I stood beneath an orange sky

I said brother, you know you know It's a long road we've been walking on "
So here in AZ there are really only 2 seasons. Summer and Winter. There's only three days of "in between" weather, and before you know it your skin is burned or you can see your breath in front of your face.
and senioritis is a plague with no boundaries that has hit me and my friends like a suckerpunch. which is why I wore slippers to school today. (in my offense it was only a two hour day, and as soon as i arrived to my resident couch the slippers would have become situationally appropriate so i said "screw it" and rocked my dingy multicolored striped slippers in the school courtyard. blatantly disrespecting dress code. {FYI, I'm kind of a bad ass.})
So I'm chillin in all my classes with the added malaise of sinus infection (because I am a magnet for infectious disease, apparently: sick for the third time in a month!)
and while doing said chilling I was talking to my friend who is going to BU. and the more i talked to him the more i got excited for college. It was kind of different talking to someone who was ostensibly making the same choice I was: going really far away from his family. I was internally excited for school, but talking to my friend allowed me to be outwardly excited, which seemed to be what he needed too. as we kept talking we talked too fast and ran over each other with words. and we decided since BU was only 3 hours away by AMTRAK that we would visit alot. we're the only two kids in our class going to the east coast for college.
It was nice to have a rope to tether me home in a pinch if I need to. (his dad also works for southwest airlines, so free tickets home!)
overall, it was a good day. and judging by the orange sky outside, it's not over yet. :)
more news and posts (with pictures!) are coming soon. (although I'm sure i'm the only person who reads these.....comment and prove me wrong!)
