well, im back in bellingham. i missed home. i love it here. but, i had such a wonderful time in iowa. it was so great! it sounds weird. i told kornel that i had a "fabulous time" and he said that "iowa and fabulous dont belong in the smae sentence." it's true. it's true.
i got back to washington on monday the 29th. my nanny family picked me up, and then i spent a few days in auburn. we played in the snow and had fun. i love my family. :)
then i got to party with the ol' gang for new years. it was fun. i saw jon for the first time in like 2 1/2 years... weird.
i came back to bellingham on the first. ahhh... :) my home is sweet, but tomorrow im gonna be scrubbing all day... and i dont didnt use to do bathrooms... =/ damn roommate...
today i took it easy, and just cleaned up and put all my shit away. then janelle, laurel #1, and i had a fun cooking night. they left when we looked outside and saw all the damn snow!! ahh!
so, im back to unpacking and shit...i had a lot to unpack! ugh... but i feel so fortunate to have received so much for christmas! i was really fucking spoiled!! =D here's a short rundown on the excitement: a new queen mattress set (no more floor)!!!, a columbia winter coat!!, great wok set, sushi set, spongebob first season on dvd, and lots of iowa state university apparel (?!?). and the best surprise--> ken, my favorite older brother, and his wife are having a baby! it's their first. and im thrilled about it!
god, i had such a good time in iowa.
i gotta admit im a little home sick. maybe a lot. it's weird, i never imagined this could happen. i am SO happy here, and i really love my life. i think my brother expecting a baby put things in perspective. i dont wanna be so damn far away. i cant stand seeing them all only once a year. =/ god. i know that i cant live in iowa though. come on. maybe on the water in illinois or wisconsin? or somewhere. i have no clue. i need a big city and diversity. i cant imagine moving though. ugh. i dont wanna start all over again! some ideas that have popped into my head are going to a different school. i dont mean leaving western, but maybe doing an exchnage somewhere or going to grad school closer to iowa. it's a lot to think about. and who knows. this all came pretty suddenly, so i cant just jump into anything... it's just that i was in iowa for 12 days and i was sad to leave and wanted to stay longer. im growing up, and practically ready to get out of school and start my own life. i guess ive been grown up for a long while and started my own life when i left iowa, but ya know. im scared and anxious....
but this quarter is gonna be insane. of course. but prolly more than usual. but after this it's all down hill (ha).
i have a headache. theyve come back full force since i left for iowa. (hmm, coincidence?!) =P
i just stopped a sec to hear the lyrics of this song im listening to-- "and i will not turn my whole life upside down." yeah. chill out. make the best of things now. carpe diem.
