fall is definitely approaching. I felt it today, if not in the air, certainly in my bones. much less time has just passed than I felt, and I just sat in my kitchen not getting any work done. I got another new roll of film developed this evening and had a brief conversation with an old friend while waiting. thinking of her as an "old" friend feels strange, seeing as we've only known each other since freshman year of high school, but as far as friends that I still keep in touch with goes, she's one of the longest-running.
I talked to my mom for half an hour this afternoon. these connections to home are few, but they're strong. strong enough for me to not want to go home ever again, yet I feel certain I'll still have them. I don't really know why I am thinking about all of this now, it feels appropriate though. I don't know if I am going to go home this summer. I don't really have any goals in staying in baltimore, other than maybe taking a class and hopefully getting an internship. I get a very suffocating feeling whenever I think about spending another three months in the lehigh valley.
