Rant and Rave

Well...today was suppose to be my last day of work, but the boss-man asked me to stay until wednesday because i have to work on some project that could make the company some money, oh well. Today was such a great day, i had to wake up at 5:45, but i went to boone and all 20 of the full time workers canoed down the des moines river for 15 miles. It felt so great to get outside and deep into nature. I loved having the feeling of peace once again, just like i did last year up at the Boundry Waters.
School--the dreaded word. It is going to be one hell of a time up at Ames, and a great place to start over my crazy life of mine. I am kind of scared for the road ahead, and almost frientened to think that i start school in less than 2 weeks. It seems that i am the only one that isnt going greek, and i hope everyone loves every minute of the greek life. But i believe that i need structure and a little less commitment my first year to get my head on my heels. I just want to start out being a freshman(once again) out on the right track. I cant wait till i get to have some wicked partys, but i also cant wait to start some classes that make me think harder than Home Economics and Government.....what a waste of time. I have come to a point that i want to start learning in what i have been assigned(or assigned myself), and hopefully i can not dissapoint my parents. Oh, my parents....thanks to them i have wasted a complete summer in a dank, rotten corn field avoiding my friends that are probably having a time of their lives and loosing a girlfriend who meant so much to me. All of that time is gone, gone making money--not even enough to pay for one fucking semester. My parents say that i will have enough and they will "help me out if i need it". How about loosing my entire savings, what i have saved for many years--gone in less than 3 months just to pay for classes to help me for the future. Parents--one thing i am glad to get away from while up at my new home.
I will miss all of the friends who i am leaving behind--and they know who they are. I wish i could see them everyday just to see how they are doing and see what is happening back home....my home.
I was born in Ames, and now i return to start a new life....but my heart is always here, with my friends who i have grown up with for the past 10 years. I dont want to be the same old college bound kid that leaves everyone behind, because i want none of that.
