Last night was the last huzzah before seriously starting to crack down for exams. I didn't listen to my body and pushed the limits, ending up with my head out the window next to a really calm earwig. I couldn't talk, but my brain was going a million miles an hour. I remember thinking how much I hated earwigs, but couldn't move because I felt like throwing up. This earwig was so chill, though. He didn't move, we just laid there together. I did end up throwing up though, and all I could think about was how in biochemistry we learned about what your body produces more of when you vomit, and also in physiology about the peristalsis movement that allows you to be able to throw up. I wanted to say all this, but I was kind of busy. It was a bad high overall, I should have taken it easy.
Galati was meh. My grandma fed me a lot, but the train rides were terrible. Highlight of the trip was when we were called in after four hours of waiting outside to apply for the Romanian type of ID and I was accused of being two different people. [my birth certificate says only "Anda" but everything else like my passport says "Anda Maria" LOL.]
aaaaand here is what I do at coffee shops instead of studying:
hello hello, love.
me-
tiny cups of cappuccinos,
bobby pins warmed by shining sun
sitting directly under it,
lukewarm arms, dangerously hot BlackBerry
comfortably, warmly, numb.
ocean-
cold.
dark.
dangerous.
vast.
dangerously, dangerously unknown.
you-
hello hello, love.
tiny ears, fluttering heart
sloppy ponytails, sloppy emotions.
doubt, uncertainty, overflowing feelings
like fizzy, warm beer.
too gross to drink, but why waste?
uncomfortably numb, comfortably numb.
hello hello, love.
there isn't much of a difference between us and the ocean, after all.
xox,
loveacrosstheocean.
