Some end of year clean-up

[possum_wanderer]

Had an interview at Wolf Trap on Friday, hoping to work the gift shop there this summer. It would mean working until midnight and then doing Frost-Robinson band camp starting at 8 in the morning, which would kind of stink. But you know, sacrifices

Yeah. It's like we're slipping slowly into summer, lowering ourselves into it like a hot-tub, rather than being IN SCHOOL and then OUT OF SCHOOL. For years I remember thinking about how great it'd be to be gone, and just the past few months has it ocurred to me that I have friends here - not that they'll be impossible to live away from, just that only recently has this place had any hold over me.

If we were old enough to drink (another thing we may slip into slowly, but that's for another time), I'd propose a toast.

today, i got my uva orientation packet in the mail, and i was so excited to be reading it, until it got to the bit where they were describing the tentative schedule for orientation. and i realized that college, while i have no doubt that i'll grow to love it, is taking me away from the people i love.

and i resented the ib internship for taking that period of time where we're not doing anything but taking many, many sentimental pictures and signing yearbooks in every single class. i want that still. there're people i'm going to miss because it'll feel like this huge chunk of me has been ripped into bits and sent to different places across the country.

i'm way too schmaltzy for my own good.

I spent most of high school realizing how fast it was going by and then not wanting it to end. And then around March last year, when I realized where I was going to college, that IB was coming to an end, I was more ready than ever. And then it wasn't until August, when I had my last guitar lesson with Larry that I finally felt like high school had ended. It's a weird feeling. And it's also one of those things where part of me keeps expecting to go back.

Sorry that you're gettting backwards comments from me, but it happens when I don't read for a week.
