Long time....
Today was an excellent day, and I dunno, maybe i should start up my journal again.
Today I went exploring the old buildings of campus with V, Gerry, Steve and David. It was AWESOME and SO much fun. Although now I'm exhausted, and we didn't even get to everything we wanted to! But that's ok, there will be another day.
I should (knock on wood) graduate in may! But I'll still be in EL because I'm getting my masters, but I am looking forward to my new apartment for next year!
Ate dinner and chilled with Jen last night, love her. Ashley graduated last spring and now that Mark has graduated isn't around much, which is weird. Life has ups and downs, defiantly a roller coaster, but I'm holding on tight.
Love the elem school I'm in right now and the kids are awesome too! It's like a little United Nations, very cool. The kids are defiantly rays of sunshine in my world.
Extra long weekend this weekend, yay for MLK! He was awesome.
I've made a lot of progress on my family tree/genealogy work. Over winter break we went to Florida and visited my Aunt and Uncle. They had 10 reels of 8mm film and we watched it. I got to see my Grandpa Austin (who I was never lucky enough to meet) and my Grandmother Cromer together. I also saw my Great Grandfather Norman and my Great Grandmother Maude. I wish I could hear their voices too, but the video was still excellent. I miss them so much, even the ones I didn't get to meet. I love them with all my heart. Various cousins have been very helpful in my research providing amazing pictures, documents, stories and more. I hope that I continue to learn more about them and their lives, and if they are out there somewhere they know how much I love them.
So my song tonight explains how I've been feeling for quite sometime now, even though I fight it, it seems to be futile. Who knows what will be...
[Verse 1]
Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in their own place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So i say you’ll..
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oooh
[Verse 2]
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Oooh
[Interlude]
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
So hear this now
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Come home
