Do you even need to ask WHY?

Parents Weekend

So I woke up this morning and called my parents. They told me that they werent really interested in taking my brother and me out this weekend. We get to be orphans for the day. Now I have retreated to my room because everyone else has parents today...maybe I will get adopted later. I was going to take picture but that boy has my damn camera. It is gorgeous out right now.

Today then song of the day is "Armistice" by Phoenix

Sunrise (Also the difficulties of faulty keyboards)

I havent written on this blog for a very long time, so excuse me if i am a bit rusty.

I love it at Clark. I feel like I have been here for years even though it hasnt even been a month yet. I've found so many things to do here and so many people to be friends with. I also have finally realized how fantastic Worcester is.

So for the past three days (and the next six weeks), my wake up time is 5:30 am. I'm not crazy, I just joined the crew team. I love it though. I missed working out and feeling productive. Learning a new sport is one of the best feelings, plus i get to be close to the water all the time (Although i am not about to go swimming in Lake Quinsig any time soon). The best part of the whole experience is getting to see the sun rise. As we drive through the city to get to the lake, the view is constantly changing. At about 6:05 we pass Union Station. The sky is just starting to become a royal blue color, but all the lights are still on around the station. Then when we get to the boat house, the sun is comming up and the mist begins to rise off the water. The varsity boats disappear into the mist. As we swerve our way down the lake (in the most uncorrdinated fashion) the sun appears and lights up the trees which have just begun to change colors. It is magical. I love getting to see a part of the day which most people never do. Also, I always go to breakfast afterwards so I can finally use up my meal plan. AND I am now an expert napper.

My keyboard hates typing on the internet so this took forever to write...

Baby Shark do-do--do-do--do-do

The last three days have truly been some of the most enjoyable days of the entire summer. I could not have asked for anything better. Two days were spent at the beach , and the third was just incredibly fun. I learned a new camp song from Brenna called baby shark. I am now obsessed. I put all phrases into the song. I went to dinner and it was "eat the food do-do--do-do--do-do"...I took a shower: "wash my hair do--do-do--do-do"....I took out Lola "walk the dog do-do--do-do--do-do"....its gotten pretty silly.

I am starting to feel the bitter sweetness of leaving for school. I want to get away from home finally, but I don't know if i am ready to leave everything behind from home. I don't want things to stay the same, but part of me is sad to know that it wont ever be the same again...no summer will ever be like this summer. I have left the warm waters of the kiddie pool, but I stand on the edge of the ocean wondering if the water will be too cold. Its all too cliche.

I guess the song of the day is some song whose name i do not know, from a mix CD which Jen got from a friend...I don't think i could be more vague

Pictures

This summer is turning out to be the best one yet, and I never expected it to be. Even when things go wrong, somehow it turns around and becomes fun again.

Also I have finally succeeded in sneaking out of my house! Most people have already achieved this great feat by the time that they are seventeen, but before I never had the need to. It was fantastic, although the purpose of the sneaking out (night photography) was slightly overlooked due to coyotes.

Yesterday I went to the beach. I was supposed to be cleaning my room but I figured that could wait. On the way home Dani and I saw the most amazing sunset, but every time i would try to take a picture something would get in the way. It was possibly to beautiful to take a picture of, and I think the whole world around us agreed and was trying to stop me from taking one. Anyways, i did get one shot, its okay.

oh also this

Phewww

Things finally feel like they are getting back to normal. At some point i would have compared this feeling to getting out of jail, but that no longer seems appropriate. However, something feels like its changed forever, but i cant put my finger on it. Like there is a weight on my chest that was never there before and I am pretty sure it isnt the kind that will just go away...I'll have to get used to it.



My feet are sore. I went for a three mile walk with Liz and didnt wear my shoes for a good mile. My feet arent adjusted to the pavement yet. I enjoy walking. It clears the head.



hmmm...



oh! for those of you who havent already heard it, please listen to the new Regina Spektor CD!!!!! it is wicked good! So the album "Far" by Regina Spektor is album of the day!
