why did summer go so quickly; was it someting that I said

Like the eponymous character of Marcel Ayme's short story, "Les Sabines," I would like nothing more than to be able to duplicate myself at a moment's notice and have my identical sisters, sharing one consciousness, live out all of the scenarios and play all their respective personas. No one's ever just one person-there are so many facets of a personality yet never enough time to really polish and display every side at once. Put much more simply, there are too many things I want to do, but I just don't have the energy to play out all these parts.

Sometimes I really don't quite know why I made the choices that I have (*cough* college */cough*) And that's OK, I guess. My problem is that I tend to come up with too many supporting and detracting points for each side that the arithmetic of persuasion cancels out to nothing; it is lucky or mysteriously convenient, then, that I've gotten really good at rationalizing my actions and judgements. I'm neither terribly happy or unhappy about my decision; I figure once I get to campus I'll find some quirky subculture or three in which to entrench myself.

I only get this pretentiously cryptic when I'm really sleep deprived, as I am right now.

I've come to the conclusion that I don't really have enough hot weather clothes as I donated a lot of my old T-shirts and such a few weeks ago as they're too small now. How hot is it usually in LA in the fall?

I must confess I've been surprised by how cool it is in the mornings and in the evening. It really is quite pleasant, although I think Northern California still wins out by a bit.

Well, that is how we experience "cold" here. I actually like this phenomenon, as it provides some meteorological variety that might otherwise be lacking.

Enjoy your first week of classes! And say hi to the old Alma Mater for me.

Thanks! I'll be happy to do so :)
