(no subject)
Three years ago this weekend I visited Seattle for the first time. I will never forget the first time I saw this city, and drove down broadway to our little bed and breakfast that is only blocks away from where I now live. It is so wierd to think about things that way. I am in such a different place now, and it is hard to remember who that person even was. Is that wierd?
Then I think about last thanksgiving. I had just gotten back on the ship after Japan, we had class on thanksgiving, we never had a day off if we were at sea, and was so homesick. I had two more weeks of sailing without land in sight and finals. Thanksgiving on the ship was aweful, the food bad and my friends and I fighting and stressed...thanksgiving ended with someone getting up from the table and shouting "happy fucking thanksgiving." and now, alomost one year later that entire group but one, have plan tickets out to SEATTLE to visit over new years. I am so excited to see them all, nervous too. We have never hung out in the states before, never stayed in one place before, what if I bore them? I think we are content just being in a room together, I mean we did entertain ourselves wiht no tv or internet every night of the week, just laughing at one another. I am excited.
This was a good break, relaxing which felt a little odd. For the first time since I moved out of my stuido I came home to an empty apartment, I missed kelly and I had a lot of time to myself, drank a lot of hot choclate and even updated this thing. I can't believe this quarter is almost done, I can't believe how much has happened and how much still needs to happen. I can't believe I am almost done with my college career.
