I'm here at home, resting in my bed. I've been doing a lot of that. It is nice I must admit. I want to see my friends, but then I can be a bit of a homebody, dreaming my life away. This cold weather doesn't help much either. I shouldn't be complaining though because I know it's a lot colder on the east coast where a lot of my friends have left to go to school. I wonder how different life would have been if I didn't go to school so close to home. I wonder where I'll be when I graduate...you know, if I'll move out and work and have my own family. I watched the Lion King twice this quarter. The older I get, the more I begin to understand the circle of life that is brought up in the Lion King. I think at a young age, you grasp conceptually what the idea is, but you don't really take it into your heart until you reach an older age. As I get older, I have a sense of what is coming. I have been fortunate enough to meet so many different types of people in life....the good, the bad, and the ugly. And I truly think that you gain something from your encounters with each of these different types of people. Sometimes you learn from their mistakes, sometimes you make the same mistakes. It's hard to tell how the cards will turn up, but I am certainly glad I have had a chance to play the game. I know it's not over quite yet, and that I will have lots of different things to look forward to in the future.
