Break on Through

I spent a lot of time alone today...saw a movie and read at Starbucks. I enjoy the alone time though, a foreign concept to most of my socially active peers. I like the time to think and be independent, without anyone to dictate where to go or what to do; if I'm alone it's all up to me. A break from the hectic is nice.

Yesterday I spent time with some new friends; shopped around Laguna and San Juan with said new friends and Tyler. I bought another turquoise ring to add to my collection...this one's bigger and more dramatic, though. It was a nice afternoon, we got to engage in some intelligent conversation which I'm not really used to. Not to say my friends aren't intelligent, but we usually spend our time rambling about nothing and making silly jokes, which I enjoy as well. But it was a good change of pace.



I have a lot to do still, this day wasn't as productive as it should have been. Homework galore to finish before I leave for Portland tomorrow evening...which reminds me that I also need to pack. I'm anticipating the cold weather Portlanders are expecting for this week, I haven't experienced a cold day in what seems like centuries.





The debut of my blog was the effect of a sudden burst of inspiration...I'm hoping this bout will stick around longer than they usually do, I have too many drawings and journals and photographs left abandoned. I have to remember to take along a sketchbook on my Oregon trip...plain rides (especially of the solitary variety) always spark some sort of creative energy. Something about staring out the window and listening to good folk music and being thousands of feet in the air. Looking forward to it.
