how long till my soul gets it right

i just burned my tongue on my soup.
and
i wore long sleeves to a party last night.
and
i have invested in tons of chapstick.
and
cough drops.
and
i open my window instead of turning on the air conditioning.

all of these events must mean one thing: fall.
and with fall comes crunching leaves and changing weather and nostaliga and hot chocolate and layered clothing and new music moods and a lack of flip flops and taking a deep breath and meeting new people.

theres this quote that i wrote down and taped to my desk:

"in the depths of winter I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."

all i can be is me whoever that is.

as i type this, i'm falling in love with the I'm Not There soundtrack. its the bands I like anyway singing really great bob dylan songs. not all of them are great and some combinations are a little weird. i feel a little like a tool cause i havent actually seen the movie yet, but for now, its quite lovely.
i'm having trouble being a good student here. and its not because i dont try and its not because i go out and party all the time. i feel like theres just this sort of disconnect between how i WANT to be doing in class and how i AM doing. i feel like i've lost my ability to write a good essay, i get frustrated so easily by math, i have to look at my reading assignments without actually reading them. and its not like the material is harder than last year. in fact most of the time its easier. and yet.
i've felt a little bit so far during the first few days of this new year like i've been sleep walking, and im not sure why. i'm not unhappy. i'm not. but i definitely cant figure this one out.
tomorrow my dad is picking me up and we're going to two shows. i love that i can do that. seriously. im in no way homesick, but the fact that i'll be laying on my couch tomorrow finishing up my homework and then going to Evil Dead: The Musical just really sounds pretty magical. can't beat that.
