Back Home to Louisiana

This past Friday, I had the opportunity to take my mom back home to Louisiana. We left out early Friday morning to beet all the traffic and to not feel like we'd been on the road all day. We got there around 9:00 (Central time) and it was already starting to get hot. I didn't do too much on Friday but see a lot of family. I stayed with my aunt on my dad's side of the family that night and the next.

Saturday was really special because it was my late grandmothers birthday. So we all went up to the cemetery and did a kinda of memorial thing there. It had started raining while we were driving up there. Luckily it slowed up so that we could pay our respects. My mom read a nice poem that she wrote and all the sisters let go their balloons at the end. It was really enjoyable for me because me and my grandmother were close.

Sunday was too funny. I went to my first ghetto wedding. I have never been to a wedding like this in my life. It was one of my cousin that was getting married and the whole thing was like a big joke. There were people smoking and drinking during the wedding. There were people walking around for the entire time the service was being held. It was outside and there wasn't enough chairs to even seat everybody. The order of the service was all wrong and they didn't look at each other during the reciting of the vows. It was quite the production.

Back to the Boro

This past weekend, I took a trip back to the Boro (Georgia Southern). It was so hot there that you would break out into a sweat just going from the car to the house. I spent a lot of time with my old roommate while I was there. We went out to eat and watched movies at the house…. after the power can back on that is. Around 6’oclock or so it got really dark and started seriously storming. The storm knocked the power out for at least an hour and a half. It was good seeing and talking to him, it reminded me of old times.

<>I took a little joyride around the Boro to see if there was any new stuff that had been built while I had been away. They look like they’re trying to build the little town up. They’ve added some really nice apartments down there (much better than the one I stayed in). There were some new businesses there as well. I couldn’t tell if they were going to make it because there was like no one down there at all (students).

On Sunday I walked around the campus a bit just remembering all the things that I did while I was there. I remember the first night I stayed in my room my freshman year and what that fist moment felt like to be out of the house. Memories of me and my girlfriend meeting up for lunch, going to see free movies or watching the baseball games, and running in the rain to get to class. I can’t forget all the late night I spent at the library trying to study for a test or the cold morning that I walked in for my first class at 8. I was kinda taking aback from it all. I really did enjoy myself down there and it was harder to say goodbye than I thought.

Time To Relax

This past weekend, my lovely girlfriend took me to Myrtle beach for our three year anniversary. I have to admit that it was a lot of fun. We ate good, had fun a the beach, and more importantly, we enjoyed each other.

I finally got to relax a bit after a had semester of school. I just transferred to Southern Polly from Georgia Southern. There is a really big difference between the two schools. So far, I can truly say that I had a hole lot more fun down at Southern than I'm have here at Polly, There's just not a lot of stuff to do here at the school. But I will tell you that the work load is really different. I've done more work in the eight week summer semester than I have in the two year I stayed down at Southern. At least that's how it feels. I am enjoying the fact that I'm able to see my girl friend more because she up here too. She goes to KSU and lives about ten minutes away from the house.

I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to the Boro (Southern) so I can totally move out of my apartment down there. I hope I'll be able to see some of my old friends while I'm there. Most of the went home from the summer and I probably wont be able o see them. Unfortunately I'll be sleeping on a blow-up mattress because my bed and stuff is already up here. I haven't decided yet on when I'm coming home, it just depends on who's all there at and if the office is open on Sunday from me to turn in my key. It's going to be hot!!!! The Weather Channel said that it was going to get up to about 96 tomorrow with a heat index of 125. That makes no sense to me at all.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about things and life and I'm trying to grip on things. I guess I'm trying to adjust to being back home and it's not really going so well. My outward appearances suggest that I'm doing good and that I'm truly happy, but I'm not. I haven't really been happy sense returning home (except the trip) and I hope that I will really soon. One can only be unhappy for so long. I've been wanting to talk to my gf about it but the timing of our conversations is all off . Soon I will have to talk to her about it.

Me and my sister are thinking about moving in together once her lease is up. I've got to get a job first which is harder that I thought it was going to be. I'm being really picky about the job I take because I want it to help in launching me to a job in California. I know..... high hopes!!! But I do like it out there and I think it will be a cool place to live and start a family. Back to me and my sister, we're looking at getting a town house with two or three bedroom. I think it would work out well for the both of us. If we don't get a town home then hopefully we can find a cheap place so that we can both save some money for our future planes (apart) .
