the hole

As i move closer and closer to getting the hell out of this hole known as the greater Tilton-Northfield area, it seems to be getting farther and farther. I know that quite literally i am only about a year or so away from leaving this dump behind, but every time i think of enduring another year at the so-called "saltmine", my soul nearly crumbles in despair. It isnt that i hate WInnisquam, i actually enjoy it a lot. And it certainly isnt the people there, because i love the majority of my teachers and fellow classmates. It is simply the fact that i have been here forever, and i don't want to continue being here forever. I believe that i have the worst possible case of Cabin Fever in history.

Part of me wants to simply get up and leave, then come back in a month or so when i have seen other places. However, i know that that is not a good plan at all, considering what the consequences would be, which could possibly include getting stuck in the hole for another year for missing final exams.

I hate this place, and i cant wait to show the world what im made of.

Some men work for the greater good
or what they believe to be so anyway

Others make way only for themselves
and bathe in their riches

Some men find the median
and become a part of the growing middle class

Still, others find happiness in money
and their feeble minds may be fulfilled

Some men work hard to support a life
only to fail time after time

Others walk into a family fortune
and begin yet another generation of misinformation

Some men find themselves stuck with great power
and use it wisely for the greater good

Others use it foolishly
and drown themselves in glutton
