Bittersweet

Dear Molly,

      So you've spent a week at Millikan. You're currently at Camp Hess Kramer with your confirmation group, some of your favorite people. You're enjoying yourself. So, Millikan. 1st period English with Mrs. Hickox. She's the QUEST Lead Teacher She's quirky, but hopefully in a good way. 2nd period dance, which is fun. Once you figure out how to do a six step. 3rd period math with Ms. Davis, who's really interesting. 4th period Spanish, and you're way ahead. They're just learning the preterit. 5th Period Bio, where you have a student teacher, Mr. Thyden. He's pretty cool. 6th period orchestra, which is in all honesty kind of boring. 7th period drawing and painting, which is a lot of fun. 8th period APUSH with Mr. Osborn, who seems exactly like Mr. Gillogly, right down to the SMOs. And you were thrown in head first, and already have to think about next year's classes. You were going to take AP Art History, but found out you are required to take Physics, ugh. So that means you'll probably wind up doing AP Bio instead of Art History. But now it's a toss up between Music Theory and Psychology. Hmm. But, overall Millikan is a good change, but you miss Poly.

Song of the Day: Bittersweet Symphony, by the Verve
It's pretty fitting.

Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?

Love, Molly
