Before School (a poem)

Getting dressed in the morning, it simplifies life.

Selecting an outfit causes me no strife.

I look at my closet and grab something plaid,

Or maybe my khakis, that’ll make me glad.

Then, I put on a white polo shirt,

It always complements the pleated plaid skirt.

If it's cold outside, I might take a jacket or sweater.

Come to think of it, a sweatshirt would be better.

Because I’m a senior, it can be navy OR green,

And that’s what’s it’s like in my uniform routine.

Living Life

Saying Sorry

Last Friday (18th): She baked a cake. "Sorry" was painted on it in yellow frosting-- then she presented it to me. It was a much better end to the week than the rest of that turbulent several days.

Making Me Laugh

Thursday, and frequently: You texted me about your involvement in badminton club. Later, you sent me a picture and a reference to our summer food obsessions. :) I always love getting updates from you like that!

Being Lazy

At school: We joked about how much we procrastinate, and all that darn time we waste. I'm really sorry for being so distracting! 

Having A Good Time (Again)

Friday: They came over to my house, somewhat unexpectedly. We ate cereal, looked up music, watched bad TV, and had a tremendously simple, fun afternoon.

Showing You Care

The other day: You spontaneously texted me about my friend whom you don't even really know. I love how thoughtful you are, and I always like talking to you. 

Looking At the Stars

Last night: You suddenly blurted out, "I just saw a shooting star." That made my day (as if everything else didn't, which is not accurate, haha). Thank you. :)

I really like this today:

Update.

I've been all over the place. But really I've been nowhere.

I like this one!

Well, I try not to. :)

I live multiple lives.

1. the older sister

2. the scholar

3. the problem-solver

4. the outdoorsy girl

5. the journal-keeper

6. the nice girlfriend

7. the can't-do-anything-right teenager

8. one-third of a tripod  

= me.

All things pass.
