It's been a crazy, hectic day here-class all day, chemistry lab, broken pH meters, wishing my sister goodbye, collecting forgotten pillows from the hotel...you know, the usual. And now, I get to settle in and rela-I mean...do homework.
I love days like this, though. It's gorgeous outside, the perfect temperature and the sun shining...turning everything in its wake crystal clear, hyper-vision. Trees are kissing the sky, grass ruffled by the breeze, frisbees are flying through the air. It feels like springtime.
Yesterday afternoon was almost as beautiful. And yesterday, I got to once again hang up my Eno and spend the day hanging out-you get it?-with my sister. "Hanging" out? I'm full of humor...laugh (or the blog police will find you). I have this huge, bright, neon yellow Eno, that, I'm sure if you tried to sleep in it, you couldn't...it would blind you. Sometimes I wrap myself up and flip over, and then the Eno kind of looks like a giant banana hanging in the tree (my sister's is a dark red, and so for some reason, she calls hers a plantain when she wraps it up. I don't know. I don't understand her.).
While we were hanging, and "hanging", and talking, and swinging, it was nice to take a moment and forget all my responsibilities...for just a moment. Sure, I have a bit of catching up to do now, and sure, my chemistry test still *hangs* in the near future (alright, alright, I'll quit with the puns), but for just the afternoon...it was peaceful.
It's weird to think there are only four more weeks of my freshman year of college...even weirder to think my sister will be a senior next year...both sisters, one graduating and one off to college the next year. It feels like I've done so much throughout the year, but at the same time, it's flown by. And I don't know if I'm ready for it to end yet.
I'm always afraid of time slipping away, of not getting to enjoy every minute of my experiences, especially here in college. But I spend so much time trying not to run out of time, that I forget to take breaks every once in a while. I'm always go, go, go-ing, trying to fit as many things into one day, one week, one semester...I get so caught up in everything I have to do, and I stress and I cram and I freak out.
So sometimes...I need to remind myself it doesn't have to be go-go-go. It can be a little bit of eno-eno-eno, too. I hope you have a moment to just stop, take a moment, take a break, go eno, or maybe pretend you are eno-ing, and get ready to face the week again. So have a great Monday, my Electric Apples. I know I'm trying to.
