i'm so psyched, because me and ashley are talking on a more than regular basis again. we used to talk so much, and then we just kindof tapered, and now, thanks to gmail, we email like three times a day and gmail makes it looks all message-board like. i totally appreciate it. i really want to go down to visit, hopefully within the school year. we'll see what all happens. its been a few years since i've been down there, and for all the years i've missed, she's come up here at least once. therefore, i really need to get my hiney down there to visit. and right now, it sounds really good.

i'm looking out the window, and its raining and really crappy, and doesn't look like it's going to let up. but honestly, it's fall, which i hate, so i'd rather it be extremely crappy like this instead of that look the sky gets because the sun is lying on its deathbed...it's tired, and the hemisphere is holding its hand as the sun looks on us tiredly, still broadcasting some light but there's a mutual understanding between the hemisphere and the sun that it won't be much longer before the sun passes on. the hemisphere's only comforting logic is that some other hemisphere somewhere else will get to experience the sun now - someone else will have light and warmth and summer and freedom, and someday, our hemisphere and the sun will get to be together again. see? fall really is death. how poetic.

i was thinking about starting up a french part of my blog. where i only write in french when compelled. i have one through the school for the duration of my class that i have to do assignments with, but those aren't necessarily things that i really wantt to write about all that bad. sure, french current events are interesting, but i'd rather practice writing about whatever i want, because those are obviously the words that i'm going to be using. this in french, that's the bit. except it'd just be some offshoot that only i'd probably look at, since it's sole purpose is for my practice. anyway, i had another blog idea at work the other day. attaching another blog about my life revelations at the retirement home - things about life and people in different stages of life. what it's like to be surrounded by people who can watch me and simply smile, because they've done all the things i've done to some effect...or to be surrounded by people who can't really do that anymore, or can't remember. it's difficult sometimes. this is an interesting experience that i'm glad to be getting, because it gives me a perspective on life that not a whole lot of people have. anyway.

in all reality, i should go to dinner. the only thing i'm in dinner for is the cranberry juice, because no matter what i seem to eat at sodexho (or, it seems, much of anywhere else anymore), it seems to cause some kind of digestive revolt. i have no clue what's going on. but after that, i have a meeting, and after that, i have lots-o-homework that i need to get done. i somewhat accidentally fell asleep bundled up in my gigantor blanket (i love this blanket to death, my sister made it for me), and so i need to finish this stuff tonight.

alors, je pense que je vais voyager au diner...je n'ai pas faim, mais il me faut du jus alors je ne suis pas malade pour classe a demain. a bietot!
