So we are well into out summer vacations already, but I am still left feeling that it hasn't really begun. That's a shame because it won't be too long before it is all over. Being that I'm not a commuter student--I actually move my life to Fairfax, Virginia from my quiet beach-side town, I must literally adjust to leading what could be considered a double life.
The thing is, coming back home is downright awkward. Sure, you get to see your family and friends, but you leave a big part of you back at school. I have plenty of friends at George Mason University that I am dying to see again. My friends back home are great, don't get me wrong--there is just a part of me that knows being here with them isn't going to last forever. One friend went away to a college in Tennessee and now, it is as though we have a lot to catch up on. I am sure the same will be true when I get back to school and find that I have been out-of-the-loop in regards to their lives too.
I must confess that I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things here at home. I started back at my old job that held a spot open for me. I am a security guard, but now, I am a part-time security guard making far less than the forty hours that I was accustomed to. I find that I have PLENTY of time to lie about the house and do absolutely nothing. Quite a switch after a busy semester, and frankly, it really sucks. Further, my friends are working a bit more than I am, and when our schedules do align, it is like a celestial event for all to witness. Things can be quite exciting one minute, and then completely dull the next. It is very hot and cold...
I know this must sound like whining, and I assure you, it is. I am currently trudging through one of those cold moments where I have exhausted all of my other options aside from doing a small load of laundry and figured that I would go ahead and strike up the band at my pity party. The thing is though, I am sure that there are others like me out there who are already packing their belongings and marking the calendars for the day when we can return to out beloved school and get on with our lives-on-pause. This is a cry for help, for those who are walking the same paces to be able to vent. Those people are probably in a boredom coma right now, however, and I doubt I will wake them with a simple blog post.
I will admit that I have made a new friend since I've been back. Though we knew each other previously--he was my co-worker before I left--we have brewed a new-found comradery that is refreshing. He is straight and I am quite obnoxiously, well, not. It is beautiful to have a supportive friend that comes at things from a different angle and is so unabashedly nice! So I suppose all isn't lost this summer. It's too bad that I will have to leave my new friend behind. It is also too bad that my new friend is quite the looker and is unavailable as a boyfriend. Oh well!
Whatever you are doing out there, just be sure to do it well! Have a wonderful summer everybody, I can't wait to catch up when it's all over.
