It feels so great to be home for Thanksgiving. It's always pretty crazy when my family gets together. All of us went to Charleston, SC to visit my grandparents. Everybody in my immediate family was there.
Now, that I'm getting older I get sad when I come home for the holidays. I look at my younger cousins and realize how much of their lives I am missing by being at school. Where does the time go? Madison is turning 8 next week. I feel so old! I remember holding her when she was baby and now she's growing up. Not only that, as I'm getting older, I'm starting to realize how much older my grandparents are getting. They're pretty active so I know that won't be going anytime soon. But, the thought is still in my mind. It's scary how life passes us by and we don't even know it.
I'm not looking forward to going to back to school. Some would say I have a bad case of senioritis, but I just think I'm maturing. I'm ready to graduate and start my career.(however, I'm not ready to pay bills! *lol*)I'm tired of having to deal with attitudes and fake personalities. It makes it very difficult to get through this stressful year. Life is way too short to be bitter about situations. This may be the last time I will see or hear from some of my classmates and I want to make my senior year as memorable as possible.
