Christmas
I hope everyone had a very good Christmas. For me, I know, it was the best I've had in a long time. I got to spend Christmas with some wonderful people. I've been making sure I'm spending time with my sisters and of course my parents. It was good to see old friends at both church services. And I'm so happy Chris went to the Candel light service with me. Spending the first few hours of Christmas together was awesome. =D I went to Kristie's yesterday to find Alana and Travis there. It's wonderful being able to catch up with old friends, and Kristie's family makes me laugh and smile. I'm glad I know them.
And with this Christmas, I realized I have a wonderful gift. And that's all the awesomely wonderful friends I have. All of them make me laugh and smile and happy, but most of all they support me and my decisions. I would use this post to recognize all of you but instead, I have to use it for something else.
I'm not going back to Roanoke College in January. Why? because I'm not happy there. you know something is wrong when you call your dad 4 to 5 times a day or freak out when you can't reach him. You know you need to go home when you can't help but break down at least twice a week because you're still home sick. And it's not just the home sickness that has gotten to me, but also the people that attend Roanoke, and how things are done there. Yes, Roanoke is picture perfect, yes they have a pretty good public affairs dept., yes I have met two WONDERFUL FRIENDS there. But really, the negatives outway the good. I've been thinking about this for some time, so don't act like this is just out of now where. I've applied to several receptionist posstions in the area and I have applied to NOVA. I just need my final english placing befor I can pick classes. IF i get the job I'm lusting after, I will be working 8 to 4:30 M-F, and taking online NOVA courses. If I don't get it, I will go to NOVA full time and work part time at Kohl's or some other retail place. I'm much happier being at home. And yes, I'm planning on transferring later on. I just don't know where yet. But at least I'll know what to look for when I do.
My deepest apologies to Apple and Mango (whom I still have to call...) I know I promised I would stick out until the end of second semester before i made a decision, but I know I won't last that long. I'll come down and visit enough though, and we'll have some awesome weekends. =D Same goes for Suzanne. I'll come down often enough to hang out and I'll bring Meaghan and Francia down. =D
