honeybee

that word has been on my mind lately, popping up here and there... sort of strange.

moving on...

i've been pretty sporadic with posting lately and i don't see that changing anytime soon i'm afraid. the past week has been busy with a trip to the Maine coast and then the weekend rounding off with orientation at school! my classes start next week and then my internship the week following... it's starting to become real and a little scary (but also pretty exciting).

i still have a lot of reading to do before classes start. i decided that my plan of attack would be to conquer the books first and then the various articles and text book chapters. i'll admit, the bell hooks book was sleep inducing... however the next book to conquer (The Spririt Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman) has been a complete joy. if you like cultural studies and you're looking for a book to read, this is the book for you. it's beautifully written and incredibly interesting.

along with the summer reading i've been trying to take pictures whenever i can, like the one you see above which is my contribution to Shari's week of elements... today's subject is "earth". i'm hoping to get it together to participate in the next few days as well, but like i just wrote to Shari "getting it together" lately has been quite the challenge!

lots to do today, check in here sometime later on this week for Maditi's and my 11th week of summer.

have a good one!
