pffffffft, post op: days 13 & 14

good news: recovery is going well. i have completed my final papers and will soon wash my hands of my crazy study abroad program. 

to write these papers in two days, i'd hotbox my car in the parking lot of the public library and then force myself to write until i was coming down enough to drive home. i also used a strategy of making dinner plans with a friend so i'd have a deadline for a full day of working on both papers. by the time it was time to pick him up, i had completed the entire first paper and outlined the second. his car's been having problems so i drove him around to run an errand, we got dinner, and then drove around backroads for half an hour or so shooting the shit and catching up. we're both itching to get out of town again though.

today i went on a couple longer drives for fun, a telltale sign that my summer's going on too long and i am feeling restless. i'm trying to spend more of my down time reading. hopefully sometime soon i can make a post reviewing the 10 books i've read so far this year (and that was my goal for the entire year! i got overwhelmed at the idea of a book a month so i played it too safe with 10).

other than that, i will be Around. bar crawls. backroads. so much seafood. summer bum. snoballs. don't let anyone expect anything out of u.
