but all the things I have planned. It's kind of an amazing thing to have no substantial, solid future that is set in stone but to to have so many plans you don't know what to do with them.
Just as Caroline felt due for a new, upbeat post, so did I. It's not like there are any improvements upon life, or drastic events to report, just a change in mood, "a change of heart, a change of clothes." I have that itch for summer and all the happy, lighthearted feelings that come with it in the last two weeks of school. Even people like me who love the school year and hate bits of the summer anticipate the end of the year like everyone else. It's the weather, and the relaxed atmosphere that does it, I think.
I think the biggest change, though, is in my ability to share things with people. I think gs did it for me. Having to get to know people and become friends with them in such a short period of time changed me, I think, though it took the change nearly a year to fully manifest itself. I mean, it's amazing how close I've become to Kristen and Cam just by having a single class with them, and how much I've been able to tell them. I don't tell people things. It's just not me. And they know pretty much everything. No more than my best friends know, and not quite as much, but definitely a lot more than I ever expected to tell them. This is a positive change, for sure.
Also, having conversations with Kristen off and on all night Friday? Yeah, I learned quite a few things. Like that I'm not as much of a phenomenon as I thought.
This post had no set goal in mind, nor a planned topic of discussion. I don't even know what I will say for the rest of it, though I don't want to leave it at his. Other than I saw Zack Hodges today. Not in reality, but a guy who looked just like him. This doppelganger had the same posture, the same protruding adam's apple, the same glasses, and, if I dare say, the same wild hand gestures. I didn't hear his voice, as he was in a car and I was on a bus, and we were not within range (due to the closed windows and the metal and the air and whatnot), but I'm sure he sounded like Zack, too. It's a shame it wasn't actually him, though it wouldn't have mattered. We were going in opposite directions on a street, me to school, him to...well, I'll never know. Maybe his grandmother's house? Or Wal-Mart? Maybe he was going to play in a park?
Oh, well. I guess that concludes my post. I have a poem I think I'll put on Don't Fret later, but right now, it isn't a full triangle. I'm writing it for an english assignment, and I like it a lot so far, if only it was a full triangle. =)

I think about my lack of future

This hasn't been here since Sunday, has it? Because blogger definitely says it has, and not only am I fairly certain there was no new post YESTERDAY let alone four days ago, but it doesn't make any sense for some of this to have been written Sunday. Hmm. Weird.
I need to talk to you.
But not in school, and I don't want to talk on the phone or text. So it will have to be a post or an email or a hanging out and talking. Let me know which you prefer.
Love you.
Caroline
That sounds serious. Post or email? Because I don't know when we can hang out except Saturday at the beach, and there will be lots of other people there. I have to go shopping Friday, if my mom will take me, to get Jess and Allie presents and to possibly get a new bathing suit. And there's just tomorrow otherwise.
No, it wasn't up Sunday. I started writing it Sunday, and blogger isn't that smart and posts it as the date you started it.
end of the school year is incredibly peaceful for me. i was afraid that i would be all choked up about it, but i feel like the timing is right, i'm not in a serious relationship with anyone (whether that be friend or more than) and i'm just floating off to this next stage of life. i'm kind of enjoying it.
btw, ever seen shakespeare in love? possibly the sappiest, most depressing, and slightly lovely romantic comedy. certainly the best thing i've seen gwyneth in. but then again, i haven't seen gwyneth in much of anything, so....
glad summer is upon you ... can't wait to make plans to come to the island. :- ) college ends june 23, so anytime after then we'll try and pencil in.
much love,
emilea
No penciling. Dates change when you pencil. I want this to be for sure.
Also, I have seen it, but not all the way through. And what I saw I really loved.
Can this be a simultaneous coming to the island?
It can be! I've been hoping it would be!
