The Little things in Life

I am relearning to love those little things in life that mean so much. A really sweet email from your dad telling you that things will be ok, your mom telling you that you are an improvement over her generation, dancing for a friends photography progect at 11pm in the dark around places in school, and having a professor tell you that though you made a terrible grade on the first test they want you to stick with trying to get a bio minor because you have such a well rounded mind and not everyone can do business/accounting AND science. Those are just the things that have happened to me in the the past 24 hours, and they were the little gifts that I needed after a hard day yesterday.
Life is all about living, learning, loving, succeeding, failing and just picking yourself up. Sometimes one needs a day to get things reorganized and that was yesterday for me, I felt all these heightened emotions around me and they were just making me grumpy and I knew that if I did homework that it wouldnt be great, so I took most of the evening off, and thats just what I had to do. I have a meeting every night this week, followed by recruitment weekend for the sorority and everyone is pushing all these guidelines on me but at the same time telling me that I shouldnt worry about it, it will all just come natural, so my response? just to lay back and not worry about it, if I make a mistake I wont die and it wont be the end of the world. I have bigger, more important things to worry about.

And now for the things that I miss as I am growing up: my parents, I was home this past weekend but I worked the whole time and didnt really get to spend time with them which just plain sucked. My brothers, I havent seen Jimmy since the night before I came back to Transy and its been longer since I last saw Chris, and it just sucks because they mean so much to me, as do my neices and nephews. I miss Jimmy probably more because I feel so close to him, and because I spent more time with him between the ages of 10 and 15. I miss my Payton, having a warm body with me pretty much all the time when I am home is just so comforting and the unconditional love that a dog gives is great. But I guess these are all just things of growing up, you gotta find the things that are most important to you and be able to find a way to keep them in your life if they are so important. I think its one of the reasons going to college was so important for me in my mom's eyes and you know what? She was right!

Well I have a 4 page paper to finish so I will ramble more later!
