Long Time No Update
It has been a good month plus since I last updated. I just lost the habit after the month that I was seperated from my laptop. Since I've had it back, I've attempted to update a few times, but I usually end up typing a sentence and then scraping it. Right now, I'm in the mood to start it up again...probably because I'm in one of my nostalgic moods. Good times.
So I have had a good first half of my 2nd semester of college. My classes are really cool and I've been learning a lot. I went through a spiritual revival which was extremely necessary and time has been flying by at an unbelievable speed. Let's see...Leah and I have now been going out for 3 months (from last Saturday to be exact)...and she makes me incredibly happy. Every time I see her, I find myself taking double-takes and kind of checking that she is as wonderful and beautiful as she really is. I am an extremely lucky guy. What else...I've developed a love for art and I'm even thinking about minoring in art history. Its actually a really hard subject, but really interesting. I think if anyone gives art a chance, they will at least learn to appreciate it. I was nominated to be a preceptor, which are students who advise and mentor freshmen throughout their first year. So I have an interview for that when I get back to campus. I think it would be really cool.
The more I think about it, the more I realize how blessed I am. I have a wonderful family who supports me in everything that I do and always lets me be myself. I am never judged and I am always loved. I thank God for them everynight. I have amazing friends who are there for me when I need them and who always make me laugh. And I have just had some amazing experiences and have grown up in a nurturing environment.
I've been thinking since I've been back home for spring break about my two lives that I live now. I have my life here in Stoneham and my life at Wheaton. I find that when I'm living the one, I miss the other. I think I will always be happy at home, its just that I have people in my life now who I love and enjoy spending time with and when I'm here, they aren't. I also miss the independence and atmosphere of college. I miss learning and doing things for myself to make me a better person. If Brandon and Dubs went to Wheaton and we had a car to get back and forth from Wheaton and home...I would be a happy camper. Too bad portals don't exist, because I just zip home for church and stuff...that would be awesome. Polly is currently working on this problem. Pretty much, the thing about being home now that sucks the most is being so far away from Leah. Its hard going from being with the person you love everyday for hours everyday, to not seeing them at all. I better just go outside and build a snowman.
This break is going by really quickly. Honestly, at this point, I'm missing Wheaton. What is going on with my world!! Craziness...
