I think I'll skip Core tomorrow...
It's interesting to me the moments that I use to define my life. When people ask me about significant instances that are important to me, I almost unfailingly recount the same ones every time. This is only weird to me because I have always thought of life-defining memories as being events on a grand scale - things that make interesting stories (or would if I could tell a remotely captivating story) - but nothing I ever come up with is earthshattering. Tonight a few friends and I were discussing random stuff - best moment of high school, most embarrassing moment of high school, etc. - and nothing I could come up with was altogether that amazing or humiliating, yet each was something that seems to define those years perfectly for me.

I also like that Whitman has changed me in a lot of ways, but that memories like those still create strong emotion within me. As much as I am trying to escape high school and the high school version of myself, it's kind of comforting to know that those three years were important in some way. They weren't as much of a waste as I tend to think they were, and 'Stick Shifts and Safety Belts' will always hold a special place in my heart. I could have done without physics though.
