I love this time of the year, when the summer is just about to turn into fall - with cool mornings and warm afternoons.
It seems as though this summers end will not be anything like before. It started out yesterday with a wild bacholerette party - including an almost sixty year old man doing a strip dance (and I thought the most bizarre experiences in my life were behind me, but no). Then there will be a wedding in two weeks (Sigurd's brother is getting married!) and then I'm starting a semester in Lisbon.
Those days when I used to find a new sweater, skirt and notebooks for the first days of school are, however, coming to an end. Do you remember those? It gives me a slightly panicking feeling, since this is something I've done as long as I can remember. This will be my last year. It makes me happy, sad, confused but also relieved. And I realize that it doesn't make any sense to postpone adulthood any longer. You can't have cold feet from growing up.
It is a great feeling when you get all of your supplies ready for the first day of school. This is my last year in college and I'm a bit scared for what's going to happen next year.
ReplyDeleteBut you're right. We can't get cold feet now. =D
Here they say the weather cools after the 15th Aug…I'm not so sure about that!
ReplyDeleteI still hate that 'rentrée' feeling that happens every September, but for you it sounds very exciting. I am curious about Lisbon because I will be visiting that city 11-13 Sept! Perhaps a coffee?
definitely! I would love to finally meet the lady behind the camera!
DeleteAh I know the feeling you describe. I'm sort of done with college as I'm doing the rest through distance learning, i.e. I'll be going only to give my exams.
ReplyDeleteI love the last line so much. GROWING UP seems it bit overwhelming at the moment, though.
It's still getting hotter here, with temperatures about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (about 27 Celsius). Lisbon sounds exciting, and I'm sure it'll be an amazing semester!
ReplyDeleteI am well removed from my school days, and I still have dreams about starting a new school year. They're usually fairly anxious dreams, and I feel relief when I wake up and realize I don't have to if I don't want to! :) We're still very hot weather-wise here, but we've had an occasional cool-down, and I'm really enjoying it!
