Aug. 20th, 2006 05:44 pmWe just got back from a bike ride. We rode to the community garden and picked flowers and peppers in exchange for a little weed-pulling, and then we rode home with a rain storm threatening. It's getting darker and darker outside, and I'm waiting for it to finally just burst.
Last night we saw "The Notorious Betty Page" at a theater on the Dartmouth campus. Beforehand, we read in the coffee shop for a couple of hours, hung out in the big ol' campus bookstore, and walked to the science building to watch the pendulum. We had Thai for dinner and Ben and Jerry's for dessert (it had been ages since I had had ice cream...oh Brickley's, how I miss you!) It was pretty much the perfect afternoon/evening. I really enjoyed being on campus - I'm going to miss that feeling this fall (even though I will still be going "back to school", in a sense!) Ryan and I were talking about how he doesn't feel that sense of anxiety and vague dread when autumn comes anymore, because there's no school for him. I was thinking that as long as I work in a school, I'll always (get to) have that anxious/excited feeling, every fall. I think that just may keep me young in some way, even if it is kind of a stressful feeling. ;) My Augusts will always be bittersweet, but my Septembers and Octobers will be exciting and beautiful and deep and mysterious in that uniquely autumnal way. I can't wait for autumn, even though I love and will miss summer.
