Good Morning

I'm sitting in a starbucks on Eye (I) Street downtown. Due to the floors in my house being resurfaced, and my mother having to go to work, and my father having a meeting, this is where I have been placed. I'll sit here waiting for a call from my dad, signaling that I can do something else with my day, but for now, I'll use the free wi-fi and watch the people walking by on the street and walking into the Starbucks. The people here know my dad. He comes in about every day so they start making his drink when they see him walk through the door. He thanked the cashier by name. I think it must be nice to be known. It's interesting to sit here and see all the people in their suits come in. It's hot outside - the day will probably get into the 90s, but there are men in their suits and ties walking around like the day is cool. I wish it were. I'm wishing for fall weather, though I'm sure it won't be coming soon. Maybe when I get back to school. Though I do hope for some warmth when I first get there so that nights can be spent sitting on the rocks next to the lake, looking over the dark expanse of water towards the bright lights of the city. Today it's a month until I go back. And my friends from home will mostly be gone by the end of the week. So, I bought a lot of stuff from Michael's yesterday, and plan on being supremely crafty during my month. I might as well have something to show for my summer.
