Do you ever just want to get away? Just be around a new environment, new people, new everything? Just for a bit, to take a break. When it all gets to be too much, sometimes I just want something different. The image of just driving, anywhere, with the windows down and the music blaring, cliched as it may be, is what I think of when I think of just getting away. I don't know why...maybe because that image is synonymous with freedom and letting go of everything for a while, and just driving.
Maybe the stress of applying to college and the same-old, same-old that is high school has gotten to me today and I'm venting. Or maybe I'm just tired. Tired of a lot of things and just plain worn out. Whichever it is, just getting away sounds pretty good right about now.

ps. Maybe Dostoyevsky got it right when he talked about taking a breath in "some other world, no matter what kind, and even if only for a moment".

Read On The Road and plan a trip across the USA this summer before college. You'll never regret it. And don't forget to smile because you have good teeth :)
i am feeling the same way molly. i just came home today and cried and vented to my mom. i've been so stressed lately and i'm in much need of a getaway too. i have refused to do my homework tonight because i need a night to myself (now that i've already called out of work). the only thing i've done productive is bake cupcakes. and as soon as those are done, i'm going to bed.
I like this post a lot. Why do we have to manage getting into college with school at the same time is preposterous.We have spent the last 12 years of our life managing school work, sports clubs, life, work and stress on top of all of that. We deserve a break.
Wow I can not write clearly tonight.
