More to come soon! be patient.

It's time now, to sing out, though the story never ends. Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends.

So uh, this is it I guess. This is really the end. It feels like a chapter in my life is coming to an end, a really important one. But at the same time, like when reading a good book, I feel ready to turn the page and see what happens next. In a few hours at least. For now I'm dragging out the amazingness of my last few hours, with a bunch of my fellow nevermores and nomores, munching junk food with the curtains duct taped shut so patrolling ras won't see our cellphones and iPods orbhear us talking. Not that we'd care much if they did. We are at the end of our time here. It's time to let a new group of kids take our place at the center of cty, raving and dancing and singing and laughing and living and loving. So I think I'm ready now. It's time for me to give my final speeches, say my final gooodbyes, to move into the new chapter if my life. And who knows, maybe I will find something just as amaIng to replace cty, but never in my heart. You guys will always have a spot there. So thank you for everything, to anyone who ever helped make my experiences as wonderful as they have been. These past four summers have been the best thing I've ever had. I will never forget this.

This is going to look so incoherent wheni read this later. Quotes will be coming soon guys.

Traditions, and quotes

So a lot of you know that while I am a cty traditionalist, I am not usually one to lament theloss of traditions too much. Yes, it is nice to see them live on, and yes, I will teach them to anyone who will listen, but I don't feel a need to force the next generations to carry them out, since I won't be here to see it anyway. So I am totally fine with the fact that many people this session don't want to participate in traditions such as It's the End of the World as We Know It and everything, or that some minor canon songs aren't being played. If the new generations aren't into it, it's their loss.
What I am not cool with is the blatant trampling and dishonoring of some of the most important traditions by many people, even including some ras. sure, the guy in the gilly (sp?) suit is funny sometimes. But when people start interrupting other peoples views of the raving during sandstorm, or running around in the middle of the American pie circle, it isn't funny anymore. It is just rude. Some if it can be put down to ignorance of traditions, in which case I understand. But I really think people need to learn tht there is a line between a funny joke and a disrespectful action. I know we can't force people to do traditions, and i don't want to. But i do want people to respect those of us who do participate. it really means a lot to us, and this session has been so fabulous so far, I just hope people realize it and make it even better.

Let's end it on a lighter note with some more quotes, shall we?

"you cut the baby!" -Edward

"you kill bacteria when you go poo!" -Miranda

"a scapular (sp?) ? I thought that was for dissecting frogs!" -Alex

"what was that word? Nihilism? It says here that its synonym is terrorism." -Alex

"isn't Palestinian like a dinosaur?" -Alex

"thick? Like dick with a th?" -Alex (this guy is a goldmine)

"in my country, showers don't do this." -pancho

"has anyone ever tried connecting a multimeter to fire?" -Andrew

The Midpoint

So yesterday was the first time I had been on the Internet in over a week. I feel so accomplished. Except that it was only because I couldn't get wifi to work. (thanks Rhett, beeteedubs).
So anyway, this is basically the turning point of the session, where I start dreading the end instead of waiting for the good stuff to start. (for anyone who reads this who isn't dex, let me remind you that I am at nerdcamp right now. Sitting in study hall, in fact, but I don't really have anything to do at the moment. And I was reading Dexielle's blog earlier, so I decided to do something slightly productive ish.)
moving on. This ending is particularly sad to me, since it is so final. But at the same time, I'm also feeling kind of glad to be moving on. It's weird, but I feel like I'm moving I to a new, older chapter of my life, and that CTY is soon going to belong to the chapter I am leaving behind. But that isn't to say that I will be moving past CTY completely. I most certainly won't be. I'll miss it, I'll spend way more time on pctyd than necessary. But, as I think I have mentioned elsewhere, I'm not going to have some gaping, unfillable hole in me. The amazingness that is this session, with my wonderful hall and class and all the new memories I am making, will eventually become a warm fuzzy feeling I can enjoy fondly. But right now, my mind is more than a wee bit confused about some things. A lot of those are physics related. But also just about my feelings in general, about where I stand with certain people, and about what I will do now.
This post really has no sense. So I'll end it with a few quotes fromthe quotebook. More will come in the future, probably after CTY. (also, let's see how long it takes dex to realize I've actually postdoctoral (I'm not entirely sure what I must have typed for it to autocorrect to postdoctoral but I mean posted. I'm leaving that there though.) this, since he isthe only one who cares anyway.)
