(no subject)
so i woke up early this morning. walked down to the lake and watched the sun rise.
beautiful moments like today make life worth living.
i cam back just as matt was waking up.
he called me emo.
on the walk back i was thinking about where we have all lived.
and the idea that where we live shapes who we are.
each one of us is slowly changing to match our surroundings.
growing up, my parents had taken a look at living in a farmhouse about an hour north of here.
it was the type of town where you had to walk 4 blocks to get to the next house.
who would i be today if i lived there? would i still enjoy the simple beauty of art?
there are so many moments i would never have lived.
i have met a lot of people here that came from all different places. some from new york, others from england, a lot from small towns.
i like that now that most of us have grown, the idea of how much money our parents make becomes less important.
occasionsly i have run into a few people from delafield, oconomowoc, pewaukee, brookfield area. and i seem to hear a lot of the same things.
it involves their parents paying for a lot of their schooling. i am not sure if i am jealous of them, or if i feel bad for them.
everyone wishes that they could have everything payed for, but what happens when you dont appreciate the hard work you put into living on your own.
at what age will your parents cut you off?
yes, its true that i am going to a wisconsin school because i couldnt afford to pay for out of state.
yes, its true that my parents are not helping me, with the exception of the 20 dollars given to me around the holidays to say (here, buy some food for your dorm)
i dont know what the right answer is.
i cut my drinking down.
i have drank only 2 nights in the last month.
as sad as it is, thats a very very drastic change from my life 3 months ago.
im not sure if i was happier then or now.
break is coming up.
i am excited to be home. i miss my puppies most of all.
i am really going to miss my friends here at milwaukee.
tonight i am going ice skating again, after the oc ofcoarse.
its kind of a last goodbye to a lot of friends here on campus.
and well. now i am going to go watch "over the hedge".
