It's been very rainy here the last few days. We've had the most incredible thunderstorms, and I just want to spend whole afternoons in bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez and a cup of peppermint tea.
It's funny, when we came here they said we wouldn't be the same when we left. It's certainly true, but I wonder if they really get the credit for that. We're here for 8 weeks. If we didn't change in that time, I'd be more upset.
Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Yeasayer and Antony & the Johnsons. Also, the Bon Iver EP is stunning. Last weekend, the Pitchfork festival was streamed live online. I watched the Thermals and the Flaming Lips. Not as good as being there, but a really good medium.
I'm looking at some pretty big changes in my life in the next year. I have a lot to look forward to: being a sophomore, a heavy academic schedule for the first semester and then a fair amount of freedom in determining what I do with the second semester, figuring out how to fit Arabic into my life, getting back into French, starting economics classes and seeing where that leads me... so much more, but those are the big things I'm really looking forward to.
