Nothing Happens In This Post


It’s funny – we’re trying to go at a slow pace. But when I think back through these past few days, it’s just insane how much we’ve done. How is that “slow”? Maybe it’s just a testament to the ridiculously fast-paced city we come from. Even a moderately quick speed seems like a break.

But we are trying to take it slow. Right now, for example, we are laying on the bed in a very cute B&B in a lazy beach town (yes, they apparently have those – at least one) on the Southern coast. Ardmore, if you want to look it up. So we are doing things slowly. Don’t be food by what I am about to tell you.

But before I tell you about what we’ve done, let me tell you about one thing I got here that will probably make you laugh: a sun burn. It’s amazing! The sun was out for one day, and I got burnt. But here’s the funny thing: so did (it seems) everyone else in the country. My people! It’s funny. I feel like when I went to Cal for orientation and was finally around people who got as excited about academics/learning as I did. I thought, “It’s more than just me! I’m not alone! My people!” So too with getting a one-day sunburn. In California, people would hardly have noticed the  sun, but here  - I’m not alone! My people!!

Okay, no onto the activities. I don’t know how I’m going to organize them. . . I don’t want to skim over anything that was so much fun, but at the same time, I don’t want to be here for hours. This bed is super comfy.

So let’s just dive in and see how/where  it goes, shall we?

. . . Except. . . maybe another time. Like I said, this bed is really comfy. And we’re taking this trip slow, so I feel no guilt about climbing into it.

I'm a bit sorry to leave you hanging, but then again, the title did warn you. 

Night!
