The Peppermint House, or Living On Solared Time


I've been going to school for a long, long time. Ever since I was four years old, that makes it 23 years. So I've had a lot of first days at school. But this year I had a first day at a NEW school. I've only had 7 of those: preschool #1 taught by Mrs. Rhodes, preschool #2 the Peppermint House preschool, Shelley Elementary, American Fork Junior High, American Fork High School, the University of Utah, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and now #8: Rice University. It seems somewhat surreal to me that from here on out I will be primarily identified with Rice, why not the Peppermint Place? Maybe I should insist that they list Peppermint in my bio on english.rice.edu.

Also, I got a new wristwatch. And it's really quite strange how much I love it.

Congrats on your new first. Firsts are fun, and also hard (the unknown and lonely), but lasts are also hard (saying good bye and leaving the familiar).

I totally see what you mean. He shaved it now, and so we're decided what we're going to do for the 29th. I love you watch. Your profile still says you're from Chicago. Don't you ever change it, not 4ne1!!!!! I miss you, my wednesday campus boyfriend.
