reminiscing summer



It's the middle of September and I just want to go back to eating shave ice and drinking bubble tea and laying around reading what I want when I want. Bon dances, hiking, passing out on the beach for hours-- I miss everything! Except that this weather is still lingering-- it needs to go. I don't know if I'll be able to survive under this kind of humidity for much longer.

But back to reality. It's week four of the fall semester and I'm overwhelmed with books. We've finished roughly two per class (that's six total) and I'm getting confused with characters and plot lines. Everything is blurring together and I'm having trouble keeping up. So far, Whitman is probably my favorite author I've read this semester. But we're moving on to Jack London and his short stories are great. Glad that it isn't like Spring 2011 where I was stuck reading Medieval lyrical poetry day in and day out.

I went shopping at Revolution Books today to pick up the rest of my reading for the semester. What's-her-face and I watched news clips on Al Jazeera while she told me that Libya and Egypt are in dire need of communism. Which turned into a ploy to invite me to join the communist party. Nonetheless, the books are surprisingly cheap here. I bought roughly 16 books for only $100. You have no idea how happy I am!

I'd post photos of the food I've been eating but... well... they're really embarrassing. 75% of the photos are loco mocos, the other 25% is just poor quality photos anyway.
