In the Heart of Texas
I think I need a nap. It’s been such a week. Ticia and Daisy are onboard their planes by now and on their way home. I had maybe what was the most fun week of my life. We did so many things it’d almost be easier to just tell you what we didn’t do. Let’s see...went to Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghiradelli Chocolate Factory, Pier 39, Lombard street, Alamo square, San Francisco’s uppity shopping centre, Monterey Bay Aquarium, picnicked in the park, downtown Los Gatos for the world’s best gelatto, swam in the ocean in our underwear, greatest game of mini-golf ever, Finding Nemo, Santana Row-watched a tennis tournament-tanned on the beach-camped in the mountains kayaked across the lake built a 7-foot camp fire rodehorsebackonthebeachjuggledfirerockclimbed and, watched the most beautiful sunset over the ocean. ...And there was so much we didn’t get a chance to do. There are so many memories I’m going to keep with me from this trip.
But wow, I’m exhausted...
(The next day.) Ok, so I went and took a nap. I went to work again today for the first time in awhile. Boy did I not want to be there. But I only have this week left and them I’m done, so it’s not too bad. But who cares about that? I want to talk about how I’m feeling. And I’m feeling great! I really don’t know how to describe it. I feel so overwhelmed by, well, joy I suppose. I feel like everyone wants me around these days. Most of my friends are eager to get back to school and see everyone I’d imagine, not solely me, but still, it feels good to hear everyone tell me they can’t wait to see me again. And a lot of my friends at home are out of summer school and don’t have summer jobs, they’re probably calling just about everyone, but it makes me feel good to get all these calls to go out at night. And then having two friends fly halfway across the country to stay with me in California. ...And then waking up with a head against my shoulder and an arm across my waist. Everything keeps building me up higher as I go.
My parents aren’t stupid, they can put 2 and 2 together (or more accurately, 1 and 2 together). They noticed that there were 3 of us and only 2 beds. My dad made the nice comment that I’ve become quite the womanizer. I dunno about that, but it most definitely is true that I hang out with a far greater number of girls then guys these days. But whatever, it doesn’t really matter. I’ll be leaving back for school in just over a week and it’s just over 2 weeks before classes will start. I’m really looking forward to starting another year. I’ve got some great hopes for this one, and I think it’s gonna start off on a great note.
It was an interesting thing yesterday. I’ve kissed a lot of girls goodbye at an airport. But for the first time, I think I kissed one hello. We’ll see, you never really know with me. And with a brand new year around the corner, I’ve got a brand new me to let everyone see. :)
