But different.
Why?
No school!!!
No English, no History, no nothing...
Ah...
And yet...
I miss it already...
It's weird being home...
And contrary to popular belief, there is NOT more snack-food here than at school...
Sigh...
With the exception of a few cookies for Dad, Mom's kind of been on a healthy kick for the last how long? and so there's not much that can appease my sweet tooth and other cravings...though amazing, there is ice cream, so perhaps...huh...
It's also kind of chilly here, and it tweaks me out, cuz, hello, what month is it? May? Right, just checking...but it was snowing in Billings when I left, so perhaps it's better here, since it's only been raining. Though that drives me crazy, too, because it's a cold rain. I'm convinced the only place that has warm rain is Omaha. I could play in the rain all I want, and all I'd end up as is soaking wet. But come to the 'Great State of Minnesota' (gag me) and not only am I soaking wet, I'm FREEZING as well...gee, take the fun out of puddles, why don't ya?
But wait a minute, wait a minute...
I'm twenty-two, going on twenty-three...
Girls my age...
Wait...
Women my age do not jump in puddles.
Well, damn.
Ah, the joys of growing up, haha...
So clearly I made it home in one piece...though I swear I was hallucinating that last hour...and then I found the perfect song to keep me awake.
I been around the world in the pouring rain
Feeling outta place n feeling strange
Take me to a place where they know my name
Where EVERYONE knows my name...
And yeah, the bouncing beat kept me going, and I took some video, but well, it may be used as evidence for wreckless driving, so I'm afraid I can't publish it, but simply imagine my crazy bouncy dancing...inside a car...behind the wheel...and remind yourself to never let me drive with your kids in the backseat!! Haha...
Despite that, though, I found myself pulling up the drive around two am, and I've spent the last few days unpacking, doing laundry, and making sure my friends know I'm home...
And apparently I have a lot more friends than I thought, because quite literally everyone wants to see me...yay? But not so much as well, because the time is so short, and how am I going to fit it all in without going crazy or bankrupt or...but, well, wait just a minute. And realize that you'll be waiting an extra two weeks before you go off to your summer job in Yellowstone...
(How is it, being an English major, I can let myself get away with person change? Keep it first, keep it second, keep it third, but don't mix and match!!)
But anyway, there is time, more than I thought, so I'm going to make it all work, and I will strive to keep my sanity throughout...
...
And pray that the nightmares are only this bad because I'm in a 'new place' and that will fade within the week back to the regular run-of-the-mill nightmares I've grown to love, haha...
So, it's Monday, and I'm excited and tired and wondering what to do...
Any ideas for a starting point?
