Almost Home

The great news is that I am only six days from being home for a little while! For this I am extremely excited! The bad news is that unfortunately due to the amount of work required of masters students during the summer session I will have to start working at home, ugh.

I'm sorry there is not really much to update everyone on! Life in Ohio is not all that thrilling. . .

But if you want a good time go to the most random website EVER! You could waste HOURS! Not such a great thing for me right now! But nonetheless fun!

Well, I should be signing off and getting to papers and such. . . who am I kidding. . . I won't start that work until tomorrow. . . but as I don't have much else to say I'll let you all get back to what I'm sure is a more exciting life than I have to offer!

Love you all! Miss you all!

You Don't Know Whatcha Got 'Til It's Gone

As I wrap up my time at home I realize how true the cliche is: you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Being home, being with friends, being with family, being at Simon and Jude, it all makes me realize how much I really have here and how little I really have in Dayton. I keep telling myself, "one more year, one more year . . . " Things have not been easy in Ohio, I do not fit into the midwestern world as much as I imagined I would. My eastcoastness has become most evident to me and the illusion of friends has faded. The thing is . . . my friends from West Chester could not be more opposite than we already are . . . yet it works! Not only does it work but they are the most valuable friendships I have ever had! Andrea, Brian, Christine, Fr. Sam, Katie, Lisa, Maria, Michelle, Tim . . . you all mean the world to me! Thank you for loving me for all I am as a person, whether to you that is too conservative, too liberal or just plain NUTS!

The good news is I only have a couple weeks and then I am home for a month . . . in which I fully intend on having that Murder Mystery Dinner Party! So until then, I will pray for you if you will pray for me!
