Sometimes I feel like life was perfect before I left SRC. Obviously it wasn't, and I doubt it would be perfect now if I had stayed. Things are moving so fast it's taking me more and more time to catch up on memories and become nostalgic about things.
Why is it that Conserve, and Simon's Rock, and Beloit communities seem so different. Clearly, such places are not going to share all the same traits, but clearly they had to be pretty similar for me to be so happy with the people around me in all three places. Do factors like size and geographical location have that much effect on how I see my schools? Are things really that different because I'm allowed to drink in one place, or because one place is in New England, or because another was brand new? Am I changing so rapidly that I need a new place to be a part of every few years without fail, or do I adjust to almost any environment and make myself feel comfortable there?
Andrew visited last night, he's asleep right now. I've really missed that guy. Spent close to two school years living with him, you grow accustomed to people at that point. It's weird that his hair is short now. His dad's Corvette is fucking awesome though.
Door County this weekend, packing up more shit, which is all I ever seem to do. Packing to go to school, to leave school, gonna pack up stuff back home, gonna have to pack up my stuff here at my uncle's when everyone moves into the duplex. Packing and getting nervous, that's how it sometimes feels I spend all my time. I'd like to just spend one solid year in a place, I haven't done that since I was 12/13, and that wasn't in a very good place. I'm looking at two years before I might be in a place I'll want to stay. Odds are it will be more like five before things get at all worked out.
I have been eating Dannon Activia yogurt. I am not sure why.
