The Ride

So, as well meaning as all of my intentions have been, a week has passed with no update on my marvelous sojourn. Of course, the fact that i super glued my hands together on accident shouldn't be considered. Nor should it be taken into account just how long I walked around without realizing that my insoles were in the wrong shoe. And I just know that it doesn't matter that some of my professors make me want to find a tall cliff and a strong alibi. None of that matters, cause I'm living the dream.

Anyway, for those who don't know, this past weekend, my sister and only non-married sibling came and stayed with me for three awesome days. We went to a rugby game, played in the library, saw the ugliest looking goat-thing in the world, and watched movies on my 15" laptop on the floor of my tv-less dorm room. And it was GREAT!!! In fact, as soon as I have the time and motivation to move, I may just put up every single picture we took in a slideshow. Of course, I have to figure out just how to do that, but I'm working on it.

Seeing my sister was truly amazing, but it also made me realize something. I have been at college for over a month. In fact, I have semester midterms for all my classes in a couple weeks. Where has the time gone? I suppose it's relative. The older you get the more time you have experienced and therefor can be called upon to shorten the current experienced perception of time, but still. Before I know it, I might just be on that front porch swing. Darn it though, the spot next to me is still lookin' pretty empty :)

Anyway, I guess my parting wisdom in this post is that sometimes life is hard. Sometimes, things just don't go right at all. Then again, sometimes they do. But the whole point is, life is going. It is a fixed construct completely unstoppable in this earthly coil. So why not jump on, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride.
