It had just finished raining, on one late and very cold evening. Of course, the temperature drop was due to the weather, but it was already cold enough before the rain. A steady sound of footsteps could be heard by those in the vicinity, the soles of the shoes making a wet smacking sound, and as the figure turned, it sounded like a rock being scraped across concrete. The hooded figure was a girl, low in stature, and high in tension. As she exhaled she seemed quite like an angry dragon, steaming out of his nostrils. The hood covered most of her cropped hair, but black bangs crept outward. The sound of smacking made way for squishing as she went from concrete to cut grass, pools of water hidden beneath the bright green blades. A small park laid out before her, with no one in sight. The dragon exhaled loudly once more, then made way for the swing set. The seat was cold but the chains were colder, and she lazily went back in forth, a creaking sound piercing the otherwise silent night.

"Where have you been?" she whispered, the words floating away with the condensation.




-To be honest, I'm not sure why I haven't been writing at all....It's not that I'm preoccupied with anything, in fact, I'm really bored most of the time. I guess I'm feeling disconnected with certain things. I don't really want to talk about that though. Work has been good but busy. I am lucky to have been hired when I was, because I over heard my boss interviewing someone and said the starting wage was 8$/an hour (I started at 11.) Clearly I am lucky, but even more than that, I suppose she is running low on funds. Hopefully all of the summer students will decide to sign on for a contract during the year...it's interesting the relationship I feel between myself and these kids. There are only four students I don't like that much...they don't realize what their moms are paying for them to be here, but also it seems like they might not be disciplined that much either. They seem to find nothing wrong in distracting other students and it's hard for me to discipline them. I can't yell at them, but I don't want to have to, either. I remind them several times to focus, to calm down, to do their work, offer extra rewards, and nothing works at all...What's even better is that we went from four instructors, to two, and I am the one who always works the most. There is not really a problem with this personally, I am making a lot, but I don't find it fair that I have to work by myself all the time...

Today was the Children's Expo, sponsored by Bless the Beast, which is a no-kill pet adoption center/pound. And there was a person in a Scooby Doo costume, which was actually a very nice costume. I didn't go up to Scooby, but I saw him several times as I sat outside, watching little kids run around. We had people come up to us about information...I feel really shy when it comes to "selling the program" but I have to do it. I hope we benefit from the advertising we did today.

I feel like I need to really update what's going on in my life, but really...it's not much. I sleep, wake up, go to work, come home, chill out, get Adam (when his car is not working) come back home, chill out, shower, go to bed, repeat. Monday through Thursday. Fridays I am off unless I am going to Lake Charles, which by the way, I am going to Lake Charles this upcoming weekend, I am working though, in the mall. Tax free weekend. woo!

I am ready for school, though, because I am taking Chemistry this semester and I'm very excited for it. We start on the 24th, I think this is true for most of my friends, even though we go to different colleges. I hope Chemistry is as good as I am hoping it is....I hope Physics isn't as hard/suck as some make it sound...I hope that I am more responsible this semester.

Also, Korean food is the shit. I am getting healthy doses of it as I go to Lake Charles and I feel like I am in food heaven. What other foods are good? I need to know so I can try to find it and then eat it and be happy.
