I'm leaving to go back to Claremont on Saturday. Leaving one home for another. But it's weird Because while they are both home, they both lack the feeling of being my one true home. No matter where I am and how happy I am there, when I am in Texas I miss my friends, the outdoors and beauty of California, and the freedoms I have there. When I am at school, I miss my family, pets, and just being in the south. Texas and California are two very different places, and not just in geography. The people here seem so much nicer, so much more genuine and polite. It makes the transition hard. But I do love college and can't wait to get back. There is so much I am looking forward to on my second year.
I really can't wait to move into my new room. It's going to be so nice: it's a big single with air conditioning, adjoining bathroom, and most importantly, it's all mine! Having a roommate is great, but there is something to be said for personal space and alone time. Plus, now I can be loud and practice my guitar and take naps without bothering anyone.
I'm also super excited for my classes. I have a crazy full load: five classes, conversation practice, and a full credit of music. And I'm planning on working part time. But it should be fun. I'm always happiest when I'm busy. Being idle makes me itchy.
I don't get to to home this semester: it just won't work with the schedule. But Mom is going to come visit me at fall recess. Were going to do something fun from the 47 things list. I haven't decided what yet. But I will and it will be amazing.
Tomorrow I have to go to my old high school and bring Kevin lunch and see my old teachers. That should be an adventure. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I won't have to break rule #1: no dying.
More later, probably more interesting when I'm not watching Kevin play halo and therefore killing brain cells by the bucket full.
