i am missing driving in cars on cold mornings. i miss getting into the old scout and wearing gloves in richmond (richmond, which isnt even cold, mind you), and freezing the whole drive to school and listening to npr on the way, stopping at 7-11 on the way to get bad coffee and make it to early morning (we literally called the special classes for seniors that began at 7 30 'early morning') in time. i miss that. i dont miss the life i had then. i was worse at handling pressure and put more pressure on myself then. i dont miss the boyfriend i had or the classes i had or the building where i had classes. though i guess i do miss the fact that alex and lisa and jaffray were all in one building with me all day. that was nice. but there is something about cold winter mornings, when youre waiting for the car to warm up, that i miss a great deal.
