In the In Between

Well, here I sit. there are only a whopping 8 days until I venture back to Tennessee. My heart is a mix of emotions, I'll tell you that. I am glad to be back with my friends.. But I know it won't be the same, or what I'm expecting. Last year.. It was wonderful and marvelous. To be out on my own for the first time and to have real-life independence. But now, I know what all that feels like and I have expectations. For it to be better than last time. For my classes to be more interesting, for me to get better grades, to make more friends. To no end up in the hospital again :) That would be marvelous!
I've changed a lot this summer. I've figured a lot out about myself.

I'm an introvert.

Weird, right? Yes-I like people, but not enough to be around them all the time. I need my 'me' time, I guess you could say so I can function at the end of the day. I always feel the best when I've spent a few hours by myself just sitting, or listening to music before I had to go to class. it will be different this year because I have a TON of down time on tues/thurs and not so much on wed/frid.

Overall, I am extremely excited to be going back. I am actually voluntarily cleaning my room before it is the last moment. :) Hmm.. This week looks like: a lot of packing, cleaning, a doctor's appointment, a hair appointment to cut my hair for the third time in four weeks, and going to the grandparents house to get the van so we can take it down to Tennessee with all my junk. And then, one week from tomorrow, I will be on my way to the place I call home :)
