Given my poor timing and my busy schedule lately, I imagine this blog might disappoint some, but I don’t have much to say tonight, except that all of a sudden, I really very desperately want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Not crunchy peanut butter, and definitely grape jelly. And a pepsi, in the can.
In three weeks, I will leave for England. I have been blessed beyond all of my expectations as far as this trip is concerned. God never left me in need of anything for long, before it was provided in some way or another. My financial aid package fell into place, and thanks to my brother-in-law, I have a laptop! Work has been great; I’ve felt productive and I’ve been learning a lot. Also, last week, I got to see the ocean. There is something about the ocean and waves and salt water and breeze that is very good for me on the inside, I think.
I miss writing. I hope to visit this blank blogger canvas more often over the next few weeks, so that I can get it good and oiled up again before England. Goodness knows I’ll need it then.
I’ve recently been listening to the new Joanna Newsom almost nonstop — “Only Skin” in particular. But also: the song “Beloved” by Minnie Driver, the “Wildflowers” album by Tom Petty, The Black Keys (thanks, Troy, for inadvertently leaving that in my car…), and the Cold War Kids. You should, too.
Whoever you may be, chances are I need to see you before I leave. Keep in touch.
