i am not a force strong enough to stop the revolutions or the rotations of the earth

um, so, i guess New Paltz was okay. i guess a lot of schools would be okay if i looked at them. but, um, the kids are all the same. all the same as in highschool. all the reason why i was ecstatic to get out at 12:30 every day of senior year and haven't been back since the graduation ceremony i was forced to attend under false pretenses (being that my ill grandfather would get out of the house and come up to visit to see me walk across the make-shift stage-- which didn't happen). all the same as the customers at tuesday morning, just in a different disguise.
can maddie survive submergence in a post-adolescent community?
can she withstand the constant barrage of ignorance and self-created drama?
can she sustain some semblance of her true self, even in the face of social obliteration?





maybe that's a bit extreme, but... is it really?

It's not extreme. It's the reason I can't stand going to school myself...

;-; *hugs* I don't know what I was hoping for you- a place where all the students wore wings and halos... or maybe just tried to be adults? I think that was mostly it. *sarcastic* Too bad they don't grow up until after they leave college- what a fabulous experience it *could* be.
