“So long sweet summer…”

August 17th, 2004 at 2:35 pm by sillyjoe (Life and Introspection, School)

Well, here I am. One day away from college. It seems so strange. I seem so far away from the few months ago that I was still in high school, yet so far away from the few hours from now that I’ll be getting up and moving all my things from the home I’ve lived in for almost 18 years, to the home I’ll live in during the fall and spring for the next four years. I’m in some sort of cosmic limbo where I don’t have a place, even though I know I’ll have a place in just a few hours. It’s a strange feeling, really.

I must say, this last lazy summer has been fantastic. I’ve made some great friends, and done some exciting things. But I’m ready to move on, ready for that next thing. And I hope you’ll join me on the journey…

So keep ‘em coming, these lines on the road
Keep me responsible, be it a light or heavy load
And keep me guessing, with these blessings in disguise
And I’ll walk with grace my feet, and faith my eyes

    Be glad you’re doing it now…it took me 27 years to leave home for school!

    I ‘m very glad.

    Because now I can stay up as late as I want and watch cartoons!

    I’m so excited!

    Since when does having a big paper do keep college students from watching cartoons. They are a great procrastination tool.

    Rhonda, I aquiesce (however that’s spelled)…you are right.

    In fact, we first ran across VeggieTales by wandering into the TV room at my daughter’s dorm during finals week.
