October.

It is nearly mid-October... where has the semester gone?? My weeks go by so quickly. When Sunday night rolls around I am already looking forward to Thursday and the weekend. My days are always filled with something; there is never a dull moment. Working at 5am twice a week is starting to wear on me in a bad way, and I am wondering how much longer I will be able to handle it. None of my classes have overloaded me with work yet, but that can't last much longer. Lambda pi Eta (communication honors society) is going really well and we have had at least ten new applicants this semester! I am getting new emails every day from people who want more information and want to join. It's really uplifting, especially since we only had 1 member at the beginning of the semester!

I haven't been home in far too long, and that is starting to really bother me. I miss home so much, and I miss my friends and my family. Lately there have been a lot of things that remind me of things back home, and I always get really worked up emotionally, because I miss it so badly. I haven't spent more than a few days at home in over a year, and I don't like that. I miss the familiarity, though I know that nothing back home is very familiar to me anymore. I think I miss the way things were when I knew it, like Subway, and my friends from 3 years ago. It's so strange to think how much something can change in just a few months. It's almost frightening! I need to stop thinking of change as a bad thing and start to think of it as a new adventure. Change is inevitable.
