Under Construction

Hello friends,

Summer months are officially here WOOO, thus comes what most people my age like to call summer break. Summer break is when you're done with all your spring classes, you move back home( if you are living with your parents and are away at college), maybe go on a trip or two, and enjoy the summer months with family and friends. Sounds nice right?, well my summer break looks like the fun house mirror version of that. It contains all those elements but it's warped into a version of its self that is less than appealing. I did finish most of my spring classes but I am not done with one of them. I graciously got an extension on the longest most anxiety driven  project of my life. This has to be completed in the next two weeks as well as me preparing for a test. I have trouble working from home which is somewhat of an issue even though technically I'm not at home.

I am kinda at "home" for the summer but not really because actually I'm staying at my grandma's house. I love my grandma she is awesome, but I wanted time in my own room and that's pretty difficult when there is a wall ripped out of it. My dad decided to remodel the bathroom, which is connected to my bedroom, so when it's wall had to come down so did mine. Which is fine I can deal with some construction, even if it means being uprooted for a while. Plus I also didn't realize the emotional impact moving back home would have on me, which I am currently working through. I did get to go on an amazing trip with my brother to visit family in Louisiana. It was truly a fantastic time and I loved seeing my family but with my looming deadline for my class hanging over my head approached I felt guilty being on vacation. Plus riding on a plane with my brother as not exactly fun. I also have gotten to see some go my friends sometimes but trying to coordinate times to see them is like doing a high wire trapeze juggling act. I also really miss my boyfriend who lives over 200 miles away from me, and has the most ridiculous summer schedule I've ever seen.

This summer by far has not given me a break but I have had a lot of memorable experiences and learned a lot, so I guess more than my house is under construction this summer. Some of the lessons include, kindness is most important when you feel like not being kind, diligence is important even if you are not in the most work inducing environments, when you miss someone who is far away when you get to see them again their hugs are warmer and kisses are sweeter, and you have to work for the things most important to you. Hope you guys are having a great break.

Until Next Time
