I realized that I haven't been at the same school for more than two years since I was in fourth grade. I'll be at UT for three years, so I'm breaking the cycle. I like it here most of the time, and am glad I came--big improvement over Oklahoma Christian. I'm just now starting to feel comfortable here, like more than just a tourist... even though I know I'm not a real Austin kid. I don't think I would still be here if I was, though, even if it's a cool town because I'm never content where I am. I'm always looking toward bigger and better things in the future instead of enjoying where I'm at right now. But, I think I'm improving because I'm going home for Easter in a week and a half, but haven't given much thought to it. I'm going to New York in three weeks, but am not living for the day that I step off the plane. I'll be in Argentina for the whole summer, which is so cool to think about when I do think about it... but I usually don't. I'm living in the moment and life feels so much more fulfilling. I'm getting school work done instead of going to class feeling unprepared and like I have to dodge the professors' questions. I'm actually going to class, all of them. I'm meeting new people and not being as intimidated and relying on people I already know here or at home. I don't feel like I have to call friends from home to fill the void of not having many friends here. I'm looking forward to living with Julie in a real house or apartment next semester, even though we haven't even started looking and probably should. Things are going well and I'm having fun.
PS. My brothers and I have a bookclub now and we're going to make shirts for it when I go home for Easter... but we still haven't chosen the first book. Those high school boys are busier than I am.
