i officially love summer in chapel hill. maybe because i'm in this strange place of stasis between school and my internship, holding onto the past with the future right around the corner. it's like i'm hanging in the air between two sides of a gorge--my feet have pushed off the ground behind me, and though i can see the other side, i haven't yet landed. and i sure am enjoying the view while i'm somewhere in the middle.
i also love it because my roomies are awesome, class stuff is relatively chill, hanging out with little babies for pay sure beats waitressing, i have time to workout, and i love living in a house in carrboro. it's nice to finally be in a house and off campus--it does make me feel a bit more like a grown up :) but carrboro really is great--this place really is a community. this morning my 2 former roommates and my 2 current roommates and i walked over to the weekly farmer's market in the town commons. it was the perfect day with just enough breeze--and plenty of cool stuff for sale (though i personally enjoyed people watching more than shopping). then we walked a little bit further down to weaver street and sat out on the lawn, watching children play & run, talking, and just generally enjoying the day. then we walked home through a neighborhood with great houses that were NOT all cookie cutter spit-outs. simply charming & a delightful place to spend at least these 2 months.
