poignant relief
so I'm in sucky North Carolina...just finished a suckass paper about obedience to authority that was supposed to be in the past but apparently not. besides the fact that my teacher despises me, I like the class. I actually think I learned a great deal about writing. Heh. So I'll show those SAT guys what I'm made of...bullshit.
It's weird because I didn't want to come to TiP and "waste" 3 weeks of my precious summer, but now that it's the second to last day, there's nothing I'd rather do than stay here for another couple weeks. I met the most amazing people ever, and learned so much, both academically and socially. I found things out about myself that I would never have known. Like apparently I can dance? Ok, never knew that one. And other things that will not be disclosed here because of their Xtreme secrecy...I know I'm gonna bawl on the van to the airport and while I DO want to do that, I don't at the same time clearly because I'm going to miss all the people here so incredibly mmuch. There's just this inexplicable aura at TiP, and the ironc thing is, you don't even notice it or appreciate it till about halfway through. All the things about yourself that you always thought of as too dorky or nerdy come out, and you're proud of em because you realize that everyone else around you is about ten times worse than you. its like this constant state of happiness that never goes away until you leave. you're giddy when you wake up and eat the shitty food, giddy through 7 hours of class, giddy when you go to bed, staring at the walls wide awake. its the darndest thing.
you cut me down a tree
and brought it bakc to me
and thats what made me see
where I was goin wrong
you put me on a shelf
and kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
you can only blame me
and I could write a song
a hundred miles long
well thats where I belong
and you belong with me
and I could write it down
and spread it all around
get lost and then get found
not swallowed in the sea
~song that will forevermore remind me of TiP <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
