So, as you can tell, most of my blog is all fun and games. Me talking about the weather, me talking about my inability to blog effectively....right now I'm gonna take it down to a semi-more serious note.
Part I: I am missing home a lot.
Not just because I wish I had my purple velvet blazer and a pumpkin spice latte in hand. I am really having a great time here, and making great friends, but there is no replacement for the comfort of being around people who know you and love you for who you are. You think I would know by my third college experience that it is rough starting out and having to maneuver around pleasantries, etc., but it honestly always shocks me a little bit. To sum things up: I am loving this experience, but come December 17th I will be extremely glad to be on a plane, on my way home.
Part II: I am freaked out about the future.
All of the sudden I am realizing that being a "grown-up" is just around the corner for me. What will that bring? I have no idea. Since I have gotten to Edinburgh I have: started an application for Teach for America, started an application for Duke Divinity School, contemplated starting to study for the GRE, wondered when I should start applying for jobs, stalked craigslist's housing classifieds to see how much I am going to need to make to put a roof over my head depending on where I live....
All of that is just to say, the whole "real adult life" thing is setting in. Like majorly. And I don't really know what direction my life is going to take once I graduate.
Any who, that is probably enough of all that. To brighten the mood you should check out this super sweet video. So sad I missed these people being in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival:
