From homesick to sick of home.

Hey Friends,
Isn't it funny how life works? I spent the better part of first semester wishing I was back in Gig Harbor. So much to the point that I probably missed a majority of fun and mayhem to be had my first semester of college. Flash forward to summer 08...I am sick of being home. It's hard to believe I lived here for 18 years. Don't get me wrong, I am very fortunate to have grown up in the family and town I did, but seriously enough is enough. I need out. I hate having my life reliant on others, sharing a car, constantly checking in, making sure it's ok if I go somewhere. I want my life to be my life...meaning I make the decisions. What sucks about this is that I don't get to make the decisions until I make the payments...looks like mom and dad will be calling the shots for a while. Thankfully USF isn't too expensive..what's another 49,ooo anyway. Let's just say I am really looking forward to being back at school. I can't wait to go on a walk at 2am just because I feel like it, or run to the mission for midnight nachos, or just leave and wander about the city, and not have to justify/beg for permission. It is also weird to go from being around friends/people in my age group 24/7 for the last 9 months to spending most of my time with 40+ers and the kids I babysit. I know age diversity is good but there's something about peers that is irreplaceable. Well thanks for listening to my ramble. I am sure it is what every other overprivileged, college going, American female is wining about. Thankfully it is all I have to complain about.

Love Forever,
Kailey

P.S. I have found a new show to watch...Weeds.

I know how you feel about the small town thing, I mean I can't even take a walk at 11 pm without a cop pulling over and asking what I am doing.

i second pretty much everything kailey said, except that i don't have to beg to go out because i don't go out since i have no one to go out with, i'm not really sure which one is worse, but i totally know how you feel.
