(no subject)
I am ready to leave Alabama... for only a couple of weeks though. I'll be going to visit relatives in Colorado and I couldn't be more anxious for Christmas break to get here so I may do so. It will only be my mother's side gathered for this reunion, but even if I was able to spend time with only one of them, I'd still go back.
I long to be with my family for I get so few opportunities to see them.
I want to play in the snow.
I want to drive across more than just Kansas during the road trip this time (I usually let my dad sleep through the boring parts because I love him).
I want to cook in the kitchen with my grandmother and catch up on things that only grandmothers and grandaughters can talk about.
I want to give my little cousins piggy back rides and ask them about the wonderful things they've learned in school.
I want to fall asleep every night with a book in hand..... that doesn't include theorems, formulas, or equations.
I miss laughing with my aunt and uncle and helping them pick on each other.
I want to go to church with them all.... I miss that the most.
My heart needs warmth.... I'll just have to wait two weeks to get it.
But in the meantime I'll get through exams by stepping on crunchy leaves, listening to Christmas carols, spending time with my best friend before she leaves me for two months, and praying.
And when I get back... I'll spend five blissful days a week in a hospital as a pre-med intern. The anticipation is devouring me and I'm forcing myself to savor the assigned reading I have for the internship.
Boy oh boy was I born without patience....
