Random Ramblings...

Well, this is all very new to me, but I will attempt nonetheless.  I have never written a blog before, but I may as well try!
College is also new to me this year.  It has been quite the experience so far.  I am 2,000 miles away from home, which has proven difficult, but it is still fun.  I am involved in the wind ensemble here (but will NOT be next semester, the director is very unorganized and quite egotistic) and the flute ensemble, and today was the annual star trees concert.  There are these 5 huge pine trees in the shape of a star on the campus, and every year they are strung with thousands of lights, it's quite beautiful.  There is then a silly Christmas concert afterwords, with sing-a-longs and such.  There was a melodica duo, it was hilarious they purposely were very out of tune, and it sounded terribly awesome.  So it was fun!  My roommate and I then went to coffee afterwards. 
But enough about that.  I am going home in 12 days.  TWELVE DAYS!!!  I am so excited, I haven't seen anyone since August!  I miss my family terribly, and my friends.  But I miss my boyfriend in a special way.   Wow, I can't wait to see him.  I am going to give him the biggest hug possible!  It's really hard to be separated from your significant other, I have realized.  We talk all the time, but it just isn't the same.  There ARE some upsides, however.  We have gotten so much closer on an intellectual level, since all we can do is talk.  No hugging, cuddling or kissing.  No, the closest you can get to that is Skyping, and really, you can't even look them straight in the eye.  We know so much more about each other, and can talk for hours at a time.  It's wonderful!  But hand holding and cuddling WOULD be nice once in awhile.  Soon though, soon... :) 
But who knows, I just may end up going back home for college next year.  I can only stay here if I get an R.A. (resident assistant) position, since I do not have the funds to pay for it myself.  There are some schools around home that I could go to for free, so it's not like I would have to drop out of school, but it IS depressing nonetheless.  I DO like it here, even if I get lonely sometimes, and my flute professor is AMAZING.  But it wouldn't be TERRIBLE if I had to go back, since I would then be close to my boyfriend :)  That would be nice :)  Money is very stressful, I have started the application, hopefully I get one of the few spots!  If not, it just means that God wants me back home, which I'd be okay with too!
