i am miss mandi.

today is the first day of september.

happy first day of september.

this week has been good.

it's a thursday & i feel like the week simply flew by.

the homesickness is still there. but. it's calming down.

i have friends at snow college.

& i take naps in the library.

sometimes. my sister, makayla, she's ten. she sends me a postcard. & it reads.

"mandi~

thank you for coming up on friday & spending time with me!

thank you for cheering me on at my soccer game!

oh. you know that puzzle sweater you have?

well grandma was wearing it on one of the home videos, it was funny.

i love you! i miss you!

love: makayla."

the exclamation points were totally necessary. she used them. she was excited. she loves me. it's cute. she's cute. i like mail. please feel free to send me some. i have my very own mailbox. which i check every single day. more than once... & when it's empty, my heart breaks. just a little. so. i'm thinking that three days without a single letter is quite unhealthy. a broken heart is not entirely enjoyable.

so. send me some mail? i'd like that.

if you emailed me. i'd email you back with my info.

&. if you sent me a sweet something snail style. you'd better believe i'd reply.

my tan is slowly leaving my body.

and its killing me.

winter is when i feel most insecure.

i don't look good in white.

ever been kissed by a man with facial hair?

it feels nice.

i always thought it would.

also.

but everything to follow your heart."

have a good weekend people.
