Aaron is back east for Ethan’s graduation this weekend, which is actually helpful since I need to focus on my work and I’m more easily distracted when he’s around. At this point in the quarter my stress level is high and my social functioning ability quite low. I decided to venture out tonight to join some school friends for a BBQ at the beach. It’s starting to hit me that I don’t have much time before we all go our separate ways. Socialization is good for my soul, and I think for my degree project as well. I’ll probably still try to get some work in tonight, but it was nice to catch up with some friends and enjoy a beautiful day at Golden Gardens.
In addition to the BBQ and conversations I enjoyed an interesting public art performance on the beach. I can tell that I’ve been in Seattle for a little while now because seeing dancers twirling sheets around beds on the beach didn’t completely shock me. The dancers just weaved in and out of the beds while some musicians played and someone sang a melody. It was actually quite relaxing, though admittedly a little strange.
