"It's a so good bein' home!"
Yes, I find that the words of Jar Jar Binks really come into play here.
I'm currently sitting in my own bed in my home in frozen Illinois. Definitely a change from the Floridian college campus I've been on since September. Even though I've only been home since early yesterday (Sunday) morning, that life is beginning to seem more like a dream with each moment I'm here.
I learned a lot at college, both about myself and in my classes. Most of all, it's seems that being away from home for that long has given me some much-needed self-confidence. I've had to get out of my shell and meet many new people, which I hope to remain good friends with as I go back this spring.
But, what's on my mind right now is what I'm going to do at home for this Christmas break. It seems that I've become some sort of celebrity in my absense, and now everyone wants to spend time with Kat.
"Can Kat come to school?"
"Do you want to go to the movies?"
"I took time off just to spend time with you."
"You're going to go to this Christmas party."
It's all starting to get really confusing. Just a week or two ago, I had a predictable schedule of classes and I knew exactly where I was supposed to be and what I was supposed to do. Now, that's all gone out the window as I'm home for Christmas and I try and find my place.
Here I had thought I had left a Kat-shaped hole that I would be able to fit back into, but it doesn't seem to be that way. Either the hole has been warped from disuse by the lives that have continued to run their course around it, or I have been the one who has changed and I don't quite fit in the hole anymore.
I have a feeling it's a little of both.
Anyway, I think I need to go downstairs for dinner now. It's so strange not to have to go to the dining hall to get food anymore. Just think, no more trays! Amazing.
Ja ne~!
