I guess I find comfort in the starting of a new blog because right now we seniors are in the midst of an ending. Graduation gowns have been ordered, yearbook staffs are proofreading a few last times (although clearly embarrassing pictures are usually never filtered out in mercy), graduation party invites are spilling in everyone's Facebooks. Even though I'm home-schooled and I pretty much started summer vacation back in August 2009, there's that air of finality with me as well. We probably all have mixed feelings about it but doesn't everyone find it...a bit strange?
This is the pivotal point in our lives where "home" is a little less like home but more as a checkpoint we return to when we want to or feel the need to, and when we start finding our parents just a little less annoying and start to really understand their significance. This is our first BIG step away from home. I'd like to think a year at boarding school and four summers away at music festivals might have prepared me, but I have a feeling I'm in for some big, big surprises.
So these days, I've started seeing my parents in a new light. They are really...pretty cute. I've gotten more urges to hug them lately...I'm hoping, despite all my years as Bitchy Daughter, I'll be able to make this summer at home with my parents worthwhile.
I NEED TO FIND A SUMMER JOB! Anyone want to hire me? ...no, seriously, anyone?
Who else is staying home this summer?
I will never give up on Xanga. Never ever. I started on it and I will die on it. But I like all your blogs. I get your excited new feeling about starting this one... feels like a new beginning, right? I wonder if you get notifications for these comments that I'm writing. It's okay if you don't. And it's okay if you don't read them. Not of importance anyway.
ReplyDeleteI want yogli mogli with you this summer. Like every day. The frozen yogurt places in Athens just don't match up.
