a half, so i really won't be able to play it very much. that's unfortunate.
[note, i wrote this part as a draft, and then never finished it. so now the dates are a little false, because it's only 2 days until i leave.]

today: cleaned much of the day. honestly, i love a good cleaning. i dread it until i must actually do it, and then getting down and scrubbing the bathroom floor is very refreshing and enjoyable. it's true.

honestly, i feel as if i have too much to say. too much has happened in these past few weeks. when i look back it just seems huge. half my life has been squashed and mooshed together into this past month. incredible. and now i leave so soon for camp-a-roo-ski, a.k.a. camp paradise. it just never stops. but at least it'll slow down a little, up at camp.
ah, i can't wait.

And how many times I'd be lost in the sea
If you weren't there to rescue me


i finished getting camp supplies and such today. i just need stamps. it's fun buying random little things, like new chapstick or pens or disposable cameras.
i need to figure out which books to bring.

looking forward to:
washing dishes.
quiet evenings.
cooking.
coronado nights.
bonfires.
hemp.
chilly mornings.
a new set of staff shirts.
o goodness, can't even begin to say what else. the list goes on and on and on. i honestly have a booku of things flooding my head just now.

maybe slightly dreading:
bugs.
bug bites.
more bugs.
missing the amazing recovery of miss beth.
missing the possible death of mr. smiggles.
forgetting something hugely important.
missing coldplay album release.
missing john mayer and colbie caillat.
missing tai's dance classes.
missing the opening of Dark Knight.
otherwise, you know, i'm good. and the good things pretty much totally cancel out the cons.

It's so simple, and fitting
The path that you are on


OH. almost finished with "Sense and Sensibility." Am feeling muchas confident about ending strong. I actually very much enjoyed this book, moreso than i thought i would. i always figured the story of Pride and Prejudice would be my very favorite, or Persuasion, but after reading this book i am finding it creeping to the top of the list.
i love some of the language in the book. for instance, they use the word "monstrous" all the time, to put emphasis on something in particular.
"she's monstrous pretty."
"he has a monstrous fortune."
it's just funny. can't you just see one of those older obnoxious lady characters saying it? i love it. i might have to add it my vocabulary, slowly slip that in there.

Crave the light, and brave the light,
Stare the light,
And share the light...


anyhow. i best be off. it's getting monstrous late. i've got some busy next two days...
it'll be some wonderful times ahead. don't forget about me. :]]

see you again on the 23rd of July,
christina
