Financial Forms and the Lying Washing Machine

Sitting here staring at all the blank spaces on this scholarship form is making me dizzy.
It reminds me of the empty space between my fingers that your hand should be filling.
Just like my chicken scratch should be filling out this two page Mad-Lib of bits of my identity and my family's financial information.

Now I know what you meant when you said you should have waited a year until going to college. I honestly don't think I'm ready.
Only part I'm ready for is putting my clothes in your dresser and calling the Sanctuary home. 
It's funny though, I still don't know where I'm going. I mean, I say I don't because I haven't really proclaimed where I'm going to my parents. But I know it in my head. It's our little secret, I guess.
They can talk about Marshall all they want to. I'm not going there. It's too far away from everything I've ever known. It's like another world. I honestly do not even want to take a tour there. But I'll probably do it, just to have a weekend trip and to humor them. 
I wonder how they'll react when I tell them the truth.

My stomach ache is getting worse and all I want to do is curl up beside you and sleep.
