Returning to My City

Forget anything I may have said earlier about men/relationships. Sure not all of them are savory characters, but when you meet one of them that is, then who cares about the dipshits? (really eloquent, I'm aware) I'm quite happy with my life as of late, and although there are some people I'm leaving at home that I'm not super thrilled about, I'm still happy we had this time together. I leave for the city on Sunday. I still have to pack. I'll be putting that off I'm sure..

Things I'm excited for this semester:

• Not living with my parents, as it should be
• The Great Valentine's Day Pillowfight in SF
• Meeting all kinds of new people in my classes
• Taking Fable & Tales, & Astronomy.. & a little bit Jewish Lit
• Vampire Weekend at the Fox Theatre
• Spring to arrive
• The last season of Lost (yes. I'm still following that insane show)
• Glee's Spring return
• Going to some auditions
• Seeing some plays (Most especially High Fidelity: The Musical)
• Spending plenty of days by the ocean
• Crazy dorm pranks and singing with my RA in the halls
• Shower parties
• Shopping
• Exploring even more of the city

Things I'm not super psyched about this semester:

• Surgery
• Leaving behind some of my best friends
• Leaving behind some new ones
• Not getting to talk to/cuddle with my sister as much
• Not having a car (mostly when it's rainy or downright freezing)
• Not being able to watch Wheel of Fortune with my dad
• Not being invited to my mom's concerts anymore ..haha
• No lunches with my petite Grandma
• Frantically searching for summer job opportunities around the same time as finals rush
• Not having the same spring break as my family 

The good outweighs the bad, although surgery is at the top of that list for a reason. Overall I'm quite excited to be headed back. But until then I have to pack.

I wish I had Mary Poppins right about now. I'd be snapping by fingers and everything would be taken care of and we would get to sing. What I wouldn't give to have a voice like Julie Andrews...

On an unrelated note, I miss being in airports. I have just watched Up In The Air twice now, and I remembered how much I love airports. They are amazing for people watching and people interaction. I love the overpriced airline food, the announcer voice to keep an eye on your luggage every 10 or 15 minutes, grabbing a crappy/trash magazine or walking through the cheesy tourist shops, watching planes take off and land and load, seeing people come off of flights with tans, or seeing them reunite with someone in the terminal. I can't help but love it. And plane flights are amazing too. I miss traveling in a plane. It's very likely I won't be heading up in the air anytime soon. But I have been blessed and almost spoiled with the amount of travel I have been able to do so far in my life. And that I actually live in a city AND state that most people love to travel to. Yea, I may not be heading up in the air soon, but I've got enough going for me down on the ground anyhow.

I took this photo on my phone. This is my city.

Time for bed, thanks for reading.
