A Vacation Sounds LOVELY...

Oct 21, 2009 21:47

My next trip out of Statesboro is not until the week of November 9th. While that's relatively SOON, that's still farther away than I would like it to be, and much further away than I think I can deal with.

In other words:

A vacation would be lovely right about now.

I'm so burnt out with school. I don't want to think about school, I don't want to be IN school, I don't want to be AROUND school right now. It's so hard not having a Fall Break in the middle of the semester. We just truck along from August to November, with only Labor Day off. I haven't had a weekend to myself since the first couple of weeks in September. There's so much I would like to do in my apartment, but my only off days are on Sundays, and even THOSE now are full with stuff to do all the time. I particularly don't mind doing things that often, but in most cases, I have a break to just gather myself in, to just relax. When you stare at the same town for 2 months with NOWHERE else to go, you begin to -- or, well I begin to -- lose your/my mind. And it's a bit of a hassle when you have nowhere to go...

My family lives in California now. I'm the only one here in Georgia. And the thought doesn't scare me more than irritate me, because now I realize what I don't have anymore.

The ability to skip out of town and drive home on a weekend is no longer an option. I AM at home. Statesboro, GA is home for me. I am here permanently. The next time I'll see my family will be when I'm in California for Thanksgiving -- excluding those at the wedding in November -- and then again at Christmas. I've made up my mind that I'm NOT going to California for Spring Break, but instead will do my own traveling over that week. I'll visit my friends in GA and TN, and then go to California for Memorial Day and another holiday over the summer. The rest of the details will be figured out with time.

All-in-all, I'm doing well. Classes are well. One of my friends is moving at the end of the semester, and while I'm happy for them, part of me is rather LARGELY skeptical to it. There's no financial stability involved with this move, and if something goes wrong, the source of help will no longer be just 4 hours away, but 16 or more. I'm just worried that the jump is being made too soon. My happiness extends for them, but part of me hopes it's a well thought-out decision before it's actually made.

I'm trying to write more in here, but time allotments pull me away from my computer, and I've stopped taking it with me on campus; it's too much of a hassle. But I'll try to put my entries closer together.

Peace out, homie-g's.
