done thus far

Summer always finds me with a kind of languid melancholy
in Australia November marks the onset of summer
and with exams over and done with
I find myself spending whole afternoons lying in bed absorbed
in the rotations of my ceiling fan
or in the kitchen reading the paper against the
familiar humming of the refrigerator.

...It's not to say my days have been completely unproductive
but as the thermostat rises so does my "Meh." Factor
why put on pants when you know you don't have to go to work?
why make breakfast when there is a bottle of apple juice in the fridge?

for once I am enjoying my slow regression into the teenage slob that I secretly am
because I know the final semester is going to be a bitch
so I'm planning to absorb as much sun, frivolity and quiet afternoons by myself
as I can (will also write up my mega to do list as well!)

Hope November is treating you kindly internet
(and/or the other people who read my blog)
