It's good to be home.
Actually, "good" may be too strong of a word.
It's different to be home.
I think this semester may have sucked my very soul from within my body. It was probably the toughest few months I've had in a long, long time. But Skonkol and I were talking about it, and I said "It's funny how life can put the most amazing people by your side, at the times when you need them the most." And it's so true.
I honestly don't think I would have made it through these last couple months without my amazing friends. Karma put Mary, Laura, Corey, Skonkol, Kmetz, Lonnie, Spence, Steve-O, Kelly... and everyone else in my life right when I needed them. They all have the strength that I didn't have. There were those days when that aching inside me was so heavy that it felt like I could barely stand up, but there they were to hold me up... sometimes literally.
Like I said, it was a trying semester. But I pulled through it. And I've got a game plan for the next one. I gave myself a little bit lighter class schedule. And I'm working on a few personal/professional changes as well... like learning to say, "No, I don't think I can do that today." or "I'm actually quite stressed out right now." or "No, I'm NOT fine."
But now I'm home for a while. It's odd, really. My parents seem to have gotten older and unhappier in my absence. I know I'll be going back up to school much earlier than either one would like, but I think it's for my own sanity. Also, I need to keep plugging along on all of my Ludacris work. I really need to keep on top of everything for that, so that I can avoid any extra stress come closer to show day.
Well anyway. I think that's enough rambling for tonight. My head is still kind of fuzzy from that cold. Goodnight.
