saying goodbye

nostalgia is the worst feeling. i am nostalgic to distraction sometimes. i have such lovely hazy memories of summers past, of days that seem to stretch into nothingness, of wonderful warm days and people who seem more interesting than anyone you know in the present.

i never really think about these things except in summer, when I have too much to time to think and remember.

i made new friends this week. friends that do not go to yale and are not between the ages of 18-22, which seems to be the only demographic that I've seen for the past nine months. i met a really great new friend, hamzeh. and i've decided that i generally really like people. the only kinds of people i don't like are people who are very self-centered. not even the extreme of selfishness, but people who only think about their own feelings thoughts and opinions. generally they talk about themselves a lot and i find them terribly boring and want to throw up when i'm around them.

anyway hamzeh is great. he is exuberantly friendly and surprisingly good at reading people.
