There was a little smell in the air of mist and damp, the smell that comes with the first fall of the leaf.

I would like to announce

That I got no writing done yesterday

BUT

I thought about writing.

*round of applause*

JOMP BPC || August 3 || Summer:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Summer is for basking in the more light and romantic aspects of academia; fiction and poetry, long airy skirts, oversized dress shirts, ruminating on miscellaneous topics with siblings and cousins, reading outside, tote bags, sunglasses, ice-cold drinks, annotating books under sunlight, instigating debates among friends in public gardens, pressing flowers, recording favourite quotes at the back of pretty cards, long pale dresses, grass-stained paper and clothes, leaves as bookmarks.
