jersey smells!
Who was I kidding to think I could really spend a month in New Jersey? Next Friday, I'm scuttling back to the city like a roach to the sewers. I've secured a place on my old living room couch and I'm feeling the sanity return already.
It's depressing here. My brother's here on break from his first year at Arizona State, and he hates it as much as I do. He's out of his element; it's painfully obvious. This place is as poor a substitute for the desert as it is for Broadway. "Do yourself a favor," I told him, "and find a job that'll keep you out of here for the summer." I've never spend a summer here since I moved out, and I can't imagine it. Winter break is bad enough. I've always gone back early.
If it were just that I had to deal with being away from the city for a while, maybe I could do it. But what kills me is that being here makes me forget what it's like to be anywhere else.
