I've got a strong craving for a warm summer night with a cool breeze. For a million stars, planets, and satellites, and just the right amount of shooting stars. Because I have a lot of wishes to make. For the sun to shine it's warmth on me and envelop me. For the lazy way the days seem to stretch before you. For the sounds of laughter to float towards me.

I've never anticipated the summer so much. But right now, I really just want this semester to end and for summer to surprise me.

So tired...

Happiness runs in a circular motion...

Situation Number four
The one that left you wanting more
Tantalized you with its bait

SO...

There's been a lot on my mind the last few days. Make that weeks. And what a great series of weeks they've been. I finally had a long overdue road trip through California, and got to enjoy the beaches and the gorgeous weather along the way. As well as some pretty good company. Make that pretty great. And the rain...it was more refreshing than I thought it would be.

My grandmother's house, my aunt's, and Bosch feel more like home than this house does. Which is a kinda odd feeling. I always hate leaving California, I seriously think at some point in my life I need to live on the West Coast. At least for a while.

I'm not looking forward to this semester. Or the next few for that matter. Am I in the right place? Dory is trying to steal me away for a year, and I am seriously considering it. It could be a reinvigorating break. And would give me the opportunity to learn a lot. We'll see.

The biggest reason why winter break was so amazingly awesome is because of the people. My dad's family is crazy and I love it. Even when we go to visit random people who I've never met before in my life, it's great. The love and support is amazing. Speaking of love...I am overwhelmed by the amount of love I have for people. I met some truly amazing people over break, even if I did only spend a few hours with them. Unbelievable! And I got to see more than a couple of people who I love and adore more than anything. My heart was bursting with happiness.

So, now I'm left with more than a few memories of laughter and joy, new friends, increased card skills, a bigger appreciation for Persian music, a fair amount of pictures, a bruise over my eye that is still tender, and a heart that's left behind a couple more, and bigger, pieces. Not too shabby.
