¡Adios, playa Asoleada!

Here I am, the last leg of my Spring Break 2005. Waiting in the Corpus Christi International airport for my 4:00 flight so I can head back to Anderson. My friend Josh is picking me up at the airport tonight where he will be receiving a very funny thank you gift. I didn't know what to get him from the beach, so I thought I would play it safe and give him the goofiest thing I could find. And holy moley, it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It's a coconut that's carved to look like a pirate's head. It's really ugly, but it made me laugh, so hopefully he won't think I'm too weird for giving him that. I'm also getting him a gift card to panera or atlanta bread company or something so it actually looks like I'm thankful for his help. Friends are a wonderful thing to have around. Ahh...friends, it's funny the people who come into your life. It's sad when some people go out of your life. But like Robert Gallagher said, Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine. Ha, good quote. It doesn't help me like change anymore, but it's something to think about anyway. I suppose one of my shortcomings is that I have a hard time adjusting to change. I'm an old fuddy duddy and I like to get things in order and then keep them that way. It's kind of weird, because I think people may not realize this about me until they get to know me. Based on certain aspects of my life, I think people may think I'm not afraid of things, I can just throw caution to the wind and take whatever life throws at me. I suppose that's kind of true in a sense, but I don't necessarily embrace the change without a care. For instance, I packed up all my stuff and I moved 25 hours away from my home to go to a college I found online. Brave? Nope, I was scared as anything, but I knew it was where God wanted me to be. And that really is the only reason I've been able to do anything that may seem "brave" in my life. God guides me, but one thing that he's had to work on with me is my stubborness to just balk at change. I'm the type that needs to set down roots as soon as possible, I don't like not being in the know with what's going on. It's foolish, and proud, but it's me. Well, anyway, change is a good thing I guess. Even change with friendships....somehow. That's what I'll keep telling myself anyway...
