"i had a dream that i was your neighbor.."
i'm supposed to be studying for my textile products class, in which i am having an exam on thursday, but i just can't seem to get into the subject..
i feel like i've been really blessed lately. i think my senior year in college has been my best one so far. in high school i think it was too. maybe it was the knowledge of the imminent change: graduation, and then a new life.
i'm really happy with the people that i've come to know in san marcos, and it's surprising to know that most of them are of my faith. i had NEVER had friends in the church before like i do now. it seems like that's all the friends that i have now, and this is so new to me. usually in the past i didn't get along very well with the people from church. that's all they were to me, and i'm not sure i could call them friends. but ever since i have moved here to san marcos and attended tsu, i've been surrounded by really good people that bring me up.
i have missed my brother a lot while he's been on his mission and i am so excited that he's finally coming home, in less than a month! i wonder how much he's changed. will he look very different? probably not. but he's going to be a different person, in a good way. i look forward to the thanksgiving dinner we will be having at my parents' house mainly as a welcome home party for my brother. i really consider him my best friend. sometimes i get down on myself when i think that i don't have a best friend. i used to, all the time, but now i don't. i have close friends, but not someone who automatically pops into my head when i think of a "best friend". isn't everyone supposed to have one? but i've realized that joseph always has been. i was closer to him than any other siblings. i remember that we moved schools a lot, and so we would always have each other.
my oldest brother is getting married in march. at least i think (and hope) that he is. he's been having some problems/miscommunications with his fiancee and i've been encouraging him to talk to her about it. he seems to just want to call it quits because things get difficult. but isn't that what he's committing to do when he gets married? you have to work things out if you're serious, you can't just walk away. maybe this will be practice for them for the future. i really hope this works out for them, i think they make a good couple and i know they care about each other.
i've already registered for my last full semester of school and i'm so excited! after this spring semester i'm doing my internship and then.. starting my career. that seems scary. and exciting. time is going to fly faster than i can measure to that last day of school.
i'm on my way now to a dinner with some old co-workers. i could have just skipped that and instead gone to the gym like i wanted to, but i'm making an exception. it'll be good to see them again.
until next time, my friends.
