so, war, perhaps (you mean my phone call didn’t make a difference?) but never mind that right now. i have a feeling this is how i’ll force myself to be all semester/year. i don’t want to be part of the galvanized, indignant left. i certainly am not part of the slobbering, war-mongering right. i don’t want to wear love beads or hemp or laugh at those who do; i don’t want to spray protesters with hoses or be sprayed.
o, apathy.
kross’s party went on last night, despite the rain. banana birthday cake done justice to; cheesecake untouched (people thought it was just cheese, nestled as it was all serene like among the grapes.) some folks danced towards the end. mostly people ate drank and chilled. it worked for me and although it perhaps was not the most rousingly successful of all of kross’s endeavors, i knew the majority of the goodly crowd and so felt comfortable and enjoyed myself. not a small feat.
today i go off to smith, despite the rain, buoyed by a giddy sarah k. hard to believe that break’s starting. i’m skeptical, tho my last class was canceled and i skipped my second to last. but, giving it the benefit of the doubt, i’d better start packing.
