I want to get off

Driving back to school last night, I felt really old. I know 20 isn't old, but I felt it. It was a culmination of a lot of things I think, my feeling old. I was talking to Lauren about Katie's third anniversary with her boyfriend, and we were wondering if they might get engaged soon. ENGAGED. I felt like Jo March, and Lauren did too. For anyone who hasn't read Little Women, Jo has three sisters and she's the last to get married. Her whole outlook on life was basically that why should they all get married, when they were so happy being together, just being sisters. And I feel like this all the time, who needs boys, really?

Lauren started crying saying that she didn't want to be this old, that one of the Goddard girls was well on her way to being married. And I felt like crying too but I held it in, because it was ridiculous really, us crying over something that hasn't happened yet.

So that was one thing, and the other thing which made me feel old was John. Good old John, this song really spoke to me, and probably every college junior who is stuck in transition...

No i'm not color blind I know the world is black and white

Try to keep an opened mind i just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train i want to get out and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in I know i can

But honestly will someone stop

this train

Don't know how else to say it,

don't want to see my parents go

One generation's length away From fighting life out on my own

Come on stop this train I want to get off and go home again

I can't takethe speed it's moving in

I know i can but honestly won't someone stop this train

So afraid of getting older I'm only good at being young

So i play the numbers game to find a way to say that

life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand You sit
down 68 you'll renegotiate Don't stop this train
Don't follow it moves
the
place you're in I don't think i could ever understand
I tried my
hand John,
honestly we'll never stop this train

See once in a while
when it's good
It'll feel like it should When you're all still around And you're
still safe
and sound And you don't miss a thing so you cry when you're
driving
away in
the dark. Singing stop this train i want to get out and
go home again I
can't take this speed it's moving in I know i can Cause now
i see i'll never
stop this train
