"How is it December 2nd already?" seems to be a phrase thrown around a lot today. I have seven days of school left. seven. that is madness. (then a week of finals) I am feeling kind of at home here, happy with the friendships here...I think.

Now I am fleeing to the mountains. I have been thinking that it is kind of bittersweet to be leaving my new friends. But, it is definitely more sweet than bitter. The academics here have been...mediocre so far. I really want everything I know to be challenged; I want to learn to think in a new way. I think the academics at the High Sierra campus will be more challenging for me, and I am thrilled about that. Have I written all this before? I feel like I probably have. Or maybe you are thoroughly confused. I don't know.

I think I like this campus alright. I just like fewer people and more trees better. I also like clean air better.

I am not writing well this evening, and it's annoying me quite a bit. sometimes words come easily for me, and sometimes I can barely grasp the ones I need.

Well, since I don't know what else to write... if you feel like visiting Yosemite or the Ansel Adams Wilderness, you should do so between January and May and come visit me in Bass Lake!
