Out of sight, out of mind?

Well hello world. I'm sittin in sunny Palm Desert, CA enjoying the sun and fresh air. My sources have been tellin me how brutally cold MN has been and I am so happy that I don't have to be there right now. I most definitely am not a winter person. Hope the first week of break is going well for all. I hope you were able to jump back in to the swing of things are aren't itching to go back to school just yet. I am, however, already sick of having to be a puppy dog to my parents, again. Granted we are on vacation and I have limited places to go and no means to get there, but it's frustrating to go from being your own ruler to having to live under someone else's rules again.

But something that I've been thinking about a lot in the past week is how much does the saying "out of sight, out of mind" really apply. When we came to school, we knew that the people we were leaving behind wouldn't forget us. We knew them forever and had a strong history with them. But what about these friends that we've made at school? With only knowing them for a little over 3 months... is that strong enough to keep a strong bong while hundreds of miles away? I've missed some people so much, especially having spent so much of my time at school with them, and yet now that I'm away from them and far away, not just across the street, I feel like I would inconvenience them if I were to call them. That's probably just me being over dramatic... but I still hold on to crushes that have formed and friendships that have been made. Oy- I'm done with that.

So- 1st semester of freshmen year of college is over. No way. Where did it go? I can't believe how fast this went. Yes, I am INCREDIBLY happy that I'm done with math and fake math (even though I will miss some of the people and being able to make fun of my teacher to his face)... but seriously... this is nuts!

Well, I'm off to check and make sure Jen got home alright and take a nap. I'll be home on Christmas- so to all that celebrate: Happy Birthday to Jesus! - I mean, Merry Christmas. And for all you Jews out there or for anyone who wants: I'm intending on Chinese-ing it up. Call if interested!
