Day Two
Hundred and Forty: Back in Black
Remember
going back to school after the summer in a pair of new Phat Farms and a jean
skirt from Stitches which you just learned the year before was cool and it was
the first thing you bought on your own at the mall and you had this outfit
planned for weeks? Maybe your first day
of seventh grade was a bit different, but mine was just that. My little brother is entering the seventh
grade this coming Tuesday, and it really seems like so long ago that I wore
those skateboarding shoes, dreaded looking for my teacher, and entering a
classroom completely different from those I had known. I no longer have a locker, but it never
ceases to get to me how nostalgic this time of the year is.
And then I
remember how nostalgic every time of the year is for me and move on, so…
How can it
be so hot? I remember only a week ago we
were all in pants, long sleeves even, and now I can’t even properly dress my
bed because I will actually die of heat in my sleep if I do. I understand that it’s August still, summer
for some, but it’s time for my back to school clothes, okay? I want to take out my metaphorical phat
farms, not wear flip flops wherever I go not to necessarily look cool but for
the comfort. This heat needs to
dissipate immediately, or atleast by the time I start my fitness classes. Nothing bums me out more than trying to work
out, do school work, and dress in nice boots to bars like looking outside and
finding it’s still so beautiful out. Oh
boo hoo, it’s such beautiful weather, maybe it’s because now I cannot enjoy it
as much, but I still feel a little bitter.
I think it’s
Wednesday night, but it feels like a Saturday.
One of those Saturday nights that you opt out of having any plans just
so you can spend some time to yourself.
As if I hadn’t watched enough Netflix this summer, I continue to on my
proper screen now on my desk in my room in Guelph. I miss home already… I can’t believe I was so ready to leave. You don’t realise how much you need your
family until you’re away from them, but atleast I can text them now…
