New School = New Life...
So I'm here at the University of Colorado at Boulder, up in the Rockies. Still a little jet-lagged, but I'm surviving. I tell you, I always underestimated how thin air is up at high altitudes, but the climb up the mountains to my classes just about kills me every time. I miss all my old friends at Mansfield and home, but this was my decision to continue my Political Science major with a Pre-Law minor 2000 miles away, and this school felt like the right place for me to be; more opportunities in the long-run. I'm just glad I had a chance to say goodbye to the people that it mattered the most before I left on Friday. My roommate, James (although everyone calls him "Gizzer"), has made it a nice transition and has introduced me to some really cool people, so its been a little easier than the initial transition to college last year. We plan on going snowboarding this weekend, even though I've never done it before. Jealous bitchez? I have to say, I love my classes. The professors here are a bit more credible in their achievements, so they know their stuff and I feel like my education will prepare me a lot more in the long run.
I do know one area where the transition hasn't been easy; Mal. I miss her so much already, and I only said goodbye to her on Friday. I can already tell its going to feel like forever before I get to see her again. But, I guess if you've done the long-distance thing once and survived, you can do it again. At least this time I know what to expect, and there's more of a desire to make it work on both sides of the relationship. Plus I think she's going to come visit me over spring break in March since I won't be coming home until the summer due to monetary reasons. Sucks, I know.
All in all, I'm excited to see how my life in Colorado turns out with only a year and a half left of school to due here in Colorado. To all my friends, I miss you guys already, and you're all free to come visit me to snowboard or just chill with me if you ever want to. I know I wouldn't mind.
