My ringtone for the summer has been Lady Gaga’s ”Summerboy” for obvious reasons that I do not wish to disclose, it may involve a person of the male species. I have been laptopless for the past two months since I disabled mine the week before finals, let us just say that binder clips and lcd screens are dangerous when forced into a close embrace with the other. Lesson learned.
So what have you been up to this summer? I am at a loss for this is the first summer I am not living at home in my native Virginia, and oh I miss the city. D.C. you know I love you though I am having a summer affair with W. La! I suppose I should write some reflections on the summer, however I feel I am behind the curves when it come to life lessons, particularly in the ways of that ever popular four letter word that begins with an L. So I am in summer school and I wish we had textbooks because ma cheries, it is rocket science and it is not black and white, but many shades of gray.
Apart from working as a conference staff at the University I have been nannying my professor’s daughters, which has been entertaining and heartwarming. I miss the city because there is a distance from the world within this university, where I see the Iranian uproar on the television screen, and I hear the threats of North Korea through lipsticked mouths. This is our world we are NOT the future, we ARE the present. This is OUR world. As we can see the lazy summer will not last forever and we have to work to keep times peace. It is a time to educate ourselves and take responsibility.
I have to run. I shall try to post soon. Have a beautiful summer!
