oh, to spend time here
winter break in nappanee
there's not much to do
i believe that accurately sums up my break so far. and i don't mind it. one bit. i haven't accomplished anything. at all. well, unless you count watching hgtv with mom and eating her cookies an accomplishment.
it's nice to be home again, even for only a few days. i've missed my family... even brian.
i don't have to wear flip flops to and in the bathroom. i don't need my ipod to cancel out the muffled sounds of some generic chick flick playing next door when i'm trying to fall asleep. i don't have to wait in line for a shower. i can eat fresh produce!! i can drive places, and not be afraid that kate will run us off the road. i can watch as many decorating shows as i want.
and do i even need to mention this?
one of the material objects i've missed most. warm. fluffy. amazing, yea, heavenly. not raised to the ceiling for maximum floor space.
it's good to be home.
and it will only get better. tonight we're meeting martin for dinner. which hopefully means the taj, naan, and tandori chicken. then, after a quick shopping trip, i'm going to see my beloved stacy lane!!! oh how i've missed her. i don't know what we'll do, but i don't care. i just want to hug her. sadly, tonight's the only evening she'll be here... she's going to iwu to stay with jacki tomorrow. i guess i'll give her an extra hug for jacks. if only sharon was here as well. sigh. she has to be all cultured in france, though. summer seems sooooo far off.
as much as i love college, it's almost as if i'm living in two separate worlds that rarely, if ever, mix. college life, home life. college friends, home friends. college food (ick), home food (yay). even the time zones are different. i think after this transitional year things will improve. aka i'll be out of the dorms and into an apartment. hopefully. i think that will give me more of the independence i've been waiting for. having my car on campus will help, too. and since this post has no direction, i suppose i'll end it now and go make a shopping list or something constructive like that... .

Yep. That is college for you. Two seperate worlds that rarely mix and when they do it is kinda freaky. But they do balance eachother out. One makes you appricate the other and vice versa. Welcome to the collegate/growing up world!
I chose the old futon...
i went home this weekend and felt the same way....i exchanged seriously about 50 or more hugs this weekend with females and *gasp* males....
oh olivet, how you change us
but i slept on a couch, so you win :-)
Oh how nice that hug of yours was too! I'm glad we got to chill even if for a little while.
Oh Kat. I agree completely, well to some degree. College is an amazing life, but not one for eternity. I wish I could be with you lovely ladies next year.
love you.
woah.
i was skipping chapel and mindlessly reading through your blogs when i found a reference to my driving... i'm not sure i appreciate this, haha
next time my good, upstanding name is posted with an unflattering comment, i'd like to know. thanks.
