Sleeeeeeepy

A month or so from now I'll be mad at myself for not sleeping during the summer when I had the chance. Strange that when I do have the option to sleep, I opt not to. I don't understand. This summer I think I'll blame *Roxy* for it because she kept me up so stinkin' late so many times while I was in Cali. So, Becca, I dedicate this quote to you:

Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up. ~Ellen Goodman

:) How true it is!!

Kathryn's (my roomie who owns the house) parents are arriving tomorrow from Atlanta and her dad has not seen her house before, so he will be shown every room. Sooo...that means a lot of cleaning....sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, basic tidying and such. My room has been a mess since I returned from Peru and attempted to do laundry (I was mostly successful, just didn't get to my last few loads). It looks a lot better now, though I still have a little work to do. I have a wood floor with a big rug in the middle, and when my good friend Kenda came in today, she said (in all seriousness), "I didn't know you had a rug!"...kinda sad because it really would be hard to miss.

I had coffee tonight with a new friend. She just graduated from Baylor with a degree in Spanish but, as I found out tonight, she started out as a linguistics major. It was helpful to hear her thoughts on it all, since she's experienced life with both majors (two of the majors in the running for me right now--I'll declare a major within the next year). This same friend grew up in the Texas Ashram (the California Ashram played a huge role in my life growing up)...I've never before met someone who was even familiar with Ashram outside the Ashram context, so that was a fun discovery!

The French at the end of the last post was just random enough I "had" to include it: "Your frog ate my lunch" and then, essentially, "Long live Peru!" :) Au revouir et bonsoir.
