Well let's see. My computer is broken. It makes shit difficult. But things are pretty good considering everything.
My friend Jamin has left for his Peace Corps assignment. Finally. And that was a goodbye that was so far from easy. I don't really know what else to say. I did get to see him a lot before he left. So I really do feel alright with us. More than I thought I would. We drifted some. Maybe that's why it it didn't seem like such a heavy farewell. Well, it did. But lighter than anticipated. I've never had to say goodbye to someone like that. We've never truly had a simple friendship. But I'd like things to be simple. So I'm going to let it be. Whatever that means....I mean it.
First semester I really questioned whether MSU is the right school for me. I'm not about the big partaaaay scene. And State is so expensive. Astronomically expensive. I'll never stop feeling guilty about that. But it's a name. A good name. I realized that many weekends I would be gone at home or visiting other colleges or away at something. Stuff was always going on that I needed to be at. I'm glad i didn't miss any family events, but at the same time I missed out on something substantial: living at my school. I was really just going to class. Interacting with people, but not as much as I'd like. Second semester is beautiful thus far. I've had some really fantastic times and got really close with my friends here. I am absolutely happy. And I am grateful to mean that.
I am home for Spring Break. And I feel wonderful. I can never get enough of doing absolutely nothing.
