After almost one semester..
Let’s take a look at where I’m at..
-I am, for the first time in 2 and a half years, finally in a good housing situation. I get along with my roommates, the people who own the building are super nice and always willing to solve any problems we have (including moving us to a nicer building to solve our incredible mouse problem). I get along with my roommates fairly well and so far, I don’t have stupid reasons to dislike any of them. This is a very good thing.
-I am in a serious and loving (although long distance) relationship. I have never been happier and I have never felt such strong feelings of love for anyone. Ever. He is (not to sound corny or anything) the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can’t thank him enough for all he has done for me, but he also doesn’t seem to want me to. I owe this guy nothing but my love in return for his. This is a very good thing.
-I am doing well academically. I enjoy all of my classes and I have not had any of that end of semester panic about my grades, papers or projects. This is a very good thing.
-I do miss my old friends and my old life sometimes. It has been happening more in the last weeks. Sometimes, I just wish I could be doing homework at Mugby with the comforting knowledge that when I’m there, I almost certainly will run into several friends. I really miss that. This is a somewhat sad thing.
-I have grown up. I am not the same person I was when I left Winona. I am much more mature and I feel like I understand things in a completely different (and better, more responsible) way. I still have things that get to me and and I realize I’m being dumb, but for the most part, I have grown up. This is a very good thing.
-I might add more to this list in the next week and a half as I finish my first semester at home. I really feel like I’ve found the place I belong and I couldn’t be happier. This is a very good thing.
