It's good to be home...i think?
Sooo I'm back home yay!
Got home monday night around 1 am, so tuesday was basically unpacking and today I did some putzing around. Good putzing around though, 'specially since when work starts up i'll have less time to take advantage of.
Oh, before i forget: Senior Week. So, hanging about on campus post-Finals was kind of nice, if anything because i didn't have to go through the hassle of packing while taking finals. It was super fun to hang out with Revelation! one last time, I'm really going to miss everyone like crazy! It's funny, my focus has started to turn toward Japan and away from Gustavus...and I'm okay with it. Still makes me a little sad to say goodbye to everyone and to know in the back of my mind that so much is happening minus me. :-(
Oh, and Student Leaders basically have to go through Hades during Senior Week. Especially the last day. Oh hey, let's have a buffet for 1500 people! In a room that only fits 800! And let's have it go one for like 3 straight hours! Oh, and once thats done and cleaned up...lets have CONCESSIONS outside for post graduation ceremony! We joked about making "I survived Commencement Banquet '08" tshirts, heh.
Let's see, so then my dad comes and picks me up, oh and his cat died on our way back. That's kind of sad, but i never really got to know his cat because he got it for christmas...so ive only been around like 2 weeks since he's gotten it. Still, always sucks to see 'em go.
Wow, this is like Rich Hilbert -style stream of consciousness here, I'm not even giving people good transition phrases. Okay, here's one:
Speaking of changes,
I've realized lately that I've changed alot this year, okay thats not a recent acknowledgement at all, but NOW i'm seeing how little I had changed through my freshman year. Of course, little stuff kind of changed, but really after Freshman year it was still me in high school with some shallow alterations. This past year though has really worked on me, in a good way. But coming home again is just pointing out how different a homecoming it is this year. Maybe this is typical sophomore year return, buts its more like all the stuff I've been through this year, props to Jesus.
I have friends who I can be real with, and so now theres this sort of content I have with all the ones i can't be totally real with. Not that I act fake around people, its more like the people you just don't swing the doors open full blast for, because you know that wouldn't turn out good. So instead you just kind of occasionally open up. That can be pretty lonely though, when you are antzing for a fire-hydrant style dam burst of reality. But I got that this year, 'specially with Kaley who rocks, Laura and J Snydes too...good stuff. So coming home i am both aware of how i've changed and feel no pressure to like, have to shout it out at the top of my lungs. It'll probably become more and more apparent to people who know me, but not in an isolating polarizing awkward way. Yay!
So yeah. God rocks. Basically. I know i didn't say it in those past two paragraphs but that's what I've been saying, read behind the lines people!
