Oh, to be back at school again! It's been truly fabulous moving into my beautiful apartment, getting settled in with classes and seeing my friends again. Sadly I did not have an internet connection until 1:30 this afternoon. (It was a blessing in disguise, though. I only had to walk across the hall to the laundry room-cum-lounge and use the computers there to check email/facebook once a day.) But really, I'm glad to be back in Massachusetts, despite the 7 hour drive in the pouring rain. I have a great place to live, fabulous roommates, and an amazing class schedule. Although, I must admit: I'm seriously missing L, M, and the parents (Max, Buster, and LC are also missed!) I'm worried that mom and M will have trouble adjusting to such a quiet house and that L will miss her significant other too much. But phone calls over the last few days indicate that she's having fun. So the worry is less.
Anyways. Here in the lovely Worcester: some people are up to their old tricks again. But not me! I'm sticking to those New Years' Resolutions, really I am! I have NOT been drinking cheap wine/booze and I have not called up that old flame for late night rendezvous. Instead, I have been concentrating on getting my dorm-apartment to be as homey as possible and getting used to all the free time I now have since I'm no longer at work and have a great class schedule (but I do have 4 classes tomorrow, starting at 10:30 in the morning and ending at 8:15 in the evening. I know, brutal).
I've been seriously enjoying the freedoms of having my own car as well as a brand new computer. When my friends or classes get to be too much I can toy with the thoughts of either a) jumping in the car and driving home to the waiting arms of my child-deprived mother, or b) putting on a Harry Potter movie and zoning out. I never really appreciated how much having a car, computer and a single room to myself can make such a difference. (Really, though, I haven't been annoyed with my friend yet, and I hope I won't be considering I'm only here for this semester. And the only thing I don't like about classes is all the required readings; the subjects seem interesting....)
So I know that this is a brief posting and certainly not as interesting as past ones, but I needed to let you all know that I am still alive and kicking! School is fabulous, as college should be, and I'm loving it! I'll report on some good gossip as soon as I have a chance and always remember: you can never out-grow the college phase of your lives.
