The world I left behind

I met with a friend from elementary school today and got caught up on all of the Fremont gossip. Most of it is old news, but I don't really talk to anyone from home anymore. Every time I'm here I'm reminded of why I went to a school where no one from my high school was going. While I love Fremont in it's own little way, I am glad to be away. I like the people in college better than those in high school. College is funner! :) I have just one friend left from high school that I see every break. There are a few that I see only on summer break and that's fine. It's fun while it lasts. I love my life now. I don't really want to settle here in Fremont, but I would. I really don't care where I go. I'll settle anywhere. I'll figure it out when I get there. I've been saying that a lot lately. It's much easier that way. I can't be sure of how I'll feel or see things in two or four years so I don't even want to try. I have finally embraced my procrastination of my essays. I know that I do my worst work when I'm at home on break so I figured that I might as well not even try to force myself to do them if they are not due until Wednesday. I'll bust them out Monday and Tuesday. I've got one part-way done. When I'm at home I just can't get anything done. I'm not in school mode...I'm in vacation mode. I do have to do my reading tonight, but that's not like writing a paper. The information is given to me. I don't have to do anything with the information aside from take a few notes on it so I remember what I read for the quiz on Monday. Now that I have recognized that, I can get on with my evening and not just waste time. Dinner! Then no more wasting time...maybe I'll read some more poetry tonight. That's right, I read poetry for fun last night. I even thought about how it might be fun to write some. I didn't try though because I'm not ready for that yet. Maybe with more reading for fun I'll get there. I want to read some more tonight, but I have to finish up In Cold Blood which means I have a whole lot of reading to do since I'm only about half way through and I've got tonight and tomorrow to finish on top of my reading for school. It's shaping up to be a busy evening. I'll eat now.
