Summertime happiness

I wake up to the brightness of my room and get up before the alarm. A cup of coffee, a bowl of cereals. I put my black shoes on, the ones that leave a cross-shaped tan line. I press the elevator button and wait. I see my reflection. Sunglasses, hair tied up on the top of my head. Flowers in my shirt, appropriate to the season. I step in a tram and watch the same familiar buildings go by. I switch to another one to get to my destination.

A crowd. The market place is full of multinational people wandering between the tables. I hear words of English, Spanish, Russian, Swedish. I join the colorful mass. 

Sun shines bright and I choose to walk instead of waiting seven minutes. Trees form shadows on the sidewalk and I walk slowly. A tiny boutique filled with beautiful, interesting decorating items on the left. I walk in and admire the selection. Not buying anything I continue ahead. 

The center is more busy so I automatically increase my speed. Not really planning to, I walk in to a store. A tram ride back, hungry. 

A tuna salad, fresh and light. I switch on the computer, take out an envelope from the drawer on my right side. Fill the papers, university attendance confirmed. My sister sends a text, she got engaged. A moment of astonishment. Words can't describe how happy I am for her. Nothing can ruin this day.
