the south is very beautiful - clogged with green leaves and moisture.
the dorms where we're staying were supposedly erected in the early 20's. there's an old metal pipe running from either side of the the radiator (?) and there's no air conditioning, only a breeze that sneaks in with the clock chimes and breathes on our feet.
abigail naps serenely. the cars on the highway go by. girls in tshirts and skirts (the ubiquitous uniform of christian ladies everywhere) roam the campus on cellphones. rednecks under the roof stand loudly on the stairs and look down the hallway.
i'm still tired but i've had enough of a nap for awhile. it's 4:30. we might go into downtown and look around for a bit; depends on her. i think she could sleep for days and never worry about a thing.
i'm still wondering why we're here, and later the others will probably wonder the same thing. the more i think about it the more i realize that this is part of the excuse for our parents to let us spend the month of june together. we must have figured that with words like 'family' and bible' our parents wouldn't even question.
before i do raise questions, i'd like to point out that our intentions were nothing more than to get away from our homes and normal lives, nothing beyond that. we're not going to run away to montana in the middle of the night.
although i think about that sometimes.

Ha, yes. All this is too true. I also think part of it, for me at least, is that I was already questioning a lot of faith and church related aspects and wanted to see if those questions were real or just me being out of touch. Lets go to montana.
