critical success!

no pants november is basically over. 'twas fun.

not only is tomorrow december 1st (25 days till christmas), it's the first day of second term. i usually feel inspired at the beginning of every term to be sure i'm a good student or whatever. i don't actually have any words of wisdom, but it's snowing right now!

also, i must remember to count how many days until senior year is over. just for kicks.

no pants november and other things

a few friends and i have decided to start "no pants november." not shaving is no fun, therefore, we have decided to wear dresses/skirts to school all month. when we say "no pants" we say it in a non-janky way. it's pretty successful so far. it'll be harder when it gets even colder and there's snow on the ground.

i've start burning incense again lately. i burned a lot during the summer. you know how they say smell is most connected to memory? the smell makes me miss summer so much.

i've been reading proust questionnaires online.

and i'm still reading wuthering heights for ap lit. i'm shocked i don't hate it. gothic literature is kind of fascinating, though.

a lady named eileen at my church was telling me how she was a war bride. she lived in england and was working as a nurse when she met her american soldier husband-to-be. they got married in england in 1945. she was 19. they moved to the u.s. and have lived here since.

that's all.
