Ever since I helped BoFo finish packing and helped ProHo move in a few days ago, my mind has been preoccupied with the notion of college. Back in March and April when we were just getting our college acceptance letters, college was still an abstract concept to me. Sure, I'll be moving out and "living" on my own, but that seemed ages away. After all, I still had a plethora of high school memories to make, from dreaded AP exams to Prom to Graduation and of course my big graduation trip to India. But now, all this is over, and what's left is the absence of two special people in my life, and many others who've already gone off to start the next saga in their life.
I'm excited and can't wait to start either. All the clothes I've been buying, books I've been reading, lists I've been making are my preparation for college. "I wonder if my roommate would want to borrow this scarf; I wonder if anybody else has read The Fountainhead, I wonder if three deep dish sized Tupperware will be enough for me to store food for next year." I feel like I've been preparing for my Move-In day ever since I got my college acceptance.
The last time sunnie and I went shopping, I even dragged her to Anthropologie and made her sit through my silliness as I posed with different cups trying to decide which would be the best late-night-hot-chocolate-sipping-keeping-my-hands-warm-as-I'm-studying-for-my-midterms mug. (We later settled on a homey looking wide-brimmed mug that has butterflies fluttering around the inside and out.)
On a tangent, I did get my permit a few days ago, so I'm excited to start the process of learning to drive. This surprises me, because up until I passed the test, I really wasn't interesting in driving. I've always felt pretty self sufficient with my bike, Cal Train and all. But now that I have the tedious written part of the way, I actually want to get behind the wheel. I suppose this is pretty late for me to learn, with my starting university in a few weeks and all, but I guess, better late than never. Now, I just have to when the earliest time I can sign up for driving classes will be...

I miss you Peiley.
If I had my way, I'd be "dragged to Anthropologie" with you every day. I don't know how you managed to make it sound like such a laborious task :]
It's Sunday! Wasn't that Row run just one week ago precisely?
It feels like forever...
I REALLY need to talk to you - I'm dying here! :P
Peiley!!!! I miss you, and can't wait to see you at NSO in a mere few weeks!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!! I'm also incredibly happy that you have decided to start a blog!!! "Every Simple Song" is DEFINITELY going on my blog roll! =)
Even though the start of school approaches with ever-increasing alacrity, I don't think the fact that COLLEGE is starting has really hit me yet. I accept the fact that I will be moving away, but my brain is still stuck on an image of it all being like just another summer vacation.
The Fountainhead = one of my favorite books EVER. Also, Anthropologie = completely overpriced, but still the most amazing store to ever come into existence. And as for driving, drive stick-shift. It's so much more fun. It makes me feel like a female Asian assassin with Batman-like powers.
