Indian Springs School: http://www.indiansprings.org It's a really wonderful place to go to high school.

In which John Green returns to his high school alma mater, Indian Springs School, to investigate its connections to his first novel, Looking for Alaska. (LfA is set at a fictional school called Culver Creek, but the physical place is very similar to Indian Springs.) Also, he gets stung by a bee.

DO YOU KNOW THAT CHRISTIANITY IS CORRECT? THE WORLD AROUND US REVEALS THAT GOD DOES EXIST, AND THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE REVEALS THAT JESUS CHRIST REALLY DID COME TO THIS EARTH AND THERE IS OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT HE PHYSCALLY ROSE FROM THE DEAD. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN AND THE SIGNS OF THE END TIMES THAT WERE FORETOLD IN THE BIBLE ARE COMMING TO PASS, AND THAT ISLAM IS THE ANTICHRIST SYSTEM!

I read Looking for Alaska and im really amused at how my thoughts on how the place looked in the book to how it looks are astonishingly similar. And the book is one of the most fantastic things ive ever read. Dftba

Yeah, bees are really passive when unprovoked. Unless you are invade their hive or frantically flail your arms at them, they should just leave you bee.

this is the only youtube video that i cried on. john, your words are what i want to hear myself saying twenty years from now. except for that bee sting.

His description of his school in this video really just sounded like he was writing another story. "I could tell it had been a while since anyone had been here, because the briars had grown into a tangle over the path," just as an example.
