Friday was the last day of school before spring break. It was strange to not have any homework those last couple of days; My body and mind were just so used to the nonstop work for 2 weeks. I had lunch with Justin and we decided to go to some smoothie place. He looked so funny (in a cute way) sitting on one of their chairs by the bar, I don't think I'll forget that image. After classes were over I remember sitting in the grass and the waves of College Academy were just crashing everywhere. There were countless girls screaming and jumping and running and leaping, and just pandemonium was rampant in these concentrated groups all around building 2. No wonder BC hates CA, I mean we saw it all then. He told me that our major decisions are influenced by those around us, which is why we change our minds. I don't know if there was a double meaning in that, but he has been clever before.
That night, all of my dad's side went to the Mai Kai for dinner for my aunt's birthday, so I got to see my cousin from Palm Beach. I've known her literally all of my life, I love this girl. I think what's going to happen is that when we grow old , she'll move somewhere like Portland, and I will just have to live close to her so I can see her. Either that, or I'll drive or fly to her house every other month, regardless of the cost. We talked about our sense of humor and how each of us feels like a jerk every time we bust out laughing at something no one else finds hysterical. I don't know. It's just nice to see her and talk to her again. That, and I got a beautiful coconut ring.
I experienced two moments of pure happiness that weekend:
1. After work on Saturday I met my mom at the new Goodwill by Kabooms. She left after like, 15 minutes, but I stayed for a long time to, yanno, properly thrift. Because of course there is a right way. When I left, it was dark and I didn't feel up to visiting my grandma, so I went home. Right when I drove on the ramp that goes from 595 west to 75 south, the sunset was at it's peak. I could see the Everglades and warm clouds disappearing to the right, and the lights and cars and roads and commotion (which was all very beautiful too) on the left. O The One That Is Real reached that one part where the instruments explode and Jim sings his soul out. The wind was something furious and everything happened in tune with each other. I couldn't believe it.
2. On Sunday night, they were playing all three Lord of the Rings on TNT, so I sat on the most comfortable couch ever with two of the most comfortable blankets, and punched it out. It was great. Just sitting there for hours, with the windows open, the nice lamp was on behind me, it was cold as fuck and windy too, the wind chimes were going, and there I was with Gordon . It was perfect.
So now I'm on spring break, and as life would have it, it's not as enjoyable as I thought it would be. I'm not motivated to shoot.. at all.
But good things are coming this week, or I hope they will be good.
For now, I'll just have to stick it out.
