English Papers

This picture is representation of I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH! from my sister. 

It's 9:24 on a Tuesday night. I am sitting here in my room that is still just a little too warm from the heat of the day, correcting my sister's english paper, and thinking to myself... have I done this before? 

You know how somethings change, and other things really don't? I have corrected dozens of papers for my sister, but the reason it strikes me tonight, is that we are both in college now. It's almost a ritual that I don't think about we've been doing it for so long. It doesn't strike me as strange that I would correct my sister's paper from over 1000 miles away, which is kind of strange. 

My sister started a blog. Blogs are this fascinating way of communicating with other people without really communicating with other people. So I guess she's close, and yet, she's far. Surreal. 

But back to the point (if I even had one) is that by correcting my sister's paper, however ridiculous that might be, I feel closer to her, and I stay connected, which makes me happy. So I just thought that I would share that.

Tomatoes, Bike Chains and Catching Up

I haven't posted in awhile... Sitting here thinking about it, I don't know exactly why that is. It's not as though I haven't had the 15 or 20 minutes it takes to sit down and write a blog post. It's not as though I haven't been intrigued, interesting, or even inspired by the things going on around me. I honestly think that it's because I am being lazy. I don't really like thinking that I am lazy person, so I decided to write a post. 

Quick update on my life. I got back from New York, which was an awesome trip. I moved into my apartment in LA, went back home for my Dad's marathon of a wedding, and then came back and started classes. All in all, things are good. I am playing ultimate, directing theater projects, and attempting to learn something new everyday. 

Today, for example, I learned how to clean a bicycle chain by having a conversation in spanish with the guy at the bike shop. I learned that I really need to work on my spanish verb conjugation, because although I can be understood, I sound like a kindergardener. I learned that despite hating them in my youth, and having just a liking for them later, I really do love tomatoes now. I guess taste buds really do change. Cool. 

Tomorrow is practice for Hellions, and Sunday is practice for Inferno... and I am sure I am going to use that as an excuse to procrastinate on writing my papers. But, if I procrastinate enough, maybe I will post again.
