Ahh Summer

I'm currently reading Haruki Murakami's Dance Dance Dance, which I'm really enjoying. I've finally given and read something that might be useful for quizbowl (there is ALWAYS a Murakami question somewhere). It's funny because I associate it a bit with magical realism, but it's a bit more sci-fi (syfy? haha) than that. Still, it's fun. So that was originally written in Japanese. I've read some English books and some Spanish books. Now I have a book translated into Spanish from Portuguese that should be interesting to read. If I finish Crime and Punishment I'll have Russian down too. Self teaching world lit? Sort of!

Alas, all good things come to an end. This is my last weekend here. In many ways, it was peaceful and uneventful. I cleaned, I worked on my presentation, I contemplated packing, I read a lot of web comics. I also had a very nice lunch. Stasha and I were able to get ice cream last night from Ashley's without running into a single high-schooler (damn explo kids are gone forever! huzzah!).

Dear friend, Madeline, left on Friday so Stasha and I went over to watch the rest of mad Men and get as much time as possible. Unfortunately there was a small mishap with a computer, I got a small cut above my lip, and I ate too much cheese popcorn. Am jealous that Stasha and Mad get to see each other on Whim retreat soon.

I'm glad to go home for a while and see my peeps there. I have big plans...to sleep and go to the beach (maybe? or maybe i'll be too lazy for even that). It's been a good summer and I'm left here now with a sort of giddy, nostalgic, peaceful feeling. Who knows if I'll ever spend another summer in New Haven? This just reminds me of James who said that he wouldn't go back to Chile because he'd already been there and he would go somewhere new if he was to travel. I felt like it would be nice to explore the rest of the country, since we got to see so little of it.

Eh, I should just forget about it and keep living.
