Coming home from college is an odd feeling. First of all, I have a room all to myself with a bed big enough for me to actual roll over in. It's pretty incredible. I woke up with no back pain at all, which has been a very rare thing ever since I started sleeping in a dorm room bed. Also, hanging out with my friends feels different. It's like my life has changed and expanded in such amazing ways, but here they are, same as ever. I guess I prefer them not to have changed, and truly, I myself have not changed, but my lifestyle has. They still hang out with people they went to high school with, and they still frequent the same places, while I am in a whole new world making brand new friends! I love being back home, but I do miss my friends back in Hattiesburg. I also miss the convenience of having a cafeteria and living in the same building as the people I hang out with. Driving is a pain! Another difference in coming back home is my family. I no longer live under the same roof as they do, so I feel like we have so much catching up to do! Anyway, that's my spill on coming home from college.
On another note, Hurricane Gustav seems to have done most of its damage. Luckily, it was not nearly as strong as expected. Thank God. Heading north from Hattiesburg on Sunday, Highway 49 was like a war zone! The south bound lane was filled with ambulances, school buses, and national guard trucks headed to the cost to help prepare for the worst. I passed a poster stuck on a street sign that said, "Praying for Gustav evacs." It made me smile. Little things like that prove to me that there still is good in the world, and that people truly do care about one another.
That's all I got, folks. Peace out.
