Today (Well, yesterday now), I spent the majority of my day sleeping. And then playing Pokemon. Around five, Linda came back to the dorms. She, Ivy, and myself proceeded to play DDR for a bit. Then Linda and I went to see Avenue Q!
Just for the record, Avenue Q is just as awesome as you thought it would be, except more so. ♥ It completely made my Thanksgiving.
It’s funny; Thanksgiving was never that big of an affair at my house. My mom and I saw it as an excuse to eat a lot of food, but we never really gave thanks to anything or anyone. This year, though, being by myself at school made me think about my life and what I have to be thankful for. There’s my mom, of course, and I miss and love her so much. It’s strange to not see her at all on Thanksgiving, but stranger still that I’m not as sad as I ought to be. I’m a bit afraid that I’m falling out of touch with her, and that’s something I really don’t want to happen.
Moving on to happier things, though, I also have the fact that I’m in college to be thankful for. When I was in high school, college was my goal. If I could make it to college, I was set. I was good. College meant that I’d have a chance for a good life and a chance to make the people I love around me happier. Being in college is a dream come true. I dreampt about going to college for twelve years, and now the dream is my reality. It still overwhelms me sometimes, realizing that I am, in fact, in college.
My friends I’m also thankful for. I don’t know how I do it, since my personality’s pretty bad, but I always have the best friends in the world. When people are willing to put up with my arrogance and narrow minded-ness, and give me food on Thanksgiving on top of that, I know that I’m loved. And I love all of my friends. ♥ To that guys in Lake Charles, I miss you all so, so much. ♥ Watch for me come Christmas!
And there’s more; there’s always more, but those are the top three things I’m thankful for this year. I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving like I did.
