- two of my closest friends and i are going to denmark and sweden after we graduate! we have a whole year to plan :) maybe i will meet hamlet! haha and the little mermaid! oh my goodness i cannot wait to be back in europe
- i am visiting kenyon college and i am so incredibly excited, i belong there... it looks like how i imagine camelot, and there are so many things i adore about it.
- joanna newsom and bach have been on repeat in my mind all morning (joanna and johann! hehe)
- i've decided that my perfect husband would be a magical kind of mixture of yann tiersen and eisenheim from the illusionist :):)
- i bought new ballet slippers today
- the bottle for dior's escale aux marquises is so so beautiful... i want to live in it, or wear it, or something!
- for the senior questionnaire, which teachers use to write college recommendations, i had to write about a character from a book who had a profound impact on me. so i chose quasimodo :) but oh goodness there are so many...
- i love love love working at starbucks! i thought i would be overwhelmed by nerves, but it was so much fun and i get free drinks and the people are so kind and interesting!
- update after my fourth day: i am indeed overwhelmed by nerves. haha soon it will all be second nature to me... but at the moment every correction bruises me, every harsh word from a short-tempered customer sears into me until i cannot stand. my coworkers are very kind to me though. i am so very indebted to them :)
- on a sadder note... i miss you, my sapphire-eyed one. there was so much between us that we left unsaid and now you are going to college. at graduation, when i finally found the courage to talk to you after so many months of silence, you looked so happy to see me, you complimented the song we sang, you captivated me like always. but then you had to leave, we parted with bright smiles. you walked away from me and towards the world. i could not see where i was going because i was blinded by shimmering tears. oh dearest, come back to me.
- i had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday :( i hate surgeries, this was my fourth in not even three years...
- i've been remembering lately how magical it was to wake up in paris. i would walk out onto the balcony, with coffee and a croissant or pain du chocolat, and breathe the french air and hear the french language and just oh my goodness. every day was like it sprung from a storybook. it was the perfect life. i will have it again one day! :)
- i have been daydreaming about how i will spend my first paycheck, hehe :) i think i will buy elizabeth kostova's the swan thieves
- i want to watch the swan princess! :)
