Home away from where the heart is
Well. . .this is a mildly annoying feeling. I'm visiting my family right now, on the other side of the world. . . and I'm happy you know? As much as my family and I disagree on things and I'm the blacksheep, I love them and we really get along well. . . .but things are so much more confusing now. I've created such a family network back home in the states. . .that it feels like even though I'm visiting my blood relatives, I'm leaving another sort of family behind.
I miss my house, I miss the weather. . . and I miss the people. My adopted family. And I miss all my friends that are visiting that I always see for a day in passing before we both head in different directions!!! Argh! It's weird, I usually never have this problem until the last week of my stay- wanting so badly to go back to California. . . .but it's come early this year. I still have a month to go before I leave!! A MONTH!! And I've already been here for 2 weeks.
ARGH!
I'll just have to bide my time, and stack up my schedule with activities . . . at least my friends are going to be back in KL soon so I'll be able to go out and do stuff with them as well.
On another note, it's 2010!!
Weird. . . yet again that time of the year- where I have to keep reminding myself to write the 10 and not '09 at the end of my dates.
I'm going to try and start teaching dance lessons this term, either at a dance studio or at my friends tattoo shop (they have a HUGE open space in front, so it wouldn't be weird or anything).
I've been interning for a local designer which has been really fun, and I'm going to be helping her vend and such as well.
I also told my mum about Terrin and I. . . . she took it better than I was expecting- not to say that she was okay with it, but she didn't start yelling at me about it either. The tricky thing is telling my dad. We both don't think he's ready to hear about it yet, but he needs to know soon. . . .
anyhow, that's the extent of what's going on with me right now. I'm super happy with school, I'm doing really really well and it's one of the most satisfying feelings ever.
There WAS drama with one of my housemate for a few months before I left, but I'm pretty sure it's all settled down now.
I really hate drama :/
