sidewalksparkleI thought I was going to go see Lost in Translation tonight with some people, but I guess it's not happening...(?)
Right now, I want a summer night, complete with a thunderstorm. I would like to have moved into a country house with white wooden siding and hard-wood floors in time for this event, so I could sit on a big wrap-around porch in a swing, a few feet away from the noisy rain, eating raspberry sorbet and drinking lemonade and laughing with my friends. The sky would clear in the middle of the night, but it the air would be cool the next morning. I'd drive to the airport and sit waiting for my flight to somewhere with a bagel and a magazine.
I was so happy last night. It's carried over into today.
I bought some tan cargo pants at Target when I went there with my mom this afternoon. They're really soft and baggy and unlike the pairs of pants I usually wear.
Tomorrow, my parents and I are going to the Earlham campus. I'm staying in the dorms with an unknown person; I am really nervous about this, but excited to experience life in an Earlham dorm firsthand. (I didn't sign up to stay in the dorm for my Kenyon or Northwestern trips, because the Kenyon trip was just my dad and me and we were going to get to Ohio pretty late at night and the Northwestern trip doubled as Evanston/Chicago sight-seeing time, since we lived in Evanston for the first three years of my life minus the first eight or nine months). I got the itinerary of the Earlham trip in the mail, and it seems like it's going to be really interesting. I get to sign up to sit in on classes, take a tour, hear a couple speakers, eat lunch with faculty, etc. After this, my only remaining college trip will be an official tour of the IU campus in Bloomington. (I've been to Bloomington briefly, but never to talk to anybody about specific college stuff or to take a campus tour.)
I'm trying to get as much done as possible before 11:30 so I can watch Saturday Night Live in peace. Getting "as much done as possible" technically involves leaving the Internet for the Calculus book and the duffle bag and Faulkner as Surrealist article. I wish I was at the movies.
