Summer reading? Pshh!

May 18, 2006 18:38

As it turns out, my preconceived notion that summer reading would end with high school is wrong:

"In a few weeks, we will send you the three books that will constitute your summer reading. They are: Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains, and Julie Orringer's How to Breathe Underwater. During Orientation, authors will participate in a moderated discussion followed by your questions, and then you will return to your dorm for a more intimate conversation about the books with your dormmates"

Not much is happening, hence the paucity and dearth of updates! (I miss McD's vocab lists!)

Some lyrics, since I have a chem project to do that I haven't started yet, and that requires lots and lots of citations.

I'm standing before my old high school.
It's been 10 yrs since I touched the door.
But to heal the old pain we must face it again
so I'll walk down that hallway once more.

I have come to this 10 yr reunion for my heart is still pris'ner of war.
'n if I find it's alright we're escaping tonight.
That's what I came back here for.

Won't you please waltz with me?
I feel like I'm just like I used to be
my heart is locked up here so quietly
believing that you hold the key.

Won't you please waltz me free?
The turns of our steps are untangling me,
free from some dragged around memory
and the rusty old remnants of fear.

And after 10 years,
I'm melting the shackles with tears.

I'm as nervous as if its still high school.
You're happily married I know.
But it's not just this dance that I'm asking you for.
I'm asking you ten years ago.

Remember I wrote in your yearbook?
Could you please waste some time on me?
There's just a few things I must tell you,
but that's as brave as I could be.

Won't you please waltz with me?
I feel like I'm just like I used to be
my heart is locked up here so quietly
believing that you hold the key.

Won't you please waltz me free?
The turns of our steps are untangling me,
free from some dragged around memory
and the rusty old remnants of fear.

And after 10 years
I'm melting the shackles with tears.
