I'm almost on my way home and I'm so excited. Really! I am! Any place would be better than Mississippi right now.
The only problem is that I'm not really sure what to expect when I get there. A lot can change in two months, and from what I'm gathering, that's precisely the case. Friends leaving, friends not hanging out with each other anymore, new jobs, lost jobs, icy and/or broken hearts, backstabbing...and here I am coming from active duty to be dropped right into the middle of this maelstrom. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see once I get there.
This weekend took a lot out of me - it was really fun for the most part, but it makes me wish even more that I had my own transportation. Not that there's a whole lot to do, but getting away from the juniors was such a relief.
Eight more days until I get on that plane. I hope RVA is, for better or for worse, still there for me.
