oh ice cream man outside my window



why must you taunt me so? no matter how much i crank up the volume on the tv, i can still hear those tiny, tinkling bells. even when i put my headphones on, there's a distant echo of melodic bells. maybe i'm just going crazy. if i am, i blame you, campus ice cream truck. you will be the ruin of me.

in other news, ITS GLORIOUS OUTSIDE. corrie and dee introduced me to the 'secret garden' on campus- totally secluded, shady, colorful, the most lush grass ever- all the good stuff. for anyone who thinks north philadelphia is just dirty streets and sagging slums. . . you're basically right. BUT! there are gems like this around too. i love temple. good choice senior-self. pat on the back.

i've been applying for jobs like a crazy person.
so far i've applied to:
-spice restaurant
-mangia qui restaurant
-felicita resort (banquet server)
-carlisle country club
-blue mountain country club

that list doesn' t look as impressive as i had imagined. but still. it seems like a hell of a lot. LET THE SAGA CONTINUE.

only:
-3 more papers (journalism, film, and mosaic)
-1 piano piece
-4 finals
away from being back in the sweet 717! where i shall spend my days working and my nights on the backporch, belly full of grilled meat and fresh tomatoes, watching the blue ridge mountains among sleepy, laughing friends. there's no place like home, homie.
