august to august.

this morning i took a picture of myself. because people still do that on the first day of school when they're twenty-three, it's normal. anyway, after taking it, i wondered if i performed this picture ritual last year. i so did. the photo on the left was taken exactly a year and a day ago! ah. i'm swimming in all of the differences over here and it's making me sentimental. i can't believe the first picture was taken in the room i recently moved out of. or that the girl on the left did not have a clue how stressful a class on jack kerouac could be...amongst many other things. a part of me wants to go back and change a few things about the past year, but then there's the tiniest part of me that knows i wouldn't be where or who i am right now if i did. and that simply wouldn't do. i should mention, i'm happy i haven't lost my love for sporting wacky floral prints to school.;)
