dickinson and winding down
as much as I try, I cannot like Emily Dickinson. I get that she's a great poet. She isolated herself, looked out a window, and wore all white. yada yada yada. Writing a paper on one of her poems is torture and it's only 2 pages. Next week's paper is 5-7 pages or something like that. yay.
I'm trying to ignore the fact that I graduate on May 17. I freaked out last night about what's next. I don't know what I'm doing after this. I need a plan. I like (and loathe) plans.

and a little nickel creek to brighten everyone's day...
What will be left when I've drawn my last breath
Besides the folks I've met and the folks who've known me
Will I discover a soul-saving love
Or just the dirt above and below me
I'm a doubting Thomas
I took a promise
But I do not feel safe
Oh me of little faith
Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face
Then I beg to be spared cause I'm a coward
If there's a master of death
I bet he's holding his breath
As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power
I'm a doubting Thomas
I can't keep my promises
Cause I don't know what's safe
Oh me of little faith
Can I be used to help others find truth
When I'm scared I'll find proof that it's a lie
Can I be led down a trail dropping bread crumbs
That prove I'm not ready to die
Please give me time to decipher the signs
Please forgive me for time that I've wasted
I'm a doubting Thomas
I'll take your promise
You've always kept me safe
Oh me of little faith
(doubting thomas) the song is playing downstairs and it's one of my favorite nickel creek songs.
