Creating New Versions of Myself: Southern

      Happy Tuesday! This week has felt so incredibly long and it's not even halfway over yet. Each class feels like it lasts 3 hours rather than 50 minutes, and the days drag along so slowly that it's almost unbearable. Tomorrow the classes are 80 minutes, but there are only three periods and we don't have to be at school until 9:45! Late starts are the reason why I've made it this far during my senior year. Only 46 days left until graduation!
      Recently, the weather has been warming up a little and it has me daydreaming of swinging on a porch somewhere in the South. Here's what Southern Brooke would do.

      Southern Brooke...

• Has summer picnics and garden parties
• Wears pearls and sundresses
• Frequently gets manicures and pedicures
• Goes to the beach whenever she can
• Appreciates snail mail and old traditions
• Enjoys cooking and eating shrimp & grits, biscuits, and peach cobbler
• Sips sweet tea on her porch while watching the sun go down
• Takes gardening, slow cooking, and crocheting very seriously
• Strolls along lanes with Spanish Moss trees
• Lives in an old plantation home with a porch and a swing

Do you ever imagine what your life would be like if you lived somewhere else?

Carpe Diem,
Brooke
