screensaver
last night i was feeling a little homesick. i was missing how comfortable things used to be. i love it here. i love my apartment and i really like columbia and all the things it has to offer. but sometimes i just want to eat good mexican food. hang out with my friends that i know i can just sit there with and it still be fun. see my family. my nieces and nephews are so cute and i wish i could be there to see them having so much fun and growing up! i want to play with my dog. eat more mexican food. there is no comforting food here. i even wish i could just go buy a bottle of 3 dollar arbor mist like i used to in texas. i hope that lucy remembers me.
anyway, the point of this wasnt to say that im upset or anything. i changed my screensaver on my computer to a picture slideshow/collage last night. and this morning when i was getting dressed i watched the pictures stack up on each other. and it made me realize how much i have done this summer. sometimes i just feel like i am doing nothing up here. i spent a week in puerto rico (my most relaxing time this summer). i bought a plane ticket on a whim and went to visit kelly in chicago. i started grad school at an ivy league university. ive been to more museums in one month than i have in my whole life combined. i bought a bike and rode it all over manhattan. the best way to see the city. oh yeah...i graduated from college. i moved from small town texas to new york freaking city. i explored this city by myself, with my family, with new and old friends. i experienced relationship drama and am currently working throught it. i met a lot of people from different countries (most of them are my roommates)...taiwan, korea, shanghai, france, australia, new zealand. became a mets fan. drank a lot of alcohol. went to the zoo. saw some famous people.
the pictures from my new, awesome camera reminded me that im not just doing nothing up here while im getting my degree. im living an awesome life! im way out of my comfort zone and only losing my mind every once in awhile. it sucks to get homesick and not have your friends around...but i love it here and im doing the best i can.
im going to go ride my bike to central park now. (72 blocks away) im meeting kurt at columbus circle, we are going to ride for a bit more, then hike around the ramble (woodsy part of the park), and then maybe lay out in the sun that has appeared for the first time this week.
