summer evenings

it is a gorgeous early summer evening and i have all the windows and doors open (the ones with screens anyway) to enjoy the breeze. the birds have been chirping all day, the trees rustling in the wind, and its lovely here. i got to sleep in, eat ice cream, and just made myself the BEST dinner (sauteed chicken, pine nuts and garlic with pesto and angel hair pasta. bellisimo!). today i am supposed to work on 20 pgs of my thesis to turn in monday; i'll get to that i'm sure.
for now, i'm just enjoying the day.
hope you're all having a wonderful MAY so far! xoxo

letters

dear end of the semester,

i waited a long time for you-- the entire semester, in fact. and you have finally come, and i am glad you're here, but i am sad that my coursework for my master's is done. i am also going kind of insane with all the papers i need to work on, etc., when i have no more motivation. and i have no time for friends, blogging, etc., but i'm glad you' re here because it means i get to sleep a lot! my fav thing! huzzah! now its time for you to go away and summer to start so i can have a normal life again, like the one i had pre-grad school. only this time, it's like a real summer vacation! yay!
love,
me
