its the most wonderful time of the year

im at the point of fall semester when i just want to get out of here. everyone feels like this at some point at psu. why would i want to get away from the best possible place to spend 4 years of college? because i miss serenity, calm, veggies, the smell of my fireplace, reading novels, going where i want when i want, my family, not having a routine, hanging out with the only people that make me laugh until it hurts, and only having to worry about who is driving where when we go out.

after a while the redundant, weekly routine of school starts to become a drag. i start counting down the days for things to look forward to: going home for the first time since august, SLEEPING IN, birthdays..anything that doesn't revolve around wake up-go to work-go to class-study-watch my show-go to bed by 12 at the latest every single day. i start looking at pictures like the one above. that day was one of the best. my dad rented me a board, we drove the truck on the empty beach, he surf fished, and i surfed. this was our bonding day before i left for school. this was one of the last days i had before facing 4 years of the worrying and pressure (dont get me wrong, i LOVE my school and my classes and my friends more than anything). all that i had to worry about that day was where the waves were breaking and the fish were biting. every now and then i need that one day to clear my head, put everything behind me, and just go with the flow. it stinks though because finals are coming up. its crunch time and i wont have that one special day until christmas break. its funny though because after christmas break i long for everything im complaining about now. oh well. might as well make the best of it--party time...
