We don't know ourselves well enough-- judgement is a birch-bark filter, and with the wrong twist, it tears far too easily.
I feel more useful when I wander. I came back from Costa Rica, greasy and tanned, and my clothes were rumpled. There was a girl sitting next to me with a beautiful face, and beautiful feet and hands. She was talking on her phone. She was saying things like, "Es estupido.." and "No te sabes todas las cosas," or, "Claro que si."
I started talking with her in Spanish, and I didn't get anywhere because I didn't know the language well enough. So I got off at my stop and walked down Windsor Highway with my bags on my back, the cars at my side, the heat on the sidewalk.
That precious time-- when I was dirty and moving-- was perfection.

YES. wow, that was a bizarre night. and almost a year ago when I think about it! unacceptable...
I graduate middle of may... the 13th I think? Why do you regret it? I can't WAIT to be done with school! It will be bittersweet in some ways I guess, but I'm kind of excited to move on.
DAMN boy it has been a few hundred thousand years since I last saw you! I'm ashamed to say I don't even remember when the last time was!! That's really unfortunate, and if you're in the NYC area we should try to get together before I take the graduation plunge :)
