boston and i have been super buddy-buddy lately. i ask her for a sunny day when i don’t have twelve hours of class and internship inside of classrooms full of recycled air. i ask her to give me just enough time to finish up the wonder spot by melissa bank & sula by toni morrison and (guys, my life was changed on the arm of my grandma chair). i ask her for lovely blog friends and old co-workers to get wired puppy with.
she gives it to me. she tips her cap, says “sorry i was being so lame this time last year,” and gives it to me.
mornings have been punctuated by tea + absurd amounts of soy creamer, daydreaming about anne sexton papers, and coffee with my favorite professors talking about grad school prospects (swoon). afternoons are a hurried rush of microwaved peanut noodles and trying to snag bylines at my internship. nights of bananagrams and pumpkin candles and puzzle times and swing-dancing with strange guys in chairman mao costumes (seriously though). breakfast nooks + earl grey. bowling + tasty burger fries eaten on alleyway stoops. snow muddled with red leaves.
in short, this is the ivy-covered life i’ve constructed. i dig it. it’s like a ridiculous caricature of an anthropologie catalogue, but i so dig it.
you so good, you defintely need to write a chicken soup for the soul book you could title it chicken soup for the boston college student intern extrordinaire soul
Man, I dig that too.
I finished up Sula by Toni Morrison recently as well. We must be on the same brainwaves or something.
GAH YES! i would have to agree on that one
Check out my latest post. I pulled a Mackenzie and did a playlist post.
