It's no secret to some of my friends that summer is my favorite time of year. Forget that my birthday happens to fall during the "dog days" part of it, I love summer. For the first time in so long, today felt exactly like a perfect summer day. The weather hovered around 85 (don't get my wrong, hotter is not a problem) and there was a hint of breeze ( Read more... )

Anyway, so the friend asked the questions and I had to think about them. Here was my response ( Read more... )

I'm starting to get depressed about graduation. I don't want to leave. I was looking at apartments and I don't think I'm ready to move into some shit hole with people that might party and that smoke. I just don't want to do this all over again. I wish I was moving in with friends. That would be so much easier ( Read more... )

I found myself in an odd place this morning as I drove through campus. I thought about the wind blowing hard and remembered that when I came to visit the campus the first time, it was so windy that I nearly blew over. It took some thought, but then I realized that this same weekend in January was the same weekend that I visited JMU for the first ( Read more... )
