Mar. 13th, 2007 09:52 pmLittle did I know, my time in Jasper was a social experiemnt. One that would, admiitidly, be in the running for a Ig Noble prize as mucking about with your life is not a v. good idea, no matter how much you want to see the results.
Anyway, the conclusion has just came forth to-day. My hypothosis was that if I did not get attached to the place, refuse to put down even the smallest root, I would not be sad to leave.
To-day I have proved my hypothis false, without a doubt. I am not particuarly attached to the people, nor to the buildings or the grounds or the culture. Yet I am still gut-wrenchingly sad to leave.
It only took three years to run the experiment, and another year to get the results. But I think, in the shape of things, it was an worthy experiment to run though never, ever an experiemnt to be replicated.
I would put the exact circumstances of the final results, but... I've already made multiple scenes today and I don't feel like making another one right now.
