Homecoming: 2013

This year was a new experience for homecoming.

It was the first actual homecoming where I had to come home. How strange to be an alum coming back!

Katherine kept on the tradition of the PINK dress! I wore it in 2011. Abby in 2012. And now it has been worn in 2013. Who will wear it next?!

Home

After another weekend at "home," I sit at my desk at CUW and realize how badly I want to go back. But I don't know if I really want to go back to Green Bay, I just want to go back to the friendships I had there. I want to go back to the people. In fact I could actually careless about my house, or even some of my family.
This weekend brought back so many memories.
But I also created new ones.
I'm absolutely exhausted from this weekend.
Friday night I didn't get home until past 2 am and Saturday night I didn't get home until 12:30 am. I'm wiped.
But looking back over this weekend, I wouldn't change a single thing, although some stuff turned out differently as planned. Actually, I take that back. I wish I hadn't been sick.

I'm beginning to realize that home isn't really a place. It's people.
Home is where you are most comfortable. It's the person's arms you want to be held by. The people you want to be with. The people who make you laugh. The people you have made irreplaceable memories with.

I'm having a hard time here realizing that I can't go home as easily as I thought I would be able to. Home is a lot harder to get to now.

I just want to be back home.

D+

Well, I've officially failed my first History test of the year! Woohoo!
I hate History.
I got a 53% on my online test.
Gotta love starting the year off with a solid F!
Luckily I got a B on my essay exam, so my overall grade for the class is a beautiful D+.

I think I'm going to drop out.

Laundry

I officially hate doing laundry. It would probably be a different story if my laundry room was on the same floor as my room. But really, two floors down. I hate walking down stairs! Especially with laundry in tow!

Well, I better go switch mine over, hopefully there is a dryer that's available. Otherwise I'm going to be pissed.

First Night Back

Tonight is my first night back in Green Bay since moving to CUW. It's crazy how different it seems, and it's not even been a month yet. 

My mom is teaching, my dad is teaching, our backyard is leveled, we have a new sidewalk in back, my room is somewhat clean...

But more importantly, I feel different when I'm here now. It doesn't quite feel like home anymore honestly. But I don't know where it does feel like home. I feel a lot older coming home from college. 

I felt old sitting at NEW's volleyball games and not playing in them. 

I don't know how I feel about getting old.

I think I'm just really unsure about everything right now.

Lightning in a Bottle

New Favorite Band: The Summer Set

I love "finding" new bands.. There is something exhilirating about jamming out to a new song as it gets stuck in your head.

Trevor burned me a CD like two weeks ago with four songs on it by The Summer Set.
The CD he gave to me on Thursday has their whole new CD on it.. I'm in heaven!
     My faves: Maybe Tonight, Boomerang, Lightning in a Bottle, and Legendary.
