who i am, right now

well, linda did a fantastic job of making me feel guilty about not posting, and rightfully so. so what is there to update all you folks on...

i haven't started the trial, but i got it in the mail. i'm still reading Sidwalk, which i'm really really liking. i just bought it for myself, along with the MLA (i'm such an english nerd).

i'm graduating tomorrow. this is both a wonderfully happy and terribly frightening experience. there are quite a few people i won't mind never seeing again...in fact, my grade has really been getting on my nerves. but there are people i will miss terribly terribly much. also, i'm finally in a place in my life that i'm stable and happy, which i haven't been in a long time, and now that i am, it all has to be ripped away. not that i'm not excited about going to cornell; in fact, i honestly can't wait. but it's still very harrowing, very overwhelming. so many forms, so many people...and such a new life to throw myself into.

the following people are coming to my graduation: my father (who is president of the school board, and will actually be handing me my diploma...weird, huh?), my mother, my brother, all four of my grandparents, and molly. molly is my girlfriend, another both happy and sad thing. i have a relationship with her like i've never had with anyone else, it's wonderful. but she's going away for the summer, leaving on the 5th for israel, and not coming back until august 11, and i leave the 15th for cornell. i really wish we had the summer together...but there's nothing i can do about it, so...

what else is going on in my life? i'm working this summer at a nature camp, and i'm very excited. i was a camper there forever, and i've been a junior counselor there before, but i've never actually been in charge of a group like i will be this year. i think it's going to be great. unfortunately, i've been lazy/busy and haven't gotten my liscence so i can't drive myself there which sucks a whole lot. but that's my fault.

so yes, post!! and talk about yourselves! and talk about me!! and about farenheit 9/11, which I can't WAIT to see!!! and i'm going to see Raisin in the Sun with molly next week, which should be great. and hopefully i'll see the Frogs this summer. it's a play by aristophenes adapted into a musical by stephen sondheim starring nathan lane and chris kattan!!!! my god will it be amazing!!
