So ...I'm back
I'm feeling rather blue today. It's not like a depressed type of blue I'm just...blah. I feel like theres nothing to wake up for really. Perhaps I'm just getting used to being home again. I need school to start so I can keep myself occupied.
Isle Royale was a blast. I have never been to a more remote and beautiful place ever. Nature just kind of walks right up to you. And I got to spend my time there with my special someone. I had never actually been backpacking before so it was all kind of new to me. I really enjoyed it though. The hikes weren't that long which was ok because we had time to relax too. The whole island is practically made of basalt and various layers of sedimentary rocks...predominately conglomerate. I bought a book at the store on the island on the geologic history of Isle Royale. It's really interesting. I wish I had bought it before we started back packing because then I would be able to identify some of the rock formations easier. Oh well. Leaving it was hard. Espcially with the fact that I had to come back to LIVONIA. The other two people we were with were pretty cool too. Easy to get along with. I just plain didn't want to come home. Andrew took me to the porcupine mountains when we got back to Houghton. It was a nice close to my summer I suppose.
Leaving wasn't easy. When is it?
The bus ride home was a living hell. I didn't think leaving Andrew would effect me like it did. I felt like half of me just died or something. Feeling like that made me hate myself for being weak. It's not like we broke up or anything. We still love each other just as much...if not then even more. I'm just used to talking to him more often. It hurts, especially when you really get along with the other person. We barely even fight. I go from really happy to really sad in less than 12 hours and my mind just doesn't know what to do. Hopefully I'll be better by next week when I have class.
Today I woke up vaguely early to go look for another job. I just can't stay where I'm at now. The gas prices are raping my wallet up the ass and it's getting a little dangerous for me. I really don't make that much anymore at Ruby Tuesday's...and I imagine it will only get worse because even more restraunts are going up. So I went around the schoolcraft area and got a bunch of applications that I will fill out today and turn in tomorrow before I go to work. After that, I went to Kohls and got a few things for myself. And now I am here
I'm tired, so perhaps I will nap.
