Another beginning...

Another school year has taken off with full force and I'm still not sure exactly how I feel about it all yet. I'm very glad that I'm more into my concentrated classes and not so much just general classes. But of course, that just means more responsibility for me to keep up my grades and not to slack at all because these are the classes that will lead me to my profession one day. Oh, that scary P-word. Being in school for three-quarters of my life, it makes me wonder what life will be like when I'm FINALLY done with all my schooling. I know that I have quite a few years left until I'm ready to be done with schooling all together, but oh boy, having a profession and having to live like a grown up. Scary things.

I love being back on campus with all of the people I've learned to love. We all left in April/May and now we're all back finally. It's as if summer never happened. We all picked things back up like nothing. My new schedule allows me to actually spend time with all of my friends during the evenings and weekends unlike last year. Thank goodness. So hopefully, I can experience college life a little more than just classes and work.

Even though it's been less than a week, I already miss my family. We're a pretty close-knit family and being away kinda stinks. Thankfully, I'm only 45 minutes away and I can call or text them anytime I want. I think I've talked to my mom almost every day since I moved out. I've talked to my dad and my sister a few times but we're all so stinking busy it's hard to find time. When upperclassmen used to say that it'll go away, I think back now about how they were completely wrong. Homesickness never goes away. You just find ways to deal with it and start to get so busy with everything else that you almost forget about it.

Well, I'm thinking I should maybe try to start a little homework before I have to go eat some "delicious" Marbeck food. I'm just kidding. I'd rather eat Marbeck's food than the things I'd come up with. Enjoy =)
