good morning! <3

this is a fabulous morning. yeah, sure there's no sunshine, but there's something so pleasant about the unexpected little things in life that can transform even the most mundane of situations. im currently sitting in the library on my computer, sipping this incredibly warming cup of matcha green tea, and secretly listening to the beautiful sounds the two french girls on the table over are whispering to each other. 

okay sure i sound like such a freaking creeper, but it's not like i understand anything they're saying anyway haha. but really, personally, its moments like these, when i am caught off guard by the complete sophistication and elegance of the french language, do i ache with sadness that i can't speak it. i absolutely adore the way the sounds seem to ebb and flow together, even with the sharp "s" sounds people make when they're speaking in a whisper. plus, as im eavesdropping, i spy familiar words i know, mostly from my favorite movie of all time. i have a feeling the only reason i adore french is because i adore this movie which is because i adore paris. in essence, i am an unofficial certified francophile. and i am determined to go to paris this fall while i am in london, (in the words of captain hook) "if it's the last thing i do!" 

speaking of paris, my adopted sister b came to visit me on campus yesterday (i really dont think she knows how wonderful her visit was for me; it'd been a while since ive spoken to somebody who gets me the way she does, and isnt afraid to joke with me openly about my retardednessnessness. she never seems to fail to make me happy) and we were sitting in the coffee shop blabbering away like idiots. coffee and friends, what more can you ask for? well, if we get our way, we will be able to be in europe together this fall! if only for a few days, just so we can visit all the cool little places around london and then make our way to the amazing apostrophe hotel! then i imagine we'll nosh on crepes and croissants and walk the champs-elysee and watch the eiffel light up at night... in london we'll run around places like topshop and jack wills and hang out in hyde park and have photo shoots in front of big ben all the while snacking on fish and chips... yes i am quite the dreamer, aren't i? whatever. i like to think of myself as a hopeful optimist. sometimes. :)
