Ahh... Only a few days away from the coveted holiday known as Valentine's Day. The festivities on campus this week are everywhere. The bookstore is having a sale where you draw a hug or kiss and you have so much percent off of your purchase, you can put an ad in our student newspaper to tell your significant other how much you love them, Thursday night there is speed dating (with tons and tons of door prizes) and also a Valentine's Day dance... I know there are other festivities too, but at the moment, it all escapes me.
To top it off it's getting warmer outside!! I'm down to wearing my jacket instead of my warm winter coat. That makes me smile. Sadly though, it's been raining since yesterday, ans this morning it was snowing! I feel lucky here though because back home in TRF they had freezing rain and school was canceled and the road conditions were deemed "deadly"... However, my mom always worries about the weather and she was the source of my weather information, so it very well could be not as bad as she made it seem. Gotta love mom's, right? :)
Sometimes when I think about it, I wonder if my mom is having a harder time with me being away from home than I do. Granted I miss home everyday.. and miss my dog Harley, but my mom has an equally hard time. She was super happy this last weekend I was home, and she told me countless times that she was. Also, whenever I talk to her on the phone after a few days... sometimes almost as long as a whole week, she will tell me how good it is to hear my voice. See, I am my mom's only child, so I think part of it has to do with that. My mom and I are really close, we always have been. I feel bad for my mom because I know she always worries about me, but I have always been self-sufficient. I'm doing just fine. :) It's comforting to always have someone that cares about you that much though. So be grateful for who you have in your life! We always have guardian angels in our life whether we know it or not. Somehow my mom still seems to watch over me. Every morning she sends me an email that always makes me smile and brightens my day, and that alone helps with homesickness. Never fear! There is always a way to get through it.
I am feeling inspirational and when I am I like to find a quote or two. So, here it goes:
"So many of our dreams at first seems impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”
- Christopher Reeve
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
