Welcome to the pond

Sitting here listening to Nickel Creek and thinking about my life. This is my LAST year of college. We are in week six, which means my school year is HALF over. After this term and next one, there is no more school. I won't be in classes anymore. I won't be in the dorms anymore. I won't wake up to a nice green college campus anymore. I won't be passing the religious freaks and people handing out flyers anymore. I won't be walking down 13th Ave. anymore on my way to and from class. This is all kind of scary. Well maybe not scary, but definitely shocking. To think that this will all END this year. I'll be moving to a new stage in my life, just like I did four years ago. Wow! I admit college isn't the same thrill it used to be, but I sure will miss it at this time next year. I know I'll miss this dorm room, my own little home-away-from-home. But ah! Maybe soon I'll have the ultimate dorm room - my own apartment! How cool will THAT be??

Valentine's Day approaches. Being the nice young romantic guy I am, I don't hate it. And plus, even if you DON'T have a date or a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you DO have friends and you DO have a mom. Love doesn't have to be a relationship. I definitely believe in love. I gotta have it. I need it. I crave it. So Valentine's Day is really cool for me. And by the way I do indeed have a Valentine or two this year ;) so I'm all set. Poems will be written, good times will be had by all. Well anyway, have a good week everyone!! If you don't have a Valentine, at least buy some candy for YOURSELF!!
