Interlochen February, Day 15: Peace? What's that?

DAY 15
February 16
Prompt: "Your most peaceful moment."

Hmm...this is a tough one. There was very little peace at this school, I can assure you of that. I think the moments when I probably enjoyed myself the most were, ironically enough, the moments that I was alone (ironic because I spent a good amount of time complaining about how "unwanted" I was, being the little angstmonger that I was)--time spent wandering around with my camera, reading at Braeside, painting by the waterfront on a sunny day, curled up reading The Three Musketeers in the Writing House on a snowy night...

But that's not to say that I never had peaceful moments with anyone else. I think breakfasts with Isaac might have to take the top spot in this category...though walking in the snow with Thomas was definitely a close second, and of course watching Mary-Carole play video games was always fun (at least, when I wasn't trying to force myself to do homework at the same time), and I don't think I've ever had a better time at a dance than when I went with Krista and Rachel.

Peace is such a relative term at Interlochen. You're never really settled; everything is always going on all at once and you can either deal with it and keep up, or you get your ass kicked. Finding moments to yourself is always a blessing...but when it comes down to it, nothing beats having your friends there. Even if you don't talk. Even if you're just sitting there reading together, you're still bonding...and trust me, that's something you never, ever want to take for granted.
