this is the sound of settling...

I'm sitting here, trying to figure out where did the summer go?

Three months ago, I was telling myself, three months... that's not bad, I can handle this. Telling Tim that the time was going to fly by... Wow! It did.

I think I just kept myself overly occupied with work and family. Which can be good, but so very tiring.

This is my last week of work answering phones... or being Pam Beasley... hopefully to return next summer... unless something more exciting comes along.. nanny maybe? Actually, if I could house-sit all next summer... That would be splendid.

Ha. Look at me, I'm already making plans for next summer.

This week, I pray it just flies by, and Friday will be here when I wake up. I can't contain my excitement for Friday, and the whole WEEK to follow... So far, this will probably be the happiest times in my life. :)

There is a bit of sadness in me right now, I could be packing up to move back to school... but I'm not. I really do like where I am right now, only T/TR classes, and some online ones, I'm finished by 12:15 on those days. Meaning, I have a four day weekend and a day in between to re-coop from that harsh 8 am. class. Wow, the semester starts in two weeks, have I got my books... no, pencils? paper? notebooks? none of it. Nothing. I do however have a train ticket with my name on it to Alexandria, VA

I guess I just remember that feeling, of being liberated from my parent's guard... being able to just walk out and go anywhere without telling a single soul... that's what I miss most. Plus here, in Charlotte, I have no place to really go... where I can find some peace and quiet, without driving a good 45 minutes...

Oh, I'd love to move, back to Lynchburg... I really kind of like it there, not many people do. But its cute, medium-sized... has some of the most amazing hangout spots, and its so nice to just walk around the blocks of the old buildings... they have so much character. I really like walking down main street, and trying to place what would be going on through those windows 50 years ago... Just makes me happy. 

Ben Gibbard and the boys from Death Cab must be my secret best friends... have I stated this before? I really think we have the same life.

Its been tough for me to concentrate and place my thoughts in a logical, cohesive pattern tonight.

My apologies.
