a few days (7/27) ago was my last full day at st augie. i got up, went for a walk on the beach, came back, ate, chilled, and tried to do some schoolwork. my stomach wasn’t feeling well at all, so i stayed in for a little bit while my friend and her parents went… Read More day 13/14 – st augie ’18

today, my alarm wasn’t gonna work for me. i had been tossing and turning for a while, so i was ready for my alarm to go off, but then i still wanted to sleep. i eventually got out of bed around 9. after about 1.5 hours of debating with my friend and her mom, we… Read More day 12 – st augie ’18

yesterday, the 26th, my 6 o’clock alarm didn’t wake me up… my friend woke me up at 6:20. ‘hey it’s 6:20. i didn’t know when you set your alarm.’ oh, crap. gotta get dressed for paddle-board yoga. turned out, my friend actually didn’t go because her paranoia of sharks. honestly though, i’m glad that i… Read More day 11 – st augie ’18

i was restless this morning, so 8 o’clock was kind of a relief. got up, goofed off, ate, then decided to go out to the beach round 10. forecast said it was supposed to rain around 12 off and on until 7 or so. my friend didn’t want to go out today, so it was… Read More day 10 – st augie ’18

i didn’t listen to my alarm this morning. around 7am, my stomach started hurting with one of its super-dramatic random, un-diagnosed symptom fits, so i ate a banana then went back to sleep. i woke up, waited for my friend to wake up, then we went out to the beach. it was hot and sweaty,… Read More day 9 – st augie ’18

i crawled out of bed around 8:30. didn’t feel much better than last night. so i went for a walk on the beach. the beach is my happy place, and it helped me the other day. i loved listening and touching and feeling and seeing my ocean, but my head only felt tighter. went home,… Read More day 8 – st augie ’18

yesterday, on the 21st, the weather was just ok. woke up, went for a walk on the beach, then went out by the pool with my friend. we tanned and sweated (a lot). then i went in for lunch. by the time i was going to go back out, it was raining. when it stopped… Read More day 7 – st augie ’18

two days ago, on the 20th, it was friday. since it was a few days ago, i don’t remember every detail. but i remember going out to the beach. it was overcast, so i didn’t bring sunscreen. it was cloudy, but not super dark, it was windy- just enough to cool you off, and i… Read More day 6 – st augie ’18

yesterday was not very great. i don’t remember everything i did. i just know that starting around 2/3 my head starting killing me and i started having other symptoms. by dinner, i wanted to cry myself to sleep. then after smelling and hearing all the stuff at the restaurant i crawled straight into bed last… Read More day 5 – st augie ’18

8 o’clock alarm turned into 8:20 alarm. again, i don’t remember turning off my alarm. but then, like inconsiderate apartment residents, my friend’s dad (in the room right above us) started making so much ruckess you would’ve thought he was renovating the whole room. agitated, i got up and made oatmeal (which does NOT taste… Read More day 4 – st augie ’18

yet again, another 8 o’clock alarm. i was in a groggy half-sleep state, so i don’t quite remember turning the alarm off, but i remember panicking that i wasn’t doing any school, so i got up. it was actually only a few minutes after 8 when i got up, so we good. i opened by… Read More day 3 – st augie ’18

hate when you sleep past your alarm? yeah, i do too. especially when i set an early alarm specifically so that i could enjoy most of my day at the beach, assuming i was productive with school-work in the early morning. anyway, i started working on school around 9:15, but didn’t work for long. my… Read More day 2 – st augie ’18

8 o’clock alarm (actually 7am according to my hometown clock) woke me up for schoolwork. but…. the hour i worked wasn’t very productive. english research essays aren’t always easy by the way. then, my friend and i head out to the beach. towel, hat, water, speakers, sun-screen, flip-flops. when we get down there, we choose… Read More day 1 – st augie ’18

today began by finally getting into a hotel room and falling asleep after two in the morning. after picking my brother up from camp around eight,  driving straight to atlanta, then realizing a softball tournament took up most of the beds in most atlanta hotels, my family finally got in bed around two. i woke… Read More travel day – st augie ’18
