Hello from the Annex! (thats my clever way of telling you i moved)
Today was my last day up here. Nothing very interesting happened to me. It was mostly spent cleaning up after my rather sloppy living habits and packing up my various belongings. It has been an amazing stay up here, but I feel like I have said that so much…I don’t really care actually. This place has been incredible for me and I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed living by myself as much as I enjoyed seeing people at night for the play. Overall it was an amazing experience. I just wrote the majority of my “self evaluation” and im trying not to say the same things over and over again so this post will be short. Honestly it was a great experience to not only be up here but to try and catalogue everything into this blog. To all you readers I hope you enjoyed my nonsense (if you bothered to read it of course ahah) it has been a journey and a true experience. Those two things have something in common; they both end. Now that I am returning to the real world I remembered that I am (hopefully, If I pass this,) graduating in a few days. The fact that I will have to leave Proctor soon gives me the same feeling that I feel leaving here. It’s the end of a journey but the start of a new one, maybe even a grander one. So this is the ending to a truly amazing experience that has helped my writing in uncountable ways. For the last time (I think, but who knows I may continue this after senior project is over, after all my book sure isn’t!):

Day 13: Starts and Finishes
Hello from the shores!
Monday was my last full day at mountain classroom. It makes me very sad to actually say that. This place has been my home for the past two weeks and I feel that I really have become a part of it. I love it here, but enough of that I think I will expand more on it later in another document.
Today I spent most of the day wracking my brain to try and come up with a good start to chapter 13. In then end I wrote something down but I think that it is just the start of the idea and I will expand on it, or scrap it completely soon. I finished up another few pages into Chapter 14 as well. Without exception every page that I have written while I have been up here are among my best. Its just been something about the atmosphere at this place that gives me the ability to simply sit down and type out the thoughts in my brain. At school my mind was never focused enough to just sit and write. I was always worrying about a hundred different things and for some reason I pushed this book back and back. That’s the gift that this place has given me in the end; the ability to just sit and think without having to worry about anything else.
So as I sit here at my desk at around 7: 30 I’m reflecting on how much I am going to miss this space and the creations that came out of it. Its been an amazing couple of weeks and the progress that I made on the book can not be counted in mere pages. hmm I like that sentence, think I’ll use it in my self evaluation form which is due on Wednesday. Regardless it’s true. That’s it for now

I wrote all of that last night but the internet was dead again so I’m posting it now along with my final blog entry today.
