College Visits

I spent the weekend visiting a college for the second time this year, and had so much FUN. It's such a tease. I spent the weekend with my friends who I met during a summer program and got to spend some great outdoorsy time, which reminded me of Mountain School. I flew over by myself. I used to have a lot of fun at airports by myself because it makes me feel so grown-up and I can walk around as much as I want. It was like this at first, but while I was eating my sushi I didn't know what to do with myself and felt a tad bit lonely. I tried writing some poetry, but I wasn't feelin' it, and I didn't want to eat with earphones on, so I ended up just sitting and eating. Weird. I didn't have to multi-task, something I'm so used to doing, and what a great start to the weekend. I got to spend a nice hour or so on the plane, not thinking, but having trouble sleeping...always an issue. But it was nice to not worry and the whole weekend continued with this chill-ness. My only job for about two days was to just enjoy and absorb the environment. Most importantly, I got another taste of the peaceful and free place we're all working for. (Please let me praise college; it keeps me motivated.)

The thing is that after these weekends, we pushed right back into high school mode. AHH! Craziness, but I guess I'm getting used to it because today wasn't so bad. Except I kept talking to Lorraine about how I'm dying to leave everything and in a completely new environment with completely new people. Oh, college. :)

And just on that topic, I'm very happy for someone who has already received an acceptance letter. (very subtle shout-out. wink wink) Enjoy the feeling!

Seniors: LET'S GET THOSE SUPPLEMENTS DONE WITHOUT STRESSING TOO MUCH. One thing that helps me get this done is setting aside a very specific time of my day to just get started. I find that the hardest thing is starting, but just go for it! ...I need to get on that.. haha

That is all. Now I shall please you with pictures of a very beautiful place.

This is my very cool and beautiful friend, Grace.
