Dedicated to Allie!
Michigan was incredible; I just wish I had better timing for when I went on my trip because I feel like I have no time on my hands and I only missed 3 days of school.
In Michigan I feel so at home, so at ease, so alive, and so happy. I feel popular, known, and wanted. I saw 17 friends, and some other ones at this Monday Night School. People remembered me from their trip to California last year and although I recognized their faces, I couldn't remember names. They came up to me with such a warm greeting, and I felt like the rude one who didn't even know who they were. That never happens to me; I felt awful, yet so loved and wanted. I felt like I never have had this feeling, yet I was at the same time, I felt overwhelmed by it all.
Its funny how you see certain people once or twice a year, but you really know them a lot more then you know people you see every day. The whole time, I just couldn't get over the fact that I went to camp with these people back in the summer of 2005, yet all of our personalities are all exactly the same. We don't need Kennedy to act real and genuine. We have each other.
I guess I am afraid to admit it, but the key reason why I am going to live in Michigan for the next four years of my life is because of my friends. I mean is my reasoning justifiable? I deserve to go somewhere where I have security and love. I deserve to go somewhere where I can knock on more than 10 doors and say, "hey, i'm homesick, can I give you a hug?" As much as I want to go to college and meet people, I realized that its more important to me to keep my closest friends closer. Sure, the fact that the two schools I applied to have kinesiology and are big huge schools also narrowed down my range. I think I can manage the cold. I think it is worth it and I shouldn't be afraid.
Okay, since I said that this entry was dedicated to Allie, I will talk about her. I didn't have a ride to the airport, so Allie opened up her house for me and gave me a ride to the airport. We had quite an adventure; I must say it was lovely. Gosh, so many funny moments and good memories that I don't feel like sharing on this blog. I just wanted to share some thoughts since I told Allie I would write an LJ and dedicate it to her.
I want to go back! Although I am really loving my grade lately. Theres a lot of excitement and stress in my life.
Upcoming awesomeness:
Spring Break: 12 days, 14 hours, 41 mins
End of Finals: 60 days, 17 hours, 1 min
Allie's bday: 75 days, 2 hours, 15 mins
Graduation: 76 days, 14 hours, 15 mins
My 21st b-day: 930 days, 2 hours, 15 mins
