one day, in october, as she was jamming in her room (just above mine) in preparation for music class, V brought me to tears. and as i was emailing and chatting with friends back in the states, lamenting about being homesick and missing everyone i know and love, V started to play green day's good riddance. you all know it, everyone's heard it and played it at one appropriate time or another...
another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
so make the best of this test, and don't ask why
it's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
i hope you had the time of your life.
so take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
for what it's worth, it was worth all the while
it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
i hope you had the time of your life.
due to the thickness (or lack of) of her floor/my ceiling, it felt like she was singing directly to me. and so the waterworks began. it was perfect timing; the homesickness ended and i realized that yep, i am having the time of my life.

as spring has sprung, i know all too well how the coming months will fly by. even though it's not until june 17th, the end of school is literally just around the corner. calendars are filling up, summer plans are being made, new jobs are being obtained (by those lucky few) and people are deciding how and where they will go next. it's going to be so soon that we all (or most of us, at least) leave trieste and begin to conquer new places and pursue new ideas and goals.
even though i don't know where i'll be and what i'll be doing after this summer, i know that i won't be surrounded by all the amazing people that have come to be my family this year. and although trieste wasn't our favorite place to be during the dreadful winter months, we made it our home. it's sad to think about leaving the home and the family that i only just finished establishing here so it's nice to know that most everyone is also leaving and we are going our own ways.
and hey, that just means more people to visit!
