MW2, NOS, AND SUMMER PLAYLISTS

listening: my heroine- silverstein
gangsta's paradise (screamo remix)- in fear and faith

summer.
it's a bit of a bittersweet time.
for one thing, the freedom is amazing.

i ride down to mac's every day to buy myself a nos, get home and play xbox or sit outside, depending on the weather.

i hang out with danny, ride to the mall, or just dick around at home with my family.

but at the same time, i miss the familiarity of school.

i miss lunchtimes in the debate room, i miss the friends i made this year (jenn, kim, matt, coleby, jenica, justin) or the friendships i continued (leandro, natalie, deanna, etc.).

i brood over the fact that when I go back in the fall, all of the grade 12 friends i made (except matt) will be gone, and the only ones left in the room will be me, jenn, leo, marguerite and coleby, plus a horde of new grade 10's.

summer comes with the grim realization that my grade 12 support system had moved on, leaving us to completely fend for ourselves.

summer branches the known and the unknown, providing us with freedom that, come september, will be swiftly and brutally replaced with classes, grades, and homework.

so as this summer trundles along, i'll enjoy it, but there will be a few clouds hanging over my head.
