home

in the immortal words of alice cooper...
School's out for summer
School's out forever
Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not come back at all

ok, i paraphrased a bit, but that's the important part. the thing of it is, every other year til now, i've been right there with him, celebrating the end of school, revelling in the couple of months i had until it started back up. this year, it's a bit different. i'm actually disappointed to leave. for once in my life, i will truly miss school, and not just as an alternative to sitting at home bored off my ass. i'm going to miss the people, the freedom, the dorm life, the city, and yes, even the classes. but most of all, i'm going to miss jaya. maybe that's sappy and maybe i shouldn't have said it, and yeah i'll probably be talking to her pretty much everyday, but that doesn't lessen anything. i am going to miss her, a lot. those other things, they're fun, good reasons to go back to school in the fall, but they're not necessary. truly, if all i got out of it was to hang out with her for just a little bit, i'd jump at the chance.
but, i'm here in colorado now, and i suppose i need to make the best of it. and really, it's not that bad. i've got plenty of friends here, many that i haven't seen for a year, and i start work soon. this summer promises to be a lot of fun, and soon enough i'll be back in the big easy, appreciating it all the more for having been gone. not before i go to warped tour, or water world, or watch sin city in the drive in, or get myself disgustingly fat on my mom's food, however. yeah, this summer is gonna be a lot of fun. and i bet by the time it's over, i won't want to leave quite yet, cuz i'm fickle like that.
and now i think it's time for me to sleep, i mean really sleep, in my own big bed, with no school to worry about, nothing at all to do. i've been waiting for this forever, and i'm gonna make the most of it.
