Gah! The stress! It's basically taking over my life.

If I only lived in the moments. Quietness......Trees......right now the leaves would be orange.......a trickling creek nearby....... I wanna escape there.

But I like the noise.....the busyness of the day mixed with the sound of friends gathering.....children laughing.....music coming from different directions.....I live with this noise.

But I just need to escape please.

I need the woods, or just the silence of the breeze.

But I have to write this paper. Which is on my computer. Which has to be plugged in. Which unfortunately can't happen outside.

Dear Mom,

I will be going to Sewanee with you.
