wonderful.

I love music. I vowed to myself that I would blog about music and how big of an inspiration it is to me. Not tonight though, but it has def made an influence the past few days. I just want to blog before I get too busy this week. 2 DAYS UNTIL BOONE. THANK GOD. However, before I get to Boone I will have to do a few things. Tomorrow I plan to see Natalie for our wonderful breakfast filled with essentials of beginning a good morning and a good semester. I'll have to say bye to her for awhile, but after going to her concert the other night, I think I can manage. She is a wonderful singer and her new stuff is fantastic! After breakfast I plan to go to Showmars, as always, and then I have a nice Charlotte date with my roommate to indulge in summer before it slips through our fingers and we find ourselves back in 108. This got me to thinking, (as well as Eli's first day today) I envy everyone in normal majors. I almost wish that this semester would mean class schedules, taking notes, almost falling asleep in desk during 180 min periods, and studying to regurgitate information back out on multiple choice tests. I miss the backpacks, the way you would just carry around all your necessities in it and slouch it on the floor as you found your new desk and began evaluating the class surrounding you, only to pick out a notebook and a pen to begin the day. It's funny how those little things are the ones that I find myself missing. I cannot wait to be Ms. Gonzalez, but as I've found out in these past few years, being on the other side doesn't necessarily mean that the grass is greener. I have orientation on Wednesday for CMS which will then turn into some time with Scags and then to pack my bags for a 5 day trip to 3,333 feet. I'm pretty excited. Especially since I have already been making plans with many wonderful people once I'm in Boone. I really need to go and finish Harry now, and just rest because I know that these next few days sleep will seem like a distant memory.

Dear freshmen in college, I envy you for beginning the wonderful road to finding yourself that is college. Take nothing for granted. Especially the simple life. Love, an old geezer.
