I'm in the library right now wearing flip flops while its snowing outside.... My dorm room is usually boiling hot, so I always leave the room dressed for summer weather and then I get upset when I end up walking through snow..
Anyway break was pretty good. I saw my twin sister for the first time in six months so that was nice, although I wasn't prepared for the way people reacted when we were together. For example, on Friday we decided to go to MetroRock which is a sweet climbing gym in Boston. The lady on the T commented on us being twins. The lady at the convenience store commented on us being twins. The driver of the shuttle to the climbing gym commented on us being twins... I had forgotten how annoying it is to constantly be compared to somebody else, and how its so easy to fall into a sense of shared identity. With that said, it is somewhat of a relief to be back at school among people that see me as me, not as my sister's other half.
By the way, is anyone else having trouble editing and revising their poems? I just can't seem to find the mindset I was in when I wrote them originally.
