seven days.

Cinnamon.
The essence of fall.
Pancakes with cinnamon.
The essence of goodness.
The essence of a breakfast for a champion. The breakfast to the start of a very very very long week. A week off. A week of...idolness? Long pointless hours in a coffee shop? Read a book? Begin reading for school? Attempt to become a writer? Pursue life more seriously? Visit the zoo. Go for a walk. Watch the same fifteen movies over and over. Wish that I were a painter? Learn the violin? A week off...what will I do?

.........

Before I graduate-I would like to drive down Moro street the wrong way...just to see what would happen. I feel as if a ticket might be issued-a rather large ticket...but, would it be worth it? I think so.

..........

Though I have a week to myself-a week of freedom...I don't want anyone to move back to town. For two consecutive summers I have lived in this town. I feel that I have some sense of ownership to not want the ones who simply 'go to school here' to move back into town. I don't see that as ok. I LIVE here now. My town. This is silly-I know-especially since we are talking about Manhattan, but after a certain amount of time a community builds. During the summer I feel that in some ways, there is a stronger community that is built rather than ones during the school year. I don't know how it is or in what ways I could describe it...but it's odd and I like it.

On the flip side...if people do not move back into town...then fall will not come and without fall...well let's just say cinnamon would not taste so superb.

I feel the same way as your last blurb. Manhattan is my town now, and I've only been here one summer. it's my home. who are all these people coming and staying in my home?
