collecting memories


it's the last few minutes of class for this semester, wow. 

moments. i think those are important. there are just these peaks in life that i will remember. and it doesn't even need to be huge life changing moments. just little periods of time, that everything feels okay. 

with chummy. and the awkward fan.

with rachel. under the stars, stopping on a random road near home.

with the sister. at a waterfall somewhere in australia.

with clare. waiting for the train at armitage and being really cold (clare says hi. she's weird, she says"i think ting is bootiful. as in b-o-o-t-i-f-u-l") she's actually walking out of class now and i'm not going to see her for a month which makes me sad

with liv, on a park bench, with peet's in hand. and having a conversation about movies. and about how i shouldnt be pouring milk in tea because it's like pouring milk into water.

with liv, giving me a hug when we parted for winter break.

with ryan, listening to music.

with gracia. facetiming, while i was in the lounge.

with mum. and dad. parting at the lobby of 162. mum was crying. dad shoved me through the doors.

with joanie. conversations by the kitchen stove.

watching joseph run through a bunch of trees that formed a sort of runway.

with tricia. sitting on top of one of the buildings at navy pier, freezing our butts off after a run in the cold.

with jon. sitting at the steps of starvista after service.

with drew. by a fountain in orchard road. i was eating mash potatoes from kfc. he talked about some environmentally friendly farm.

with claire. on the ugly purple couches at sharp talking about things that mattered to us.

the lake.

a hug from courtney on sunday, "merry christmas," she said as i made my way out. i turned and smiled.

watching the dimsum being served to our table yesterday. we ordered so so much. we ate it all though.

dance party with hope, sonia and joseph in my room, with mattresses pulled onto the floor, and ice-cream as fuel.

falling asleep to bon iver, and good conversation over a huge meal at wildberry.

i predict that pho tonight will be another of those moments.

it's been a good semester, a good year. i'm thankful.
