Good times...
I officially finished my first year of college. I've been home since last night. So far my grades for this semester are looking pretty good. I know three of them already and am just waiting on the other three. I admit, it's a bit weird not being at Geneseo anymore. I still feel like this is just another short break and I should be going back in a few days. I'm going to miss seeing some of my Geneseo friends as often as I did, like Hannah since she's so far away. Although luckily Tim and I are still supposed to go to Long Island and visit her :) And I didn't really get to say goodbye to Pat because he didn't make it up to the field before I left. But I know that all of us will be there again next year, so at least I know that I'll be seeing them all again. Besides, we all said we'd keep in touch over the summer. Anyway being home is both good and bad, just like I thought it would be. I love some of my friends here at home too, so it is amazing to be able to see them often again. Besides, I really have changed from being at Geneseo and it makes this much easier for me. I'm more comfortable, more independent, and just happier overall. I know that some painful memories always seemed to haunt me when I was home, but I finally don't feel sad like I used to. I've made some positive changes and it has really helped me. Things can never be perfect, but I feel great and I am glad that things have turned out this way. I know I have had a lot of worries about possibly having regrets about decisions I have made in the past, but all those worries seem to have left me. I am very happy with the way that things have turned out and I realize that if it hadn't been for all the decisions I made, I wouldn't be in the place I am right now and I wouldn't be as happy as I am right now. So, even after all my issues with people and my life here in ER, things have still turned out very well for me. I'm just really thankful that I have such great friends here and have found such great friends at Geneseo. My life wouldn't be the same without them :)
