Thursday AGAIN??

Wow, time is speeding by. How long have I been here? Am I really a college student? This is kind of odd. I never thought I would see the day, but it is here and my eyes are finally focusing in on life. I love this place. I do miss my family and friends, but I will see them again. This is home now and probably will be for years to come. Isn't it odd? You think to yourself, "Oh, I'm only going away for a semester. I'll be home on weekends." When does it finally hit you that YOU ARE home and going to stay the weekend with Mom & Dad is just another trip down memory lane. You don't realize at the beginning of your first semester that you will be looking at this campus or some other campus for the next YEARS of your life. We tend to only see life that's right in front of us, in short-term prospective. I'm amazed. I won't be doing this only for a few months. It's now my life. I still have this feeling that I'm away at cheerleading camp or something like that. I feel like......"o ya kno I'll be home in a week...See ya then ma'...." But does it ever COMPLETELY sink in? I dunno! I'm trying to grasp reality but my hands are greased down and I cannot seem to find soap.
