Where Is Karlie Going Tomorrow?

Allow me to say what everyone else is thinking: Summer is going by faster than the speed of light. And sound. And a cheetah. Faster than the speed of light and sound riding on a cheetah which is the fastest animal. And they are falling down a waterfall, which maybe would really slow them down quite a bit, but I've been looking at some waterfalls recently and thinking that the water is falling awfully fast.
So that is what Summer is doing, and I know I speak for my fellow soon-to-be-seniors when I say that the faster that Summer goes, the sooner the school year will be upon us, and then end, and then our real lives will have to begin. And let's be honest, no one wants that.

-I've lived in 79 Chase St Apt B for 21 days now. 
-I've spent more time on the telephone with Comcast than I have with my mother.
(Here is where I rant about how NO ONE should ever sign up with Comcast. Just imagine me ranting, smoke coming out of my ears, arms flailing, burning holes in walls with my laser eyes, etc, etc.)
-I've watched more Disney movies and sung along to more Disney songs than I have since I was 7.
-I've swam (swum?) more laps in a pool than I ever have because up until May I didn't believe that fun could be had in a pool if one person wasn't saying "Marco" and a whole slew of sun-burned rugrats wasn't screaming "Polo."
-I have dissected "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" to no end with Claire, wrote 20 pages of a half script, and discarded it, spitting on my copy of the book and shouting vulgarities from the second floor of 79 Chase. (By the way, the SPAE show is now Robin Hood. Either climb on board or hop off the train. We're chugging.)

I've done some other stuff too... like edited Wesleyan's graduation ceremony where the student speaker screamed his entire speech so loudly that I had to cut his volume in half. And I've watched some other movies with some more-than-decent people, observed a woodchuck and a rabbit, and read Eat, Pray, Love-from which I've adopted the Balinese meditation technique of "Sitting and Smiling."

But, my Summer is really about to start tomorrow, when I ship off to Castleton to be an RA at the Governor's Institute on the Arts. I will spend two weeks doing all sorts of bizarre things that I cannot even begin to predict in order to describe to you here. At the VERY least, I will eat three meals a day and put 14 high school girls to bed. What happens in between those markers, well I guess you'll just have to read my blog over the next two weeks to find out.

OHHHHHHH! NICE ONE KARLIE.

Here's something cool that would be very much up GIA's alley.
