Beach Times

I had my first (and potentially, but hopefully not, last) beach day of summer yesterday! The weather was crap so we were only there for a couple of hours as opposed to a whole day, there was a fair proportion of dumpy waves, and for a while there was quite a strong rip, but that doesn't destroy the allure of BEACH!!! Can't have summer in the capital of the Sunshine State and not have a beach day. MBF and I went, and it was so satisfyingly relaxing.

I am no longer in mental, freak-out, commitmentphobic mode. Sure, we also still haven't had a conversation about what's going on, but I'm getting some time to myself tonight, which seems to have been enough to help me chill out about it all. I think yesterday was lowkey enough to have been pretty helpful, too. Plus, I do just genuinely enjoy the time that we spend together - the concept of potentially destroying it by deciding we need to have some kind of seriously awkward conversation is not particularly attractive!

One week from now, I'll have had my first day of uni for my new degree. What an utterly bizarre concept.... For the moment, I'm trying to organise time with friends before the craziness begins.
