Well, life has certainly been a ride over the last four months. I've had some good times, specifically with Kit and Emma...I finally feel acclimated to high school, so I'm about ready to leave. [14 days]. Also, as much as I used to appreciate the connection I felt to my household, it's beginning to strain under my very newfound need for independence. I think college will be the best for all of us. Missing the band and my friends will be hard at first, of course...but everyone adjusts.
I sent my deposit to Salve a couple months ago and expect to hear from them in May about housing/orientation, which is right around the corner! I still don't know what to do with my life, though. I've resorted to asking random people at random moments what I should do with my life...not one has truly helped yet. I guess, in the end, it will be my decision to make alone. What a terrifying thought!
Interestingly enough, I've made a couple new Coyle friends recently...mostly due to Rocky Horror [a monthly reoccurance for me now] and the like. There are some truly amazing people out there, even existing in such a constricting school environment. I also had my first relationship. Long distance, can you believe it? Had some good times, and it definitely was a learning experience, but in the long run it wasn't meant to last. If I ever get involved in an LDR again, please shoot me. I'm the kind of person that needs affection and dates and lots of kisses. I do hope college brings me that, at least. Hehe.
I'd like to think I'm a more confident person than I was at the start of this school year (and absolutely immeasurably beyond my start at Coyle), and that meeting new people and being on my own will be a breeze.
Speaking of breezes, the beauty and perfection of the approaching Spring has touched me far beyond any previous years. I love the sun, the warmth on my arm as I rest it on the car windowsill, the cool, refreshing air blowing my hair all over my face. I love listening to bubbly music and thinking about my near-freedom, and watching the trees closely everyday on the way home from school for some sign of a bud. It's finally happening.
And to wrap it all up. Hello, April Vacation. Time to delve into the Media Lit project, I believe. We certainly have tons to do and so little time...but it will be good in a different way than we had imagined it in September. And of course there's a plus, I don't have to spend my vacation rotting away at home all alone...on Tuesday, it's to Kit's house [I may love it a bit too much there], pretty much until Saturday...with maybe a small break in between.
Updating is fun when you have stuff to discuss.
