Tell Me Not Now
Tell me not now, if love for love
Thou canst return, ---
Now while around us and above
Day's flambeaux burn.
Not in clear noon, with speech as clear,
Thy heart avow,
for every gossip wind to hear;
Tell me not now!
Tell me not now the tidings sweet,
The news divine;
A little longer at thy feet
Leave me to pine.
I would not have the gadding bird
Hear from his bough;
Nay, though I famish for a word,
Tell me not now!
But when deep trances of delight
All Nature seal,
When round the world the arms of Night
Caressing steal,
When rose to dreaming rose says 'Dear,
Dearest,' --- and when
Heaven sighs her scent in Earth's ear,
Ah, tell me then!

So
I have been home since Tuesday. Dustin brought Katie and me to his
house, and then my mom picked us up and brought us back to the Cape.
That night, Katie, Josh, and I went to Wendy's. I can't remember what I
did on Wednesday... Thursday was Thanksgiving. Papa was in the ER, so
he didn't get to eat with us. Tara and Kristina ended up eating with
us. Then after dinner, Marissa, Stephanie, Katie and I saw Twilight. It
was quite awful. I kept making "Mmmmm " noises really loudly when
Edward came on screen. Katie and I kept laughing the entire movie. I'm
pretty sure the 6 other people in the theater hated us. Today I babysat
Kristina from like 8:00-5:00. We went to the mall and I got a new coat
and some undies. And we saw Madagascar 2. It wasn't that good. Their
new puppy is so obnoxious.
I don't have a job for the winter because the bookstore got sold and they have a new manager who doesn't need anymore help. I really would rather cut my throat than go back to Stop and Shop. I applied at Jiminy Peak in Hancock, and plan to stay at MCLA over winter break. My parents are against it, and after I realized that break isn't even a month long, and I'd have to take 6 days out of working for Christmas and my bday, it hardly seems worth it. But at the same time, it is worth it. *sigh*
I am still stressed about homework. I just want this damn wiki to be over with. I finished it yesterday, but the professor commented and said I need to use more of my outside sources and to make it conclude better. I really don't want to look at it anymore. I'm also sick of thinking about my other 2 research papers, but I am SO not interested or motivated to write them. Ok, I am done.
