Barely familiar songs reverberating in the silences between thoughts, each sunset's fading glow tracing a slowly shifting square of brilliant orange across the far wall, the dry chill that stripped the leaves from trees, nights spent in camaraderie of the simplest kind, classes demanding yet rewarding -- is this really any different? But I'd not miss it for anything.

Bizarrely enough, Granville's cafeteria was serving raw oysters today, but what's even more confusing is that I decided to eat a few. They were kind of slimy, tasteless and insubstantial, and THEY'RE IN MY STOMACH OH GOD

I've now got an Army of Darkness poster on my far wall, courtesy of Sam, in addition to the Rasterbated scanning electron microscope image of an ant which covers nine sheets of paper over my bed. So far, this room's post-roommate Renaissance is proceeding splendidly.
I've been having second thoughts about switching to on-campus dorms come fall. 6th floor South's been great recently and I'm starting to think I'd genuinely miss everyone. However, I've also begun to notice that females have no monopoly on nasty backbiting.

Earlier tonight I was across the hall watching Batman Begins when Audrey walked past the open door, and I started to say hi and then saw Amy and about died of astonishment. The three of us talked for hours, and they left ridiculously late, naturally. It's so fun when old friends show up unexpectedly -- Erica dropped in with Elie last week.

I should be in bed. Everything has been working out so far, but sooner or later I'll have to develop a work ethic that involves more sleep. Classes are beginning to get interesting; none of them will be as complete a waste of time as was General Anthropology last semester.

An orange sunset and the spent storm's scent are entering my open dorm window, a novelty since such sensualities were once regularly occluded by my room-mate's heaps of unwashed clothes and the accompanying odor respectively, both of which have permanently departed the premises along with said room-mate. In contrast to his newly denuded half of the room, my half is now filled, partly with newly acquired items, and partly with the old ones I should have brought here in the beginning.
I moved back in on Monday night, bought books yesterday and began classes today. UNC suddenly feels smaller -- I've spent most of the day encountering friends at random.

For the record, I was with Hannah and Diana at the year's end, and some days later got slightly drunk at Trevor's in the company of Jacob and Delia, and lunched with Erica last week and Michael today, and a half-dozen hours ago went for coffee with Hannah and the previously unmet Christine.
Winter break ends tonight, and tomorrow I return to the present.
