And you make me feel so much better knowing that we feel the same way and that we are going through the same things and that we are both strong and we believe. It takes a lot to believe.
Ellie! I miss you sooo much. Whenever I think of or try to say anything about music or awesomeness, I look for you. I know I've been particularly bad about keeping up with m=people and proposing meetings, but I feel like I'm so far away from everyone that it's impossible. It's hard enough to see my family. But if I am ever going near the Louisiana/Texas area I will be sure to think up some scheme to get together. Sometimes I try to deal with all of this by blocking it out. Which is bad, since I never truly deal with it and I make myself forget how awesome everyone is. But sometimes if I allow myself to think about everything people have lost, then I just can't handle it. Wow. This, like Dana's comment, is turning into more of an entry. I'm going to have a mass calling session when I get to California, so I'll try dropping you a line.
I totally know how you feel. I know for a fact that there's like (or was) 8 feet of water in my house. So yeah, all of my pictures, and books, and clothes are fucked up. The only reason why I get up in the morning and go to this godforsaken school is that I know that once 3:10 comes, I have lived through another day of school. I am one day closer to seeing everyone again. I live only from day to day. It's hard for me to look to the future b/c it's so uncertain. But everyday I hold onto the little shred of hope I have that Franklin will reopen at the semester. I have faith in Ms. Christen that she can get it up and running again. If we, the students, are this passionate about the school opening again, then I know that the teachers are 1,000 times more determined. And I get pissed off too when ppl talk of the school not opening. My dad was being really pissy and not very optimistic about that possibility last night and I just wanted to scream and lash out at him (and I normally get along quite well with my dad). Oh dear, this is long. I

Ellie, my love, I can't totally relate, but I do know that Franklin has a chance of reopening. I mean, Ms Christen has never sat back and done nothing about some things before. She'll find something to do about it...she's got to. Anyway, on another note, when I lay down at night, I can't sleep because I miss everyone...like, that is when I feel the most alone. It's so terrible that I also must think about us all being together in your back yard, or during the holidays, or just hanging out like we used to. Once those thoughts enter my body, I feel warm and I have faith that it will all happen. Just keep hoping for it and trying, I know I will be too. I'll be the first to use my unemployment checks to buy a ticket on a bus to Lafayette, trust me. As long as you are on the other side, I'd be willing to do it. I love you and can't wait until we see each other!
NOPS said yesterday they would most likely reopen in january for the 2nd semester and people have spoken to ms christen who is working her ass off to get it open... if nops doesn't allow it to reopen there is a chance it will turn into a UNO charter school. i can almost guarantee a class of 2006 will graduate from franklin
