Beyond

Hurl your body into space
let gravity melt away until it feels like a silk scarf
don't worry, it won't choke you if you don't let it
just close your eyes and spin
rotate like the Earth
spin like a petal falling upwards
Your organs will glow through your skin
you'll look like a lightning bug from far away
glowing red and pink
the sun incarnate.

I had my WISE presentation yesterday, it went extremely well...My parents had shown up, as well as some of my friends (Connor, Sydney, Nick) and my lovely boyfriend. The only person who was missing was Doster, my mentor...He had known of my project for a while but had told me 2 days prior of his Prom meeting, therefore not being able to go. No sore feelings, only slight disappointment.
Everyone liked my short films, I should post them on Youtube sometime.
I gave out Kettlecorn and lemonade, and talked about the last 16 weeks of my life. It felt nice to be able to ramble on for 45 minutes, but afterwards, going home with Dylan, I had to take a nap, tired from running around all day in preparation.

I've been getting anxious about the summer...Dylan is leaving the same day I do, except only we are going very different directions. He, to summer term at our college, and I to Europe.... I'm excited but nervous. I want to do a lot of traveling alone, but I know I'm too naive for travel abroad just now, I should wait 'till I'm older, or maybe 'til I can go with a friend.
We go to London, then Amsterdam, the Paris, then Italy, taking a Mediterranean Cruise around Greece, after that, coming back to London.
