Okay, there are noises EVERYWHERE, ALL THE DANG TIME! From honking horns to cat-calling greasy men to slow moving trams to this obnoxious ringing bell outside my balcony right now that is distracting me from everything, there is NEVER silence. I loved the desert this weekend so much (I will get to that blog post right after this if that stupid man quits ringing his stupid bell) because there was complete silence. I miss being at the lake, on the dock, with nothing but the gentle sounds of the water and the wind. I miss being able to find a spot on campus, under a tree, to read for class. I feel like the Grinch who is looking down on Whoville, covering his ears and exclaiming, "I hate all the noise, noise, noise!!!" Too bad this isn't Whoville, but maybe I will come to appreciate the noise and experience a change of heart.
I will keep you posted if that miracle occurs and my heart grows three sizes.
