how far do i have to go to get to you?

who knew grad school drama could rival college drama. and i speak not of theatre.

as i drove to grand rapids today, i longed for my camera. the trees that line I-196 are flaming into brilliant reds, oranges, yellows, even some purples. both trees in front of my apartment are beginning to turn, and the leaves that litter my front walk make a beautiful crunch. it looks like fall outside.
it does not feel like fall, however. the temperature has been close to 80* the last few days. the shining sun feels warm on my cheeks. the yells of children playing on the swings in my backyard as well as the sounds of laughter from their parents fill the air. it smells like bonfire.

this coming week wts celebrates midterms. it is hard to believe i have completed half a semester of seminary. i realize this isn't a huge amount - but enough to boggle my mind a bit. somehow, seminary seems easier than dordt. perhaps it is all the time not being occupied by theatre. i have time for homework, for re-watching all of the seasons of lost with my friend sarah, for movies, for friends, for non-theology reading, for sleep. it's a strangely normal schedule. it takes getting used to. but i am enjoying it.

i wish i could go to dordt for urinetown. i am sad to miss it.

in other news, the headaches seem to be returning. and they don't seem to be filled with any sort of grace or mercy.

I miss you a lot. And I wish I could be there to crunch leaves with you, maybe make a pile of them and lay in it like small children, watching the leaves fall. I saw Pants today, and it made me think of you. And our threesome in your bed. :(

(By the way, yes I DID totally forget about your blog until just now. AND I forgot about my own until just now. SOOO... now you'll have some new reading occasionally. :D )
