I still call my parent's house home. It's probably because I don't have a REAL place of my own yet (which I am hoping to change, and very soon). I miss home right now, so much. I miss my dog and all the people in my hometown. Thanksgiving is going to be a good time. I'm sure I'll be sick of it by the time I leave. But I still feel like I'm trying to figure out where I belong. It's like I live two lives, one at home, and one here in Virginia Beach. I can't wait until I can mesh them into one.
Sometimes I think my life would be so much easier if I were rich. I mean, I know money can't make you happy, but it certainly can help, can't it? I wouldn't have to worry about my student loans, rent, utilities, credit cards, cell phone, groceries, all that stuff. It's nice to dream about sometimes.
I'm planning to go apartment hunting this weekend. I've already been in contact with a couple of people that want me to check out their rooms to rent. I think that will help make my life feel more complete, having that place that I can finally call home here in Virginia. I can't wait!
I'm getting tired of all this traveling. The long drives have become more boring than exciting, and I'm really starting to feel like I am so out of the loop back home on everything that's happening. I have to play catch up not only back in the office, but in my social world when I'm back. It's getting to be a pain. Only a few more weeks to go, I have to keep telling myself that. The week before thanksgiving is my last travel week. After Thanksgiving, no more until March. I think I'll be ready to be out of the office again then :) From what I hear things get stressful during the Spring season. whoo hoo.
Alright, as usual I'm having a lot of downtime here in my hotel. I'm twenty minutes away from room service, a hot bath and HBO before I tuck myself in. I can't really complain, I know, things seems so great, but...it's very lonely. I think this would be so much better if I had someone to travel with me. Which, by the way, IS allowed. Admissions doesn't really care as long as the work gets done :) Isn't that good news? Anyone who wants to take a road trip with me sometime is more than welcome!
Back to the Tyra Banks show. There is an interesting topic on frienships and betrayals, which is a little too close to home right now for me to ignore. hmmmmm....I wonder if I should get in touch with Oprah or Tyra? My friendship/relationship problems are interesting enough for this!
