A. MN Trip

B. School Stress

C. Location

A. There are few words that can describe how incredible my trip home was this weekend. It was so unexpected which was why I think it was so great. Everything from the chilly fall weather to the zillion laughs I had with my family made it unforgettable. There were a lot of ups during the trip, but surprisingly some downs aswell. I loved spending every minute with my family because being away makes you realize how much you take family for granted. My sister and I went to the Gophers vs Badgers football game early saturday morning which was so much fun! I hung out with one of her roommates who I absolutely fell in love with/jealous heidi gets to live her. Another fun part of the trip was a going out for a fabulous meal and having a home cooked meal with the fam. Some of the down sides were having to say goodbye to my house of 13 years. I have come to terms though that its not about the house, its about whose in it. It was bittersweet because I spontaneously got to visit my family, but the short duration of the trip made it hard to say goodbye.

B. My trip home this weekend has definetly caused a hiatus on my schoolwork. I’m not in danger zone yet thankfully, but I have a long day of work tomorrow. I am going to have to be glued to my desk to get it all done. It always seems like school craziness comes in spurts. Maybe this is why college prepares us for the real world so well. It always makes us work under pressure and find a way to party and find time for school. I really hope I can tredge through this week and manage to get it all done.

C. After going home this weekend got me wondering if Arizona is where I’m supposed to be. I definetly agree with the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” and find it very true in everyday life. I constantly find myself wanting what ever I dont have. Although it is totally possible for someone to not fit or mesh well with the school they chose, but I need to figure out the reasoning behind my feelings. Do I consider transferring because I am truly unhappy here or am I just looking for reasons to not like where I am? I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and that what is meant to happen will happen. I am just going to be confident that the what is best for me will play out. All we can do is focus on the present moment, becuase if we look to far ahead or behind we loose our opportunities for today.
