HAPPY END OF THE WORLD

The day before, I got back from work and took a bike ride around the neighborhood listening to Yo La Tengo, I was so happy! Lately I've been thinking about college and just how much I'll miss the city and home. It's been a busy few weeks. I don't like the class I'm assisting, so many of them are just impatient or lack the willingness to do the work. I suppose my real complaint is that they lack passion for it. I'm glad I met Yesica though, one of the students, just a year younger than me. You can tell she's struggled a lot, there are only a few I've met that match in strength. Everything she does, she does with great deliberation.

Today I went to MoCA and got to know Eugene better on the subway ride back. He's really fun and often makes me laugh. We have very different temperments, it seems. He's much calmer than I am. Sometimes he'll just ask me if I'm alright, because I'll look nervous or worried, and that'll just be my natural state. We talked about relationships and agreed on many things. His relationship with his girlfriend is the reason that I'm so afraid to be in one. I can tell that he worries about it, but he seems able to keep it from affecting other areas of his life.

It's a rainy day and I'm listening to Yo La Tengo again.
