Livejournal sent me a message today that said that Master Jedi Johnson noticed that I hadn't posted it a while :P. I guess it has been quite a while since I posted, so I suppose I can take a little time out to update.
Classes are almost done... a week from tomorrow I'm on my way home. They've been ridiculously easy for the most part since they're mainly intro classes and gen eds. On another note, going to a school not far from the beach has yet to pay off. Each time Jonny and I venture there it sees us coming and spoils the whole trip with rain showers and cold winds. I've been really confused by the weather here, I thought south meant a warmer, earlier spring. As I've discovered the last few weeks, it really means cold, raw sea breezes and late blooming foliage. I'm jealous when I go home and see green and experience temperatures over 65.
As much as I am looking forward to living in my small town again, I'm a little less than excited about worrying about where I'm going, who I'm with, and what my parents will think. I've gotten very used to doing what I want without changing my behavior to fit their expectations. All I can do is laugh when my mom asks me why I wouldn't want to live at home after graduation, I think I'd loose my mind with all the real and imagined restrictions weighing down on me. It's not so much that they decide what I do anymore, it's more implied and enforced through guilt trips and subtly expressed dissapointment. I'm fully convinced that it's impossible to be 19 and perfect at the same time.
Instead, I'm looking forward to trips to the beach, late nights, camping(?) and seeing people it feels like I haven't talked to in ages... and it really can't come fast enough.
