+++ title = “05” date = 2006 +++ It was hot today. Scorchingly Killingly hot. For the first time this year, I felt the Sauna of my car as I sat down, the stickiness of the steering wheel burning my skin off, avoiding the seatbelt as I clicked in. And that lovely two-minute wait between total AC oasis and standing-on-the-sun boil. Friday night: Chris and I went to Tower and I bought a random Eno DVD, two video paintings that ended up being quite strange and I don’t know if it was worth the money I spent.

This week was fast, this day has gone really fast, this year went by the fastest. It feels like decades ago now, last summer with my trip to Minneapolis, Astronomy class, RA training, saying goodbye to everyone. At the same time, I didn’t know this is how empty being a senior feels. I still have 10 more classes to take, and since they’re intense, I expect to be satisfied from what I learn next year.

+++ title = “05” date = 2006 +++ There’s been a lot of downtime at work, lately. So much, in fact, that I’ve been archiving all of my livejournal entries in this log. I always thought it’d be fun to look at old entries, and it was. I was a pretty melodramatic/attention craving high schooler – most of my posts were about how much I hated my life, how much I wanted a girl, theater drama, and songwriting.

+++ title = “05” date = 2006 +++ I’m back at home, and while we were gone, summer decided to creep up and take form. It’s not necessarily temperature – today wasn’t excruciatingly warm as summer in North Potomac normally is, but it was the sun that got me. Especially around sunset, it hangs above everything like it’s checking over everyone before it says goodnight. Vacation was an overall success. The last night we were in Ocean City, we played Texas Hold ‘Em.

Imagine my surprise today when we walked into, not a hotel room, but my uncle’s condo, complete with wireless internet access and a widescreen TV, bags of chips, my own bedroom, a balcony with a view of the sea, and various other awesome components. I could make a habit out of this place. We got a late start getting out of north potomac, and of course, mom was freaking out about it, but still was very adamant about getting to the outlet mall.
