The New Year

It is 2011; wow, time has gone by pretty fast.  I have been home for winter break for about three weeks now, and I have one more week before I have to go back to school.  I have mixed emotions about going back; I am excited for classes to start up again and have stuff to do, but at the same time I am going to miss my friends and family back here in Washington.  I feel like I have gotten closer to a few of my friends here over this break, which is cool and exciting, but it just makes it that much harder to leave once again.  I know I will be back in a few months for summer and have a whole bunch of time to hang out and what not, but I still get sad knowing I have to leave in a week; I'm going to miss people.  It will go fast though once I get back in the swing of things with classes and stuff, staying busy is the key, and I'll have some fun along the way.

I finished up last semester and am now ready for the next one.  I'm getting a new roommate, someone from Las Vegas, so that should be interesting.  I will be taking 15 credits, five classes, one of which is my junior-level writing requirement, so I should be pretty busy.  I will be looking for a job also, hopefully I can find one because I plan to move off campus for my junior year, so I will be looking in to and figuring things out for that also.  I will also still be an active member in the BSU and it's step team.  These things should keep me busy and prevent me from being too homesick.  I just keep telling myself with the technology today, it is still pretty easy to stay connect and communicate with friends.  I do not have a ton of friends, which is why I want to remain close to the ones I do have because finding good, trustworthy friends is not an easy task.  I am grateful for all the people I can hang out with and have a good time, but I am especially grateful for those few people I can talk to about anything, with no judgment, and of course still be able to have a good time.
