So it’s mid-August…and I’m not getting ready to start classes. This is a very odd feeling. I mean, for the past seventeen years, every August I’ve been in school…and now it’s just…done.
Thinking about fall makes me miss Greensboro. Note I didn’t actually go to school in Greensboro, but that is beside the point. Raleigh just isn’t the same. I hate the traffic here. Everything looks the same. It’s just shopping center after shopping center. I just feel like Raleigh doesn’t have any character, compared to Greensboro. There’s not an independent coffee shop (shout out to my beloved coffeeology) anywhere near me in Raleigh. There are 4 Starbucks. All the buildings are new. And filled with chain stores.
I want to take my puppy for a walk in an actual neighborhood. One with houses that are all different sizes, colors, and actual yards. The “neighborhoods” in Raleigh are just two streets with the same house built over and over. I hate that.
In other (sad) news…Oscar lost his puppy breath. Now he is just gnawing on my flesh with his razor sharp teeth and there is nothing remotely endearing about it.
