taught german during the school year and was an archaeologist, digging in turkey during the summer.

He told us he became an archaeologist because he wanted to be indiana jones and my heart is still warm when i think about that.

at the end of the school year we were so heartbroken because this force of nature wouldn’t be our teacher anymore and when was the next time we’d ever see him?

and he told us that we go through life meeting so many people that we’ll never see again and it was really sort of comforting.

Last week, a friend told me that he was transferring to our current school as a social studies teacher.

and i had this subtle but overwhelming feeling, because i thought of what he told me four years ago, and i thought about the ways i’ve changed and the ways he’d change but how really there are no changes because my name is still olivia and his name is still harrison and well

I signed up for a “yoga and journaling” workshop and I am wondering if it’s going to be way too new age-y for me. I suppose I can just zone out if it feels wrong.

This year’s Shamrock Shuffle T-shirt is green again and I approve.

There should be a word for the kind of casual question a person asks you specifically because s/he wants to unload some kind of massive emotional baggage on you, and you see it coming and try to, uh, go around it because you just don’t have the capacity to deal with it at that moment, and you don’t want to say “I don’t want to know.” How about “tripwire”? Let’s call it a tripwire.

I used to make fun of my mom for wearing workout clothes all the time. Now I am that person who pores over “Workout to work” fashion spreads that I will never be able to execute properly. Sorry, Mom. 

and my friend and i went to this meeting thing with all the skating coaches because we're upgrading from junior coaching to being actual instructors and we get to choreograph programs for them and whatnot and our starting pay is 18$ an hour hell yeah

then i get home and i try telling my mom about my day but she just acted really condescending and (i don't use this word lightly bc it makes me want to throw up i hate it but there is no other word to use to describe her rn) she being a bitch
