I'm settled in...but not settled in. I can't wait until I can fully unpack and organize and clean. In some respects, yes, I'm like Monica from Friends.

The last two weeks have been so relaxing. My week in New Jersey - I believe - was the best week of my life. So far. It was just so, so, so much fun hanging out with G- and her friends, and tanning on the shore, and eating delicious food at Atlantic City or watching movies late into the night on the couch...it was such a great week.

Now I'm sitting here in my room that's supposed to be home for the next year...and I like it. Yes, I like it. It needs a little sprucing up...but this room is going to shape up quite nicely.

Welcome home.

It's So Hard

Post #62: Dedicated to: Someone to Watch Over Me, Asher Book

It's so hard to say good-bye. It's even harder the second time around.

This time last year, I couldn't wait to get out of here. I couldn't wait to spend a year out on my own in the unknown world of college in Pennsylvania.

This time, though, I've already spent and survived my first year. I loved it, no doubt, but I loved coming home. I loved staying home. I loved summer.

It's just so much harder to leave again. To leave my familiar home, my hard-working parents and aunt, my amazing friends...

But life goes on?

I'll be back.

Who Dat?

No one is picking up their phone.

I'm a bit bummed. I feel like I was just left out in the cold. And while I'd like to be happy for her, as I rightly should, I feel betrayed and left alone.

On the other hand, New Orleans was a lot of fun. True, there were a lot of not so great times and I definitely learned a lot more about myself (Note to everyone: I was probably not fun to work with. I get too bossy and serious. Sorry!!) and sweat more than I ever have in my entire existence. But even so, it was a lot of fun. Last night particularly...for New Orleans during the summer wouldn't be New Orleans if we weren't randomly hit by rain and thunder and lightning! And the food....oooh myyyy gooooooshhh the food. Cajun style Louisiana soul food. Mm, mm, good. I'll remember this trip for a while.

But now I'm exhausted and my eyes are closing.
