back from the Zoo...
... and the mistake is so much clearer. I got on the train firday morning, and hoped that it would get there on time, so that i could have as much time as possible back up at Umass. It did. As it got closer and closer to Umass, andI started recognizing the area, I got more and more excited. I called Robin form the train to let him know I was almost there. Twenty minutes later, Robin met me at the train station, with flowers in hand. aw.... I gave him a huge hug and a kiss...I almost cried, I was so happy to be back with him in Amherst. We walked back to campus together and as we walked through town I realized how increadibly stupid I was for wanting to leave. Amherst is the best college town in the world...or at least on the east coast of the U.S. When we got to campus, I felt the energy that made me want to go there in the first place, and I thought, "Oh, okay. Please god, accept me back!!!"
We walked into JA (his dorm) and i felt like I never left Umass. And I thought, "oh crap, I have to go back to Lakewood on sunday...boo!" John was nicier this weekend than he was last year, to everyone, Sam pointed, said somthing to the effect of "You!" when he saw me, and gave me a big hug, which I apperciated very much. Maria Christina, Kelly and Lori all gave me hugs. I felt home again.
Maria's Aunt was visiting for her birthday, and we all, minus Sam and Lori, and plus Christina's Sam went to Applebee's, which was Yummy. We , mostly John, Christina and Sam suprised Maria's aunt with a Happy BIrthday thingy, and John stole the bill from Maria's Aunt, which was kinda funny.
After Applebee's, more fun happened. I'll just say that if you want to have fun at the Zoo, live it up. not dangerously, but, only a little, and that makes everything better. Plus it helped that i wasn't stressed at all this weekend, other than the coming back to GCU part, and that was just emotional stuffins. so friday night was a blast....so was saturday morning...for other reasons.
Saturday after Robin and I woke up from a very happy sleep, we went to the New Berkshire...and oh my god, the place looks phinominal, and the food is so much better than at GCU (but that I knew in coming here). We had lunch, then went back to Robin's room, and took a nap. It was nice. a little warm, but nice. Then we woke up, watched Rush HOur 2....(chris tucker is soooo racist in that movie. but it's funny, so i guess it's not so bad.), went and had dinner (it was a long nap), and went to the improv troop at Umass. then we went back, hungout with Kelly, watched some discovery channel, and went back to Robin's room to...sleep.
this morning, we woke up and stayed in bed for a long while just to cuddle. If I had any doubts in the past, they've all been erased by this weekend. It was so hard to get up and stop cuddling. I wanted to stay there forever. but, i had to get up, so, we did, got brunch, and walked to the train station together. He waited with me, and i leaned on his shoulder and cried, I did not want to come back to lakewood, I want to be in Amherst, with him and with everyone else I made friends with last year, and the amazing campus and surrounding town.
Good thing is, when i get back in, I'll be going back in January. And I'll go and visit him once more this semester, he'll be down once before thanks giving, and then christmas break.
you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
it's gone, and I'm taking it back, god dammit!
