I have been a classic worrywart over the past few weeks, and I'm trying to get over it. Ever see the brand "Life is Good"? I first saw it in Alaska, which I miss terribly (a bit more than San Antonio - sorry, Maritza), and I'm just trying to keep that in mind. I go outside and I just sit and watch the clouds like I did when I was little. I like the simple things.
Senioritis is already plaguing me. Or maybe it's due to the fact that I've gotten to know Buffalo this summer, and now that I have, I don't want to leave. Rochester is a great place for me, due to the independence I first gained there, but now ... I have independence here.
Mary, Val, Joe, Dana, Rachel, Julia, Robin ... hell, I'll even miss "Smoky" and his antics that Val fills me in on (Smoky and I haven't seen each other in a long time ... probably a good thing, or else you would have heard me yelling and screaming at him). Smoky had gotten a job as a painter, but after one day decided that "work was too hard" and didn't go in. He still laments that he is in debt, but won't change. I feel bad for him, there seems to be no way to get this guy to wake up and smell the coffee. Joe has tried, Val has tried, I tried, his family has tried ...
The people I feel even worse for are his twin girls.
In other news, Wednesday nights with Mary ended last week. That last drive there and back was sad for me. I wish I could smuggle the good parts of Buffalo (meaning, the people) and keep them in my room for when I needed them the most. Don't worry, I'll leave Smoky at home.
I've already made two trips up to Rochester to move some stuff in. Soon, I'll be back for good.
