To do

as reply to Other Possibilities

College gave him other possibilities but also reinforced where he was in the world. He watched people study abroad or go on ski trips and he realized that would never really be him. 

Just like high school an invisible line was drawn. But unlike high school it also felt like others were his same side. 

He told a girl this at a house party. And she just replied “fuck the ski party. Who cares.” They slept together later. Tried to organize a date later but then finals happened and then she went home for the summer.

He on the other hand had found a sublease with a guy who was going to work for Obamas campaign. His dad told him “now thats a way to spend a summer.”.

It was a nice enough apartment, had four bedrooms most of the roommates were gone. 

The apartment complex had a pool so he’d go there a lot. That summer he thought he would train for a iron man. Not a full one, so he’d swim everyday. There was nothing else to do.
