Here I sit once more at Tenn Street Coffee. Though today I am drinking White Peony Tea rather than my usual. It's pretty good, little too "grass-like" for my taste, but good overall. Ipod is rocking, laptop is a-typing and brain is wandering.
I'm watching the UPS truck tyr to back up through the foot of snow that is on the ground. Yes that's right, Denver is currently in what the media has been calling "Round 2" It's nice though. This go round is more relaxed. Last time we had over 2 feet of snow literally dumped on the city within 24 hours. It's still snowing right now, but it's a little bit more of a peaceful downfall. I'll take some more pictures and maybe post them. It's pretty.
So with coffee(tea), my music, my laptop, and my brain, I'm now in the mood to both look back and forward. I think the past four years, by the time New Years rolls around, I start getting excited about going back to school. this year not so much. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the fact that there is still a threat that the school will bulldoze our house. Maybe it's the fact that my fall semester ended on not so great of a note with a teacher and I don't want to go back to that. Maybe it's because I'm loving the place where I work and It's hard for me to pull myself away from the amazing people and company. Maybe it's the fact that this is my last semester of college and since I know I'm moving out of the country in July, I just want to spend time with my family. Maybe it's all of this.
I do want to spend time with my friends though and everyone I love in Anderson. I think I have a love/hate relationship with Anderson. The things I love...I love soooo much, my friends, Most of my professors, the opportunities I've had musically and otherwise have been good. But the thing I don't like are enough to keep me away. It's kind of weird. Of course there will be good and bad wherever I am, likes and dislikes, but Anderson just feels different. Maybe it's just because I know that I'm not going to be there for more than 5 months. If you know that you're going to be leaving something soon, you feel differently about it.
So many changes are happening all around me. Friends are getting married, couples are expecting babies, people are gaining opportunities all over the place, and I am going to live in Peru.
So many changes. But that's good.
