The most triumphant feeling: taking off your jacket because it is too hot outside to wear one.

The most annoying pain: having a (pretty big) cut inside your nostril. It is excruciating.




I return to Austin tomorrow. I never like to stay in one place too long - I'm always getting away for little bits. This semester I've already been to Toronto and L.A., and I want to go to NYC if possible. Returning to Texas is like being a small-time celebrity: everyone wants to see you because you're rarely around, and they know who you are, but not quite, anymore.

Maybe I'm just nervous they're gonna discuss if I got fat or not. That's why the celebrity metaphor makes sense to me.
