Ann Arbor was a blast! As much as I love the ‘dale, it was good to get
away if only for one night. We didn’t do anything crazy–just walked
around, talked, and generally had ourselves a fun time. There were
drawbacks, yes, we were not fully complete without certain members of
our crew but I know that we will get the chance to do it again in the
future. And that will rawk….hard. Anyway, I’m going home tomorrow
(actually it’s today already) and I can’t wait. It will be so good to
see my parents and grandparents and sisters. Not to mention get an
awesome homecooked Thanksgiving dinner while I’m there!
   And I’m definitely looking forward to the break. I need to
get away just for a little while. I love my Quad girls and the Galloway
boys sososo very much, but right now I really feel like I need to get
away just to clear my head. The college life is such a dramatic
lifestyle change for me…..it’s been a mental and physical strain
almost. Ha. As if that doesn’t sound melodramatic. But it really has
been a huge shift for me….getting used to being around the same
people all the time and getting to know them inside and out a lot
sooner than I would have in high school. Not to mention the almost
exorbitant amounts of free time–no weekend job makes for a lot more
hours in the day. I’m not complaining though…. So being home will
help set me straight for a while, I think–help me to get things in
perspective. And maybe when I come back I will know exactly how to act
like a college student who knows where she’s headed in life and doesn’t
have to worry about the silly things that have been getting me down
lately. Sounds good, right? Yeah, I’ve got high hopes for the break.
But really all I ask for is a big hug from every member of my family
and a few extra hours of sleep. I am grateful, God, for what I have!
