The summer dawns it's end. Ironically, it sets upon wellness. I should really recap all that has happened recently.
For one, I still haven't called to renew my library books; which is bad.
Per two, everyone is leaving. In theory, that's terrible. But those who have left seem tremendously happy at their schools (Elisha, Jude, et al)... and that's awesome. I'm so glad everyone's adjusting well- it makes me feel better about all the uncertainty and sadness prior to their leaving. Vindication, I suppose.
Alas, weeks ago, Hal and I went to my beach house in Narragansett to record and storm ideas. It all eventually turned into a drug-induced orgy involving several mockingbirds and dentists. It was a blast. We recorded and came up with a lot of ideas- but I think we should cram them all into one handsome diddy- I think that would sound amazing, and spine-mind-tingling. So we worked and walked and talked, and bought some goldfish (RIP Secretary, viva la Secretary) and got a lot done. We've added Pat to our crew, and we're now looking for an auxillary (or primary, if it so permits) keyboardist. If any of ya know anyone around our age that would like to do keyboards for us, holler back, y'all.
Since then, I've had a few more failed attempts to see Napoleon Dynamite for the second time, but that's a-okay. It sort of sucks that everyone's leaving- especially since my own plans for future college education keep shifting--- originally Iceland, then RIC, finally Maryland... it seems it might go RIC > Maryland > England. Yeah, England would definitely be the best place to get my PhD... but we'll see in the mean time. Definitely RIC, it seems- for they even offer a minor in film. That's what I am talking about. Moreover, it sucks that everyone's leaving because it hardly felt like I was able to say goodbye to anyone properly. Oh well, they'll be back soon, and we'll all have a reunion, comparable only to the Seiver family reunion on the Growing Pains made for TV movie, when Carol tries to run for Senate, only to lose because Ben is in some kind of trouble. Man that situation sucked.
Well, more recently, I've been getting my shit together for school, and trying to determine the rest of my years. Here's the plan, transfer to RIC after CCRI (1 year til RIC), then 2 years at RIC. That will land me my bachelor's degree... then, 1 year at Goucher (in Maryland)... that will get me my master's... and finally, 2 years at Sheffield... which will result in my PhD. Starting next week, I'll be in college for the rest of my life. Woosh.
I got my tooth pulled the other day... and I really can't believe it was a tooth. After seeing it (post-flying-out-of-my-mouth), I was totally freaked out. Better hygiene from now on. However, I got vicodin out of the deal, and I can once again drink cold liquids! Life is awesome once more. And now, no more wincing in pain constantly! Joys!
And, the 28th was my birthday. A super special thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and who left an entry for me in their journals. That was really awesome and lifted my spirits. I'm sorry if I didn't comment back- because I absolutely replied to every single one I could see- I swear! I blame all non-posting on technical difficulties. I'm starting to automatically adjust back to the sleep pattern of school, which is definitely a better thing. The days of staying up til 5 will be rehashed til a break of sorts, or at least a three-day weekend.
For my birthday, Carolyn gave me a massagy thingie and an incredible book of poetry... my nana gave me $50, Lex gave me an Owls cd (wicked random and awesome), Andrew got me free tickets to Death Cab for Cutie/ Pretty Girls Make Graves, My mom got me an awesome array of clothes, and a bunch of other stuff. I just need money, really.
Alright I have no idea what I'm going to do after Friday. I'm really going to miss you so much, I can't even begin to think about it. This is, without a doubt, going to be the most painful goodbye I'll experience; and while I wish it didn't have to happen, I'm really excited for you, and I know you're going to do so well for yourself up there. Be safe, and know that I'll always-and-forever care about you. You're so linked to every little thing I do, that I'll think about you with everything I see. There's no one who I can talk to and feel as comfortable around as you- and don't take that as a universal comment- you, personally to me, make me feel more comfortable; and I can't imagine what it will be like without going for rides with you. I am going to miss you very, very much.
Well, anyway, everything's going well at work, I'm excited for school and all of that... only working 3-4 days a week starting school year... which makes things way better. Well, everyone, to all of those that have left- you're missed, but I'm happy for all of you. And to all of those staying... Rob, Patsy, Craig, Ashley, Soukdao... I'm so glad that you guys will be around. Take care, everyone.
