march is here, to bring out the earth.

Yesterday i took pictures for Mr. Luke. i grabbed my Polaroid camera, since i told myself that i wanted to send out the pictures with the morning post and hadn't time to develop them, and went to church.

Lunch with Mr. N-train followed church. We walked around campus trying to find geese for him to show disapproval of. This will give him a good idea of what life is like here, he said. So this was the plan. Get a good thumbs-down to the geese and send it along for Luke to see. Neither i nor Mr. N-train approve of the geese. Watch out for the goose poop i told him.

The geese did not cooperate, but ran off whenever we tried to approach. i thought we should try to corner them, but N-train showed his disapproval too hastily. It was not caught by the camera. On the other hand, we found two people, one of whom insisted that i tell Luke that she wanted a pony, and that he would understand, and the other who laughed very easily. They both said goodbye and we answered goodbye.

i dropped n-train off and went to coffee with two people i love dearly. i talked to them about life after cpo, and they talked about their surprise--something i'm not supposed to talk about, but i can talk to my family and c's family and my GF about. As we sat at the bar having coffee, we watched the cars go by. Since E&C had recently bought a car, and i had helped research, this was a very easy topic of conversation. E said that they were very happy with their car, but that the lady who had owned it before had smoked in it and put a lot of air fresheners in it and they've been trying to ignore the smell but sometimes it's just too overpowering. i think their car smells like gum.

So tomorrow i will send off my letter to Luke. i have one more picture to take, of an old friend that Luke spent a lot of time with. He referred to this thing that i'm going to take a picture of as a "she" but i don't know how he could tell the difference. Trees don't usually have genders. i think i heard once that they were in fact both genders. But to Luke it was a she.
