Journal NecroArwen's Journal: To return home... 1
Plans are being made to return home from college for a month over the summer. Alas. There are so many things to worry about... shipping, luggage, tickets, time, and most of all, leaving friends behind. I will miss so immensely the few people here that make me laugh and hold me when I'm sad. The end of the school year here approaches with my apprehension, as a war might to a small country or an owl towards a mouse. I am the damn mouse!
Tonight four of us went swimming. For some reason, I resisted the idea immensely, as did another. For some reason, it is very easy to believe that it is not fun to swim, but once you get in the water you fall in love with it. I used to wonder why parents never really went swimming... and then I got older and started turning down the opportunity... and now I realize that for some reason, the hassle seems too great for the mere prospect of paddling around in a pool filled with plain old water. To dress in a revealing swimsuit, wreck the hair, get all chloriney, and undergo such other annoyances is extremely consuming, and it is easier to forget the joy of being in the water than to do the work that it entails. I hope I don't forget how wonderful the water is.
