Back to the IC
I woke up at 6:45 this morning to go to breakfast with my dad before heading back to Iowa City. We went to some crappy Village Inn in Aurora. I had pancakes, he had an omlette. We talked, and I realized how much I miss him when I'm not home. It's crazy how we went from fighting almost everyday last year to being friends. I admire my dad in so many ways, he is such a brave person. I am glad that we're getting along, and that we're building a friendship. I love him so much, and considering what the two of us have been through, we are stronger than ever. I'm lucky to have him. It makes me sad sometimes, because I wonder what it would be like if my mom were still around. It's hard to imagine a life different from the one that I have. What would I be like had my mom lived? I don't know. And honestly, it's hard to predict how I would have turned out. There's really no use in trying to imagine different scenarios, because none of them are even remotely realistic. But it's a beautiful thought to think about life with a happy ending, or at least something like that.
My flight into Iowa was miserable...small plane, cramped...I couldn't fall asleep, it was absolutely miserable. Plus, DIA was so crowded because everyone and their brother was flying out to go on spring break. UGHHHHH ANNOYING!
It's good to be back at school, oddly enough. I am ready to finish out the semester, and my first year in college. It's so bizarre to think that the year is almost over. Unreal how fast time flies. I have to start figuring out what I'm going to do with myself this summer. I guess I can get the ACLU of Colorado internship if I want, and a job at the mall or something shitty like that. I'll figure it out soon enough, or at least I hope to.
I'm so exhausted I don't even know what else to write, but I have to get some rest. I have a speech to write tomorrow (and give on Tuesday) plus I have about 98234 pages of reading for the week, so looks like I'm jumping right back in with full force. Oh the life of a college student...
