nowhere

I realize now that Asheville zip codes are not the same as asheville city limits, so just because Erwin High School is in Asheville according to its street address doesn't mean it is actually in Asheville. I guess it just means it's not in Leicester (whose boundaries would be by zip code because it is unincorporated) and it's not in Asheville (which gets to decide where its boundaries are and i know where they are -- they're where the Welcome to Asheville sign is near the laundromat on Leicester highway). So Asheville zip code is not Asheville city.

Which means Erwin High School is actually ... nowhere.

This is not really related. But a million times I have wished I had a map of Buncombe County's school districts so I knew where the Erwin district melts into the Asheville and Enka districts.

Because that is the community I spent my most formative years identifying with. Not Asheville. Not Leicester. That amorphous consolidation of urban and rural and whatnot that is the Erwin district. Those are my people.

Sorry I was grouchy in class today. Hungry. The actual stuff we were learning was awesome.

My dad is showing up at my house tomorrow at 5 am to go hiking on the AT. He wants to be in north Georgia and on the trail by 8 a.m. great. so if I looked tired in class it was preemptive.
