...as the children scream freedom at last!
What a weekend. My brother came out to Albany to visit me this past weekend and we had a lot of fun! I love hanging out with my brother, I just get along with him so well. He liked it a lot out here too, which was one of the goals I had. Everytime someone comes out to visit me, I want to show them that I have a good life out here, that I'm doing well for myself. I don't want to give them any reason to worry because I'm living well out here, I love Albany. Overall, I think I've done a pretty good job in showing that to the people that matter.
When I sit down and really think about it, I do have a really great life out here. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have my bad days. But, who doesn't? Either way, I'm getting along great. I'm doing really good in my classes and I have tons of fun with the friends that I've made! At first, I was terrified because I didn't really make friends that quickly. I was still fine, getting along by myself, but having good people to spend time with is definetely invaluable. I wouldn't trade this life for anything, it is far too wonderful.
Plus, time goes so much faster now! I feel like I just started school, but the semester ends in about a month! Oh my stars! In a week and 2 days, I get to go home for a little under a week for Thanksgiving break. It will be the first time I've seen Arcade in about 3 months. Do you have any idea how good that feels? I'm exicted to go home to see everyone since I've been gone for a while. It's quite strange to realize that my hometown doesn't really hold much bearing on my life anymore. Granted, I'm looking forward to going home, but I haven't felt a pull back towards Arcade in these three months. I'm glad I didn't go home to visit at all. It makes it all the more exciting to go home soon!
But, alas, I have to finish my reading for lovely Poli Sci at 8:15am tomorrow.
