this passed two weeks have been a little crazy. crazy in the sense that i don't think i've done one this that could be considered productive by standard means. i don't start work until june 5th, sooo i'm kinda just on super chill mode for the current moment. i've been basically touring colorado for graduations and its been absolutely marvelous. i've been realizing how much i actually love this place, i've never really seen how beautiful it really is. i've always been so infatuated with the beach and city life i didn't take the time to see colorado for what it really is. so we went to grand junction first, my hometown, my roots for one of our best family friends graduation. my fellow unc-er Christian was up there visiting some of his best friends.... who are in national product. so we got to party with them. crazy beautiful guys. they were absolutely insane, and i loved it. really fun night. this passed weekend i visited my favorite place... craig, colorado. four hour drive to hick paradise and i loved every second of it. the second we got out of the car it was craziness. there's just something about that place that i can't get enough of. i love that their party spots are in the middle of nowhere bonfires with kegs and the sky looks like a straight up planitarium. it was absolutely breathtaking. saturday night was mk's graduation party... i don't think anyone can throw it down like the greeks can. amazing food followed by greek dancing and parent debauchary. i'm betting about every parent there was was sauced. in any event, i got down with my roots and believe i have met some people that are going to be lifelong friends. three days straight of bonding time in the most awkward and crazy situations. i am so excited for the 4th i can't even stand it.
so besides my crazy weekends, i haven't really been doing much during the weekdays, yet. theres so many people i extremely miss and i hate that. there's very few people back in aurora this summer.... they're either working hardcore full time or they're livin in their college towns. it's weird. i'm realizing that hitting 20 has been an end of the beginning. growing up is hard, its fun, it's exciting and bittersweet all in the same breath. not only that, i'm realizing what is more important in my life. that my social life doesn't weigh as heavily as it used to. i've been considering some major life alterations, that i haven't had the gall to do before. i need to be focused on school and my future.... i'm sick of missing people, and i'm sick of missing out. there is so much i still want to do, and i just haven't done it yet. i want to go to greece and learn greek and see my roots; i want to transfer to san diego and be with my cousin, i want to learn photography; i want to be able to sing in front of people without reservations; i want to do something worthwhile and help other people; and i never want to be caught up in materialistic nonsense. i never want to forgot the people i love or the place i've come from. family is extremely important to me. i value it so increadibly much. through good, bad, thick and thin, i won't forget that they are my family, my blood. and i won't let the ugly ever come between us. see people for who they are, and take heed to advice from people. believe that every persons path you cross has been for a reason, and try to understand why. everybody brings something to the table. each one has a story, a lesson, an extremely valuable trait. i believe that has the power to change you... and i'm not talking for better or worse, it will affect you. when you see things for what they are and the beauty that each instance brings, you will get soo much more out of life. make this the first day of the rest of your life.
