Between Here and There
November 16, 2011
Studying for the AP Psychology exam had commenced though the semester final was a ways away. Our desks were pushed together in groups for note-taking. "Why don't we each do a chapter, then make copies for everyone?" I suggested. "If we each do two, we'll spend less time writing and more time studying. And I already have these." My ring of word cards with every last vocabulary word landed on the table with a thud and everyone suddenly nodded in agreement with my idea.
It was in the midst of re-formatting my prior notes for Chapter 18: Social Psychology when my phone buzzed. One look at the screen made my heart leap a little.

The level of notes to be done meant social media could wait until after class. Anthony was a slight exception though, because he was always travelling for the military. At first he was around often. But then he got a bunch of assignments in different states. Despite all that he was still making time for me, and so I swore to myself that I'd always make time for him. Our conversations ranged from short, meant for catching up, to hours long, exploring the deepest parts of ourselves with one another.

I know, I know. But consider it at least.
You'll feel so much better, less weighted

But put your phone away before you get
into trouble again x
