Knitting (and more)

I'm learning how to knit. Which is crazy-awesome, even though I'm mediocre at best, but I'm learning, and that's what matters.

I've also decided on a college, which feels weird. It wasn't my first choice, I almost didn't even apply there. But I've fallen in love, and while some small part of me still says "what about the others?" I know I will love this college. It may not have all the fancy traditions of some of the others, but it's beautiful and everyone there is so nice and lovely.

I also only have about 26 school days left (not weekends). I'm terrified. Really, honestly. Now that the end of the year is this close, I don't want it. I'm going to really miss some of the people at my High School.

This post is turning into something quite random, but two weekends ago (4/15) I saw The Cabin in the Woods and it was one of the most fantastic pieces of film that I have seen in a while. I can't say anything about it, but go see it! (Unless you really, really can't stand anything even sort of scary).

Visions of the Woods

The birds flit down from the clouds,
holding petals and pieces of
worn-out parchment.

The girls dance in the meadows within,
carrying laurel and roses, bouquets
for the lost.

The trees are just beginning,
seeds showing their leaves,
from the ground.

And the rain comes--
a flood, before anyone can
escape, it takes them.

The petals float among the gray
waters, until they become
sodden and torn.
