I had a dream last night that I was sitting in concert choir.
But there weren't very many people in there. Just Andres and me and what seemed like the choir kids from my graduating class (but it couldn't have been all of them). We all were sitting in our regular concert choir seats so we were pretty far apart. We sang this song that we had never sang before. We sounded really terrible (kinda like we always sounded when we first started on a difficult song). Andres just did that weird smile that he does and said that we'd get back to it tomorrow. Dave came down to me, and I said, "I'm really glad we get to go get lunch now."
And for some reason it seemed perfect. It made me wake up and really miss high school.
Not that I don't like college, but I miss simplicity. I miss singing terribly and trying it again tomorrow. I miss lunch with Dave and Stephen. I miss having everyone who I have known for my whole life within a few miles. Now everybody is all spread out and that's weird to me.
When I got up, I was thinking about how Columbine's seniors are graduating soon and that means that I'll be done with my freshman year soon. It's gone by really fast. I can remember watching people before me go off to college, and then come back for summer, and go off again, and thinking "I'll never be that old." Somehow I really thought that the time would never come for me. Somehow I wasn't subject to the laws of space and time. I was a time traveler, a Peter Pan; forever young.
But now I'm one of those people who have gone off to college, and is coming back for summer, and then will go off again. But I still don't feel that old.
miss you guys,
love always,
jim.
P.S. Dodgeball tournament today. Wish us luck!
