jesse told me that he took this picture for me, or felt that it displayed how i see the world...it's so very precious of him.  he said that it could be one of two things: 

1. i am the mushroom and i feel like nobody is really seeing me but everything else is clear
   
2. i can not see the present but i am looking ahead to the future

we had day off school for rosh hashana, which provided a much-needed break.  a little while ago, my euro teacher remarked that he should start "happy tree nymph day" where everyone holds hands and dances around a tree...and the school would have to acknowledge the holiday or else they would be insulting his religion.

justin and i wandered around in boredom last night, looking at scarecrows, walking around town, and eating pancakes and watching tv at this kid's house until my head hurt too much and i needed sleep. today justin, michelle, andrea & i ventured to the king of prussia mall.  luckily it was fairly empty since it was monday morningish.  malls are easily overwhelming. i remember one day when i lived in florida i ended up walking around the mall by myself, crying.  pathetic, yes, but i was just so uncomfortable.  andrea bought half a pound of tea for $30, because she is weak.  but it smelled like cinammony gingerbread sugar heaven, so maybe it was worth it.  my mom bought me some mustard colored tights and i bought a pair of black leggings in preparation for the colder months. we were a little rushed because i needed to get home for practice.  afterwards our team had a pasta party - jenny and i brought our guitars and wrote a song about racing. heehee.

i'm alright, i'm okay, things are fine!! yeah!
