"The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest." -E.B. White, in the Foreword to his collection "Essays"

Domestic Adventures
Birthday party for Kira! On the far left there is Umbeline, French and fellow volunteer on whom I have a friend-crush.
Jan’s cake was A Seriously Awesome Cake.
Roommate Chris, in the morning. He’s smiling because he hasn’t yet arrosé (hosed, watered) all of les tunnels (the greenhouse tunnels), or been called “le canadien” by Christian, or been shouted at by M. Vahé. Or been made fun of by his roommates.
Roommate Anu, after the morning work. “Why are there so many campanoules to deadhead?!” she asks herself, despairingly.
Grocery shopping with the girls in Vernon!
Kira’s dishwasher (in a different apartment) fizzed over.
We made quiche and salad! Specifically, Kira made quiche, and Anu and I stood around being impressed.
Aaaaand then it’s morning again, and we go back to work.
