the year so far.

january - india: night drives through villages and forest in search of leopards. kanha tiger reserve. street cricket. home-made food. moonlit weddings.
february -  i found myself. brilliant independence. turkish restaurant. thoreau. into thin air. yoga. running. such peace. such happiness. such solitude. lemon with water.
march - towards the end of the month things started going downhill but i never let myself go. and i regained my happiness in other ways. outdoor running. dom ter. fire breathers. 
april - yogurt and blackberries by the river. art. drawing. coloring. painting. pittsburgh for break. affirmation. golden eyeshadow. tan skin. family dinners. gardening. pure happiness.
may - gladiators. sandals. and a soundtrack. somogyi konyvtar. the taste of cold mint-chocolate-chip gelato. the wine festival. neuroanatomy. and then exams. spar shopping trips. hummus and bread and ice cream and cereal bars. 
june - the end of a year. in one way. the beginning in another. movies and the library. jekyll and hyde. tennis and bobby kennedy. a new moleskine. the arrival of a friend.
july- the deterioration of my skin. yes. the month revolved around this. around not wanting to leave the house. around dermatologist appointments. all-round an awful month. the departure of a friend.
august - banff. alaska. denali. a cruise. three weeks. and then home. then the summer ended and i said goodbye to what was not the best summer but not the worst either. denali made up for it. i will return i promise. to buy an alaskan husky. to work at denali's rescue center. i will, i will.
september - the start of a year. classes and more classes. mid term tests. the library. and nothing more. 
october - the loss of independence in some ways. i lost a friend. made another. october break: a brilliant time in prague. 
november - you have only arrived.
