the future

Went to an improptu party last night and met some really cool people there. I was playing with a toy piano when this lady (M.) introduced herself to me. We started talking, and she's a teacher in Santa Monica and so is her husband (D., the son of the host of the party). They asked what I was studying (Cinema-French..."separated" I said). They were really stoked because it turns out that her, her husband, and her brother-in-law (A.) were all film buffs. We talked film for a while, and it made me realize how much I don't know. They were naming all these films from the 60s and 70s that they said I should watch, people I should study for cinematography. It was really cool. It made me really excited for my future.

What's exciting is...I really don't know what's going to happen to me yet. I wonder if I'll decide to work in Paris if I enjoy my study abroad there. Or will I just move back to LA after I graduate? Go for my Masters? Gosh, it seems like it's all going to happen tomorrow and a decade from now, all at the same time.

simple pleasures:
1. biting into a juicy piece of cold fruit
2. a sip of tea (iced or hot, depending on the mood)
3. anything that quenches my thirst, really
4. finding that perfect article of clothing that fits you really well
5. laughing with family and/or friends
6. a smile from a stranger (especially when the stranger is cute)
7. a much needed cool breeze
