Use it or lose it
well, it’s taken less than a week for Maddy and i to get back into our Vancouver routine. the weather, the apartment, and the boyfriend, are all almost exactly as we left them (rainy, cozy, cute). making it feel like we haven’t really been gone at all… in fact, things are so dreadfully familiar, i can’t think of a single thing to write about.
i mean, there’s no way you really want to read about how Maddy has the runs as she adjusts back to a high-protien* diet. and why on earth would you want details of the irritating throat infection that has me curled up with the intewebs in bed this morning? and you don’t really want to hear how fascinated i (still) am with the Planet Earth HD DVD series. or how i made banana muffins the other day just because i wanted the smell. i also don’t think i need to babble about packing plans for Nevis (for at least another month) or the (three!) new plastic film cameras i bought.
see? not a thing to write about…
if i was brutally honest with myself, i would admit that i should take a break from writing and spare you from this random boringness. but (and there’s always a but when being Brutally Honest), i am well aware that in less than two months the ONLY thing i’m going to have to write about is school. and i guess i want to get as much of my Last Summer of Freedom down for posterity as possible. i may need something to read to cheer me up when feeling particularly overwhelmed. plus, writing is definitely a skill you lose if you don’t use.
did you catch that? in less than two months i’m going to be in med school. holy freaking crap. i think it’s starting to sink in…
must stop thinking about it before i totally wig out. which makes this The End of this post because my brain has just shut down completely. mmm – banana muffins.

What kind of dog is Maddy, and where does one acquire such an adorable looking dog? :D
