Ode to Buildings

You know that feeling when it's about to snow? The feeling that comes on where even though your toes are cold, you're warm. Sounds hang in the air longer and smells stay to play for just a little bit more.

It's one of those days.

I stayed up late last night working on my Linguistics project. I finished it this morning and although it is not the best is could be, I am satisfied. Mostly because I am finished, but I did learn a lot. I feel so much like this huge burden has been lifted. After work today I will finish my Gospel Narratives Take Home Exam and then I will be done with everything. I get to catch up with Monica tonight-Oh, how I miss her in my life.

Recently, I've wanted to paint. But not paint with anything I have here. I have brushes, books, paper, paints sure.. But I want to paint a wall, a building. Something big. Something with a big brush where I can get my hands dirty and it doesn't matter. I miss that a lot about High School. being able to paint walls and huge canvases for projects. now, being in my dorm room, I've been confined to books and paper. I want a wall, a building, a person even! Something big. Something different. My emotions spill so far over paper and canvas these days that I need a building to capture them.
