you know, it'd be so darn scary if a rat was living in my closet. sometimes i hear noises when i come back during breaks. i'm always afraid to open the closet at night. i'm in no hopes for a rat ready to jump into my arms. i'm not catching anything. i turned off the lights tonight, turned on some paper lanterns, clicked on some side lamps, and lit a sweet pea scented candle. i love dim-lighted settings a lot because it's when the world's quiet and all i have in front of me is peace and... my sociology book. i'm really excited for the springtime. all the pastel colors, floral dresses, fresh air, and ideas of open space excite me more than ever! i can picture so many future fun arts and crafts projects for spring and summer. right now i'm just thinking about how the year has continually flown by with the blink of an eye. honestly, senior year didn't even move half as fast as the first year of college. it's neat how things gradually happen overtime when you least expect surprises, joy, and bliss. when i remind myself that i'm in no hurry, the good things in life await for me to crawl towards the gems slowly. so the feeling of being content settles. this summer is going to be a great one. my family and i are going to start a full-on garden project and renovate our home furnishing and decorations. it feels nice to be back home with my loved ones this spring break. this eventful week is going to involve lots of studying, coffee time, downtown exploration, art, and old friends. the truth? i've missed the bay.
