Oh, That's Just Your Future.

I feel like I haven't blogged forever. I kept meaning to post one, but sadly, it didn't happen. Anyway, Rolla was a whole lot of fun. I was down there for like nine days, and yet somehow it still didn't feel like enough time. It must be a Rolla paradox. But having all that time with Ben was pretty damn awesome, even if there were a few times I wanted to . . . um . . . destroy him. We actually got into a little fight (ie, I got pissed and spent a few hours doing a slow burn until finally telling him why I was upset) that stemmed from the whole Paris thing, but we talked about it and resolved the issue.

But, anyway, I leave for Chicago on Saturday. Kim is heading to Bloomington on Thursday and I think Helen is taking off then, too, to go on Spring Break with her boyfriend. It's weird, because we have all been best friends for so long, and suddenly we're all going in seperate directions. Thank God we're still close enough that, if necessary, we can see each other, but it's still weird. I've lived three minutes from Kim for most of our lives, so it'll be weird not having her just down the street. But I know she will do so damn well in school and I'm super excited to see what Helen decides to do after IVCC. It's strange seeing our lives actually taking shape.

Now, once I'm back to my apartment, I have one week before classes start. I got an e-mail from one teacher about a class I'm in, and it actually hit me that I'm going back to DePaul. I'm really a student again, and I couldn't be more excited. There were times at IV when I really thought I had fucked my life up royally. But, now I'm back on track and can see that going home for that year and a half was definitely for the best. I definitely learned a lot and reconnected with the most important people in my life, which is well worth the stress of thinking I would become a bag lady someday.

I just hope things go well from here on out.
