Well, I actually found some time the weekend of July 4th, and came back to the Dink Network briefly, and decided to write a blog.
College life is really something. It's changed me more than I let myself believe. I don't even know where to start, but it's really awesome. I have 350 bucks and 5 weeks to spend it all, and an allowance of 25 points a week from the University. I have a bike and a friend to spend time with, and free food every day, not to mention two very fascinating courses, World Religions and International Relations, and two of the best teachers I've ever had. Above all, I have freedom. I can choose not to go to class at 8:30 in the morning after going to sleep at 4. I can choose to play games instead of reading a hundred pages of religious babbling. Unfortunately, not everything is well in Hootown(or however you spell it). Though there's freedom, there's also nostalgia. I miss home. All the pleasant conversations I never have anymore; the nights I've snuck out to Dana's house and laid in an open field with fresh dew in the crisp grass, staring deep into the starry night, and into each others eyes; my parents; the homecooked meals that no cafe or restaurant can replace; jamming with friends, all of us letting our fingers and hands weep, laugh, rejoice, and express ourselves like we never could with words for us; lying in my bed, snug and warm, with classical music playing, slowly letting me float into a restful and undisturbed slumber; and knowing that I am really home. *sigh* The amount of appreciation my home deserved wasn't fulfilled by how much I gave. And I know that when I return, it'll never be the samea gain. Though this may just be some wistful, nostalgic soul wishing foolishly for some long gone and unreturnable experience, I still encourage you to enjoy and appreciate what you have every moment of your life, because though attachments may seem to last forever, they will either suddenly or abruptly end.
