The times they are a changin'

There hits a certain point in a girls life where the home she grew up in is no longer her home. Now I'm a special case because I had a young childhood home, a pre-teen/early teen home, and a later teen home. So I've never had that exact point where you realize the house you grew up in is no longer your house but if I still lived in the same house I spent those awkward young years in I think that feeling would be equivalent to what I feel now.

When I come home it's wonderful to have home cooked meals, dishes done unless I'm asked to do them, and a clean house....besides those areas that I chose to dwell in. What I'm really trying to say is that the luxuries of home life at this point don't out weigh the freedom and experimental times of the college life. So basically. I'm ready to go back to school.
I'm taking all classes I have an interest in this semester and although they will be challenging I'm more excited than nervous. I don't think people realize how much I actually like learning. In fact I find ways to do it on a daily basis. I'm a curious person and I think that's a good quality to have.

Wednesday morning before the sunrises and most of the people that read this blog have just fallen asleep, my parents will be on their way to the airport to catch a flight to Bountiful, Utah where my dad grew up. Best wishes to my grandpa and also my dad's side of the family in mending relationships. While my jet setter parents are off in the land of snowy mountains and trees, I will be here with my pups and whoever decides to come visit. I'm looking forward to the solitude and dreading it a little because this house was meant for more than just a couple people and even so....I will need to get out and do something soon because I've spent a lot of nothing hours here. Mum and pop return on Saturday and the next day I'll pack up my shit in my lovely clean car (which I don't know if I mentioned before, is clean now and there will be no more smoking in...sorry Stace) and I will find my way back to my little apartment in the cliffs!

So good luck to everyone in this new semester in all the struggles that you encounter, may you find happiness in the simple pleasures of life to get you through the day.
