And alas I am back in Eugene. Again. And I actually don't mean that in a bad way, what I mean is that I was actually here last weekend (Saturday night) because I went and saw Sheldon theatre's "Romeo and Juliet." But I was too lazy to blog when I was here that night soooo I didn't. And it was a super quick trip so I didn't really see the point.
Anyway, now I am legitimately back in Eugene for Thanksgiving break. I got here late yesterday evening, and I have to say, from the moment I have been back everything has just been really strange. Okay, not strange but just...not normal. I kind of expected to have that feeling though. I have literally been living in a bubble in Seattle, a bubble of just me, my SU friends, SU classes, and Seattle-like activities, and getting out of that bubble was just this huuuuuge reminder that there's life outside of Seattle. That sounds really bad but whatever. It's just, going to college, you kind of create this own little world for yourself, and once you get so immersed into that world you sort of forget that there are other worlds consisting of other people.
For example, I went and visited my old high school today (Sheldon). Well not really, I just saw a couple of my favorite teachers. I didn't really have time to go see everyone; I'm saving that for winter break ;). As soon as I walked onto the campus, I immediately felt like I never left. I never graduated, moved on, went to college, anything. I was just a regular old senior again going to class. Okay this totally contradicted the point I was trying to make with this, but whatever. The point I was TRYING to make was: that going back to Sheldon today opened my eyes, and as rediculous as that sounds, I now realize that there is....wait for it...life outside of Seattle! What. A. Concept. And people actually like function and like do regular daily life things and stuff. Yeah.
What was nice about this visit though was that I got to talk to my favorite teacher Mrs. Alderman for like an hour. For those of you who know me, you know that in the past year I have confided in her a lot with pretty much everything in my life, and honestly it has been super weird not just having her around for the past couple of months. We talked mostly about like college and stuff, but it was still nice, because I have missed her a lottt. Pretty much within the time we talked she managed to give me advice on just about everything I am doing, as well as you know, find something to laugh at me for. I keep trying to convince her to move to Seattle and come teach at my school, but uhh that has yet to happen. haha.
I think I'm going to end this post with that note because there isn't really anything else that I have the energy to talk about right now...and I just don't think this post will flow correctly if I change the subject this abruptly. I will certainly keep you updated with this Eugenian weekend though. Hopefully, if I can waddle out of bed on Friday post-Thanksgiving dinner. Haaaaaa.
See ya!
