Wow. So much for regular updates. Let me catch y'all up to speed on the past month.
I spent my last few weeks at home shitting around with my friends. I'm really going to miss these girls and our crazy ghost hunting-salsa eating- 3 am ventures.
I mean it girlies.
Then around the end of August I left to go back up to San Francisco. I'll admit, I cried like a baby. Being a sophomore doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to all of the people I love.
One of my best memories of the entire summer happened the day before I left. The epic Fog in S.F. means that stars, the moon, and pretty much the entire sky is invisible. My absolutely amazing bestest friend stayed up the entire nightt with me, so we could watch the sunrise on my last day in So-Cal. We saw a power line explode, the morning papers being delivered, and watched Dragonball Z reruns. Amazing night? I think yes.
I miss being able to see this so much. City lights are beautiful, but they can't compare to the moon and stars.
The drive up to San Francisco is about 400 miles, and factoring in burrito stops, smoke breaks, and refueling, took a little under 7 hours. I got to see more small towns than I can count, sing crappily and loudly to System of A Down, and share one of my favorite places on Earth with some of my favorite people on Earth.
These guys.
I showed them around the city, avoiding the tourist traps in favor of the lesser known but more awesome places. The tiny garden between two skyscrapers. The patch of flowers in an alleyway. The corner of the docks that the fog forgets about.
Bay Bridge. Fixie. Fog. San Francisco in one picture.
Somehow it was harder to say goodbye to them then it was to leave my own town. As long as they were with me, so was a part of home. I miss them. I miss my friends. I miss my family. I miss my cats.
School is meh. The rest of my time can be summed up as follows:
New hair. And piercing.
New tattoo, a tribute to the wise, wonderful, and witty Mr. Oscar Wilde.
CANDY. I've got to have my Whirly Pops.
Sorority recruitment! Congratulations to all my new sisters,
I hope you love Greek life as much as I do.
The past few weeks have been pretty intense. I'm currently running on caffiene, sugar, and pure adrenaline.
I haven't slept in a week, I've barely been home, I can barely stand up, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope college, high school, middle school, work, or whatever it is you do is going well.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, and don't forget to look at the stars. You never know when you won't be able to anymore.
