things to write about:
– the first snow
– losing Ginger
– going to France in the spring
– the leaves are gone on my tree
– my room smells like Christmas, candles on my windowsill
– a fireplace, a lit up tree, a blanket, and a boyfriend
– engagement rings (engagements?)
–  the end of the semester

but first:

two 10 page papers, a 5 page paper, a 10 minute presentation, and three finals.

a flight home

a chance to breathe
