Petunia's Demise and Other Conclusions

End of Summer:
As long predicted, the season has come to an end, and I am at the edge of a precipice. Work at the seafood market has decreased to weekend hours, so I spend much time at the computer and the cover letter.

Another Job:
In prospect only.

Social Life:
For once, I remained in contact with almost everyone this summer, just enough to not be completely reclusive. On a related note, I spent a lot of money and have to start repaying student loans soon. The total figure is terrifying compared to my current hourly wage, so I may start renting out my clothes for extra cash.

Plant Life:
Contrary to the late summer greenery, Petunia has wasted away, over-fed or under-watered. All that remains of her fresh blossoming beauty is a stick:
Petunia was unceremoniously flung into a ditch before and after this picture was taken.

Romantic Life:
No.

Romantic Comedies:
I want to watch "Alex & Emma" with Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson.

Narcissism:
I got a haircut today, and it almost looks different than it did earlier. Now the scrappyness is two inches shorter. Also--according to Mum's tip guide--I've been wayyyy over-tipping my hairdressers for a very long time.

Reunion:
Last weekend, my best high school friends and I saw Marin's senior flute recital, and she played amazingly. Erin's wedding is next weekend, and I cannot wait to see my best college friends too! Plus, I get dibs on Alexis, who is driving with me.

Conclusion:
Decent summer.
