week sixteen
And thus concludes my first semester in college. I can't believe it's already over, well except for a math final I have tomorrow. So much has happened in the past sixteen weeks. I feel like I've lost a lot of my innocense and yet I still feel like I'm not an adult. I want to be an adult, but I know I'm not. I still make dumb decisions in the sake of fun, I live in a perminate summer camp (the dorms) with hellish 12-year-olds, and I still rely on my parents to handle my financial needs. However, I'm not the same person I was when I left, or am I?
Maybe I would have been this way in high school if I had fallen in with the wrong crowd, but since I had a good group of moral friends, I kept myself in line. I've losend up on my morals, but my values haven't changed. My grades are good and I haven't punished my body too much except for a few hang overs. Speaking of that, I'm not so big on alcohol anymore. It's fun to be drunk when others are drunk with you, but good insightful conversation can be just as fulfilling. I realized that once I met some intelligent people. They are kind of hard to find when you have a campus of over 50,000.
I'm looking forward to going home for Christmas. I have no money for presents, but I'll try and make something for everyone. My mom called Saturday and told me they are waiting to decorate the tree. The lights are on, but they're not going to hang the ortiments until I get home. I love Christmas, because I get to be with my family and I love my family. That sounds cheesey, but I don't care.
I leave for home early Thursday morning. Addie is coming back with me, so the 6 hour drive won't be so lonely. Plus she can push if my car breaks down. My cousin might hitch a ride as well. Anyways, the next time you here from me, it will be from the comforts of my home.
