Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest..

This may sound lame (actually I know it sounds lame) but I think today I was able to pinpoint the day that I became an "environmentalist" of sorts, or at least discovered my profound love for nature.

I was walking back from chemistry exam in the torrential rain and wind when I crossed that little wooden bridge that goes over College Brook and noticed it was flowing faster than I've ever seen it. For some reason that song from Pocahontas song "Just around the river bend" got stuck in my head. Fast forward to the train ride to Woburn when I had my iPod on random and strangely enough "Colors of the Wind" came on (another song from that wonderful Disney movie). And of course, I knew all the words from when I was a little kid and I realized that even when I was six years old I was able to see the deeper meaning within the lyrics. Yeah, whatever, you can laugh because it's just a Disney song, but it's a damn good one.

In other news, I just came back from the most terrifying drive of my life which was way longer than it should have been. Neither of my parents were home so Ala and her boyfriend Bill had to come pick from the station. Mind you, Bill is a TERRIBLE driver and it was raining really hard and the sun had already set as well. So I was sitting in the back about to shit myself while Bill was doing 50 down main street in Wilmington and Ala was sitting comfortably in the passenger seat not phased at all. On top of fearing for my life, I also had to worry about my car, because my mom thought it would be a good idea to let Bill take my car instead of his. 

One more thing: every single time I come home, something is different about my room. It is hardly even recognizable anymore. A few changes here and there didn't really bug me, but now I have Ala's stuff all over one of my desks and the other one has HER computer and books all over it. So where am I supposed to keep my computer and stuff? I was already on edge and I kind of yelled at Ala about it, and she said, "What do you care, you don't even live here anymore." What the fuck? Apparently with her new bed and dresser in her room she has "no space" and will be occupying mine instead. Thanks for consulting me.
