so symbolic

ive always really been struck by the line in the counting crows song that says:

i felt so symbolic yesterday.

for some reason i always notice that particular line. i just think its funny. it sounds so poetic, but then when you actually think about - you wonder what it actually means. although, i think poetically, i get it.

i had a really good day today. i hung out with peter, a friend in my masters program. but we didnt actually do school work, or really talk about school work. it was refreshing.

considering how cold it is, i spent way too much time outside today. at the end of the day, i went through great measures to avoid walking outside, including eating mcdonalds (baha) and taking the T to cleveland circle, and finding shelter until the bus. really kind of unnecessary but: it. was. really. cold.

im feeling very loved of late. every now and then i realize how great of friends i have. i have great friends in boston and i know that because i see them frequently. but i also have great friends in chicago (read: graham) who bought me space heater because he is wonderful. it arrived today and i am basking in the heat of it. i also talked to heather momentarily today. she was in the car with emily and marianna going to fredericksburg. lord knows i wish i was going to fredericksburg this weekend. anyway - i love those girls. i am so blessed. with amazing people to call my friends. i wish i could see everyone much more frequently. but, having them seems sufficient.

im really happy.
