bonjour/au revoir

these keys feel funny. like winter clothes after the summer. material touching your legs. it's all very strange. so here I am, in my winter clothes, pressing the keys. yes, here i am.

saying googbye is mostly always hard. some people love saying goodbye to university, i, for one, am not one of those. i feel like just when i started getting it, really playing the part, becoming more confident in my thoughts and in my written words, it's over. my last day of classes was odd and hard. apparently it showed, one of my favourite professors asked si j'ai passe une nuit blanche? mais non, i responded, je me suis endormi a dix heures. he said sorry. i wanted to tell him quickly that i was sad to leave him, but i couldn't think of the words and was too busy blushing about how he thought i looked like a nuit blanche. i have blushed at every word he has said to me all year, all of the years, why would i have stopped then. now that the last day is over, holidays don't seem so foreign. no, we are re-aquainting ourselves well. christmas time is nearing. the best time is nearing. i love christmas. so far i have baked cinnamon shortbread and chocolate gingerbread cookies. yum. more to come. as for tonight, the sheets are calling. tomorrow i'll be up before the sun, pulling shots for the masses and for me.

bonne nuit. it was nice to feel these keys again. i'll be back again soon.
