friday- hot as hell. discovered the band summer camp; KILLER. came home to find no internet. odd. realize that the power had gone out. subsequently threw out all of the food in my fridge and high-tailed it to imani's for a sleepover and some awesome e! tv.
saturday- walked back home; felt kind of spectacular. listened to summer camp while i exercised. took a trip to cvs to buy sustanance- froot loops and arnold palmer. ran & did pilates. saw harry potter pt. 2 and cried until i had released every ounce of stress in my body. i love snape. snuck into the foundation to recover imani's shoes. came home and skyped.
sunday- woke up late; glorious. kind of gray outside. walked to d'angelo's and got fixings for a real meal, how grown up of me. saw OFRY as he drove past, yay friends. talked to the g-ma. watched "he died with a falafel in his hand." pretty decent. got my ass kicked by pilates.
today kicked off the new director's meeting. i feel so honored to be among such highly esteemed individuals who have put faith into their passion; youth driven service. i feel like it's the perfect ending to my summer as a bonner foundation intern. we began with our peers at sli, built up our skills over the course of the last two months, and finish off with what could be our future. each day i realize just how much i've loved living here in princeton. despite being terribly homesick some weeks, the moments laughing until i cried over someone slipping the "r" word, yelling at mario for being the annoying little brother, having girl talk with kelly and imani, and seeing parts of other people's bodies that i should probably never see have made me grow. i keep coming back to that same word, don't i? i thought seeing gretchen, dr. j, and patrick today would make me feel like i had come home, but i realized that i already was.
