First off: word to your mom! I’m at home and it’s a gorgeous day and I have a tender and HUGE writing blister… in the spirit of Fred, I am completely okay with this.
Also in the spirit of Fred, I got into the mindset of thinking about the good things in people, and there are so many things that I admire about others. It’s weird thinking about your friends individually for awhile then realizing what qualities they have that make them unique and gifts to those who know them.
Another thought, have you ever thought about how different your life would be if one major decision had been different? For me, the weirdest thing is thinking about where I would be if I hadn’t chose SU. MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE WITH THE POSSIBILITIES! Who would you be? Who would you know? What would your goals be? Would you be the same major? What would get you out of bed in the morning?
I love where my decisions have led me to right now. I have the most amazing, thoughtful, selfless, and beautiful friends that anyone could ask for as evidenced by Thursday night fondue. Also old friends – Alex Merkle and Jen’s sister (Sarah) made brownies and brought me tea last night. Then we watched infomercials. What a fun night.I’ve been sick since Monday night and kind of not myself, but I hope no one is worried. After this hump is overcome, I will hopefully be back to myself. (School sucks, but what’s new? Sigh…) But yeah, no worries are required. I just want to enjoy life. There are a lot of good things to look forward to in the near future: Flight of the Conchords Monday, Quadstack Saturday, Sasquatch and Folklife the weekend after that, then JUNE. I wish my high school friends would be here this summer… and that there were jobs available…
In other news, I am at home and it smells like my house. That smell is so good. I just wish it was a more peaceful environment.
I’m so excited for this:
