it is very frustrating to go to college for 4 years. Come out thinking you know enough to get by in the world. Then find a summer job in which you know nothing, nothing you do is right, no one is impressed by what you do know, and because of your age, little instruction is given ( Read more... )

I'm sorry you're struggling Gigi! I know you'll pull through because you're resilient as hell. You will shortly be receiving a terribly written letter from me. Social isolation is a bitch. <3

You don't even know how much this meant to me. I am pulling through.
I got the letter. I liked the part about the most heard horn player. I'll be writing back shortly.

that is super weird that:
a) we are the same person
b) I dont know any ann's that I played frisbee with, but
c) you met her and it's cool
d) speculator is like 1.5 hours away and I ought to visit if I get some car action/people who wanna roadtrip.

Hope it's not unbearable!!!

Baby Girl!

They're all fuckers and don't know a good (and smart) thing even if it bit 'em in the taint.

Pros:

You wouldn't really want to be able to brag about having 7 years of camp maintenence work under your belt. uhhhhhhhhhh, no.

No one walks in on you despite your "door" being closed. (okay, I'm just still pissy about Grace walking in on my just now as I was modeling my new summer dress...for myself...at 2:30 am. Shut up, it's normal).

You have 4 years of fulfilling experience that has made you a deeply interesting person with a discerning mind and heart.

I love you.

...totes in solidarity with you on social isolation. Can I still come visit in August?

Please please please do come visit!!!
baby, thank you for the ego boost, thank you for being with me in solidarity, I wish I could be with you physically and we could end the social isolation.
and yeah, he's totally a freak for having been in this place for so long... it's like dan and the golf course. (but he does have a sweet turtle shell and he never wears underwear so it's always hangin out, haha)

I wanna bust you so baddly!!!! I hope you can milk your summer in the city for all it's worth though, I hope adventuring on your own can be fruitful too!!! eat a garlic knot for me, Momma!

Here's a big secret: college educations aren't really about learning things, they're about learning to learn with a loosely defined specialty. No one really should care that you're familiar with the Arrhenius equation or the unique and curious nitrogen uptake mechanism of the malanga root.

Why did you decide to work at a summer camp?

I agree.
however it's challenging to begin learning with new and unexpected demands and also in a new way. I'm coming from a place with lots of rules to a very liberal if-you-do-something-bad-don't-get-caught sort of place where you're really expected to break rules and find things out the hard way. (we've already gotten two flat tires).

I decided to because I wanted a break from the city and from people in general. I'm warming up to it. and it's good to be friendly to guests.

I wish I could remember your smell, Adam.
Love,
Gigi
