Song of the Day: Une Annee Sans Lumiere, The Arcade Fire

...and so ends my summer, the best to date. my dad's back off to west virginia, so one of the constant factors for conversation, mindless or otherwise, help and advice, specifically, when it comes to preparing for school, and information, is gone; and betsy's on her way to grinnell for the outdoor orientation program, so the person with whom i spent overwhelmingly more time than any other (except it wasn't a problem, so it wasn't quite overwhelming...) this summer's left, too.

so now i've these stacks upon stacks of junk-reading novels and volumes of college mail through which to sort, but there's nobody to advise me on that, and i've this list of all these incredibly fantastic things to do, but i lack the coolest person with whom i could do them. *sigh*...and, of course, i have to run now, so that takes another chunk out of the best time of day to do stuff--evening--and, talking to timmy last night, it turns out he's off backpacking for a while--up until the day before he leaves for college. so i'll not likely be seeing him again for a few months. kevin's back off the same day that i start school, and we're all going to be far too busy to do much of interest before then. well...maybe i can take a day and organize frisbee or something, but that doesn't strike me as the greatest thing that i could do with such short time to go. you know, before i become wholly swamped with work and too busy to, really, do anything at all. dag. i guess this means lan'll be what i have to which to look forward. hrm...i find this unfortunate.

pssht. so i probably have almost as many, if not, in fact, more, friends entering college than i do in my class, the one with whom i began high school. i was about to list another few things that i've really only done with the other juniors, but that's about where it stops...i never took a whole lot of classes with my year, and i never really hung out with more than a handful of them. the vast majority of my friends, by quantity and quality, is older than me, and now, they've pretty much all left for college. egad, this only...no, wait, it does more than this, but this largely fuels my desire to get into a good school all the more. again, i don't doubt that i'll be able to find cool people wherever i go, but i most certainly, despite my indecisiveness, shall want my options when the time comes. *sigh*, again. i think that i'll go on a run or something, even though i plan on going with the team again tonight. maybe kevin'll be there; he said that he wanted to run with the team again. it'd be cool if he were to show up, and, maybe, i could try to keep up with him. meh...we'll see.

hrm. i meant to watch the sun rise this morning, but that fairly failed when i slept through both of my alarms, one of which was inexplicably off, and the other of which was noticeably moved form its original position on my bedstand (and, of course, off). i'll move them and try again tomorrow morning. that'll give me a better sense of closure to the summer.

and so...i'm off. i'll not call this the end quite yet, but...well, you know.
