The United States of Caitlin

... how in a school of roughly 20,000 people, I still manage to see tons of people I know. At breakfast I ate with Winson, Ryan and Lisa. I also saw Eric, Jess, Luke OB, Luke B., and Chris. Leaving breakfast I ran into Boris. Coming back from class I saw Morgan. At Grab'n'Go I stopped to talk to Jesse, Mike and Boris. It's the little things like this that make me feel more and more at home at UMass. It makes a huge college feel so much tinier.

I think I'm in love with a boy I hardly know.

I feel weird.

My best friend just told me she's engaged. She's 19.

I feel old. It's begining- the time when my friends get married. We graduate college in a few years. Go into the real world. I feel empty.

Is this the begining of the good times or the end of all the times I loved?

Happy St. Pattie's day.

Another night slips away
In other words I should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words

In his eyes I see the fear
That only time could disappear
If only time could re-appear
Now's the time

Somethin' to take it away
To take it away, to take it
And don't let it stay
Don't let it stay, don't let it

The butterflies
Are passive aggressive
And put their problems on the shelf, but they're beautiful
He'll realize
The only thing that's real
Are the kids that kid themselves
And the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?

The multi-life is better than
The one we're in, the one we knew
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone

They're steppin' on
His gold terrain
He's movin' on with bold refrain
His blatantly old campaign
Is movin' on

Somethin' to take it away
to take it away, to take it
And don't let it stay
Don't let it stay, don't let it

The butterflies
Are passive aggressive
And put their problems on the shelf, but they're so beautiful
And he'll realize
The only thing that's real
Are the kids that kid themselves
And the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?

What can't stay goes away
What can't stay goes away

It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping when it stops stoppin
It starts stopping, yeah.

Er, I'm back.

Not that I actually stayed off of my computer for a week. I didn't even make it 24 hours.

I've been uber busy, though. Getting my room clean before I go back. One week left... has it really been a month? My room is still very messy. Seriously. I never have any motivation. My room is a cold, cold cave. Getting out of my warm bed is so tough. I slept till 7 yesterday.. 7 PM!!! Ahh. All I do is sleep. Sleep sleep sleep. And now I must go and sleep some more.

I'm taking a week off from my computer. I don't know why or how. Either way, I'll be back on Sunday for anyone who cares.
