A Day in the Life (In Another Land)

It's Summer, the season of shorts, Popsicles, slip-n-slides and sunshine. Sounds perfect doesn't it? Well, not particularly. You see if you're a high school graduate whose days are numbered until you start the unforeseen world of college life, then summer vacation could mean one of stress and separation. I'm trying to make the most of my time before the chaos starts up, but to tell the truth I'm not doing anything special. I'm setting around the house and I still feel stressed. Summer vacation really means more free time to think...and with my thoughts comes anxiety. Most of it is probably for no reason, I mean I'm not even leaving home. Nope, I'm staying nice and cozy in my own room with college less than a fifteen minute drive away...but it could be Antarctica for all I care, cause I can only think cold thoughts. Thoughts not even psychedelic rock from the free spirited 60s could ward away. I know it's not San Francisco but I'd just as soon show up with flowers in my hair hoping to meet some gentle people there. It's not the people, most of my friends are coming with me on this noble quest, it's not really even the (quite typical) classes....I'm not sure why I'm getting myself so worked up about it, but I am. I guess it's the thought of all these changes happening all at once and 'Pushin' Too Hard'. But the time has come today to live and let live. And when I do take my magic carpet ride to college in August, I vow that I will NOT have a psychotic reaction. Yes, when my strawberry alarm clock rings for class awaiting I will go with ease. I will look forward to the kaleidoscope of change and diversity in front of me, and get by with a little help from my friends. I simply had to much to dream last night, but I certainly won't be feeling like I'm fixin' to die by the time this sea of madness rolls around. I may not be experienced just yet, but these things take time and I'm sure that in time they shall come (and come to pass). Wow, I guess it really does help to vent. So, that's all for now. And for all of you who picked up on all the 60s music (and bands) I dropped, give yourself a hand. =]
