for kim.

dear internet,

things have been going really well. i've spent the last couple of weeks not updating here. instead, i have been going out for coffee (with ginny), reading, writing, walking. and when i say walking, i mean waaaallkkking. i will typically walk from my house to mom's house in order to feed lucy her lunch, and sometimes i walk her downtown (depending on the weather - don't want to take her out when it's too hot). and then i'll walk home, but usually some zig-zag way which means the trek is longer than you'd think.

i walked through oak hill park last week and there were two kids, maybe 14, smoking a joint next to the playground. and i thought to myself, 'dudes. i did that when i was a kid. big ups for wearing sunglasses to hide those bloodshot eyes, now go smoke in the bushes with the rest of the rebels.' geez.

i went to the swim center with melia. too bad i hadn't re-discovered it sooner, because it was a really nice afternoon of swimming & sunning. and only $3 to use. we were two of the first people there and had almost the entire pool to ourselves.

school starts tomorrow night. i have math from 7 - 8:30. i have everything i need, but need to get it together - pens in the backpack and such. also, i would hate to be the "do you have any paper i could use? i'll bring some next class" girl, especially the first meeting, so i should put my binder in my bag tonight. *writes mental note*

i went with annie & the boys to kohl's yesterday. i picked up an insane amount of underwear 'cause it was on sale and so adorable. is this the 24-year-old's version of new school clothes? hhhmmm.

hannah called yesterday afternoon and we met up for drinks and music at zebulons. we met the chef from the new restaurant graffiti (graffiti's?). i would like to go there sometime after the new-ness wears off.

oh, and i start housesitting on wednesday for ten days. it's cool 'cause they live near campus and i get to walk to school. i think i've mentioned that already.

xo,
annette
