I am a paralian...

Before you all worry about how much I've changed becoming a paralian, it just means "one who lives near the sea." And I am indeed one who lives near the sea. Tonight the campus smelled of fresh rain, and I missed the smell of salt water. The campus was filled with mud, and I missed the sand between my toes. The hills blocked my view and reached up to the clouds. I missed the ocean meeting the clouds as far out as you can see. So, I may be here at school, but I will always be a paralian at heart.
