If you will it...
convention and institute - nuff said.
c'mo: "im tirtzu - nuff said." (except for its awkward hebrew translation....)
i'm already missing everyone, i've never been so wet or so protected by hazmat in my life, i've cried more in the past week than i have in my entire life - i don't cry.
i've reached a new point in my life. without the constant presence of institute prep (so much love to the 26 amazing juniors with whom i have had the pleasure to work this year), nfty really is winding down for me, even though we still have a few months to go. also, i will probably never see many of my EIEers again, although i'm making efforts to visit chicago and new jersey in the upcoming months. and i'm just so done with high school. everything is coming to a close, and i'm ready for it.
and now, let me announce an important fact. contrary to popular belief, it IS possible for me to be unhappy. i may be the queen of optimism, promoter of happiness, and lover of sunshine, but i get upset about things just like everyone else. so in some ways, it's even harder for me to deal with being unhappy, because i'm trapped into the mindset that i must constantly reside in my cheerful world. well, i'm working on it.
thanks for crying with me, and singing with me, and dancing with me, and learning with me, and especially for all the loving. there's no way i would rather have spent my week.
