for some reason, that picture posted twice. haha, odd. i guess you were meant to see it twice. i hope you are enjoying the rest of your summer. summer is such a wonderful season, and i will be so so saddened to let go of it. but i will also embrace fall with open arms. my favourite season is always fall, well during fall, winter, and spring. and then when summer comes, that is my favourite season. but it is outnumbered by fall 3 times, so i suppose fall really is my favourite. i love the coloured leaves changing and the air turning crisp and the scarfs and boots coming out. oh well, it’s not here yet and i am still enjoying the sun, the wind, the sky when it begins to darken and paint the sky with different shades…..
you know what i was thinking today, i use to write poetry a lot in high school, and i don’t anymore. i’m afraid if i were to write poetry now it would sound like something a 14 year old would come up with, haha. everything rhyming and talking about love and heartache when i’ve never experienced either, so that’s all the more reasons why the poetry won’t be any good. maybe tonight before bed however, i will write something down, and if it’s tolerable and tangible and not embarrassing enough, i might even share it with you. (but it will probably end up being “deep” and childish, and everything i would hope it would not be, so don’t plan on seeing it…)
alicia and i went into the cutest shop ever today. its off of brougton and called “terra cotta” it was actually a location in the film, so i wanted to check it out, and so glad i did. they had scented soaps and shoes made out of crushed velvet and little odds and ends trinkets that were so unique and made me so, so, so happy, not to mention a cat named amelia that sat on my lap and made me miss amadeus.
speaking of happy, i have other news that makes me happy. in the fall i have to take a general education elective. the only time they offered french was the same time they only offered senior 1 (and i do not have a choice, i have to take that class) so i signed up for business, and then i thought “why dont i take something i would actually maybe be interested in” and then i signed up for astronomy, and then they switched the class time to end at 10:30 pm (which makes all the sense in the world for the subject matter, however at that hour i usually find myself in a dream-like state, constantly trying to escape my everyday struggles and worries and issues.) so then i signed up for philosophy, which sounds like fun, i always wanted to study it (but i heard the professor was hard to understand because he is from russia, so i was concerned) and as i went out on a whim last night, i saw that they added a 2:00 senior I, and as if a sign from the heavens, a spot in french I had conveniently just deleted itself yesterday and opened itself up to whomever was suppose to fit in. I question my faith a lot. i do have faith, i’m still just not 100% sure where that lies, but wherever it lies, it was with me last night, because it’s the little things in life, the little miracles that work themselves out. i dream of france, i dream of living there and breathing that air and smelling the lavender and taking mid-day naps and drinking rosa under the clear, night sky. so, to end this short story, oui, i will be taking francis in le fall. (i did however, have to sacrifice being in the same senior I as alicia, which is highly upsetting. but we do see each other everyday, and this is something i desperately wanted, so thank you miss alicia for allowing me to do so. you are the best.)
well, enough of these silly words. i wish you a good night or a good day or whatever time it is you’ve stumbled upon this.
xoxo,
