  Push

  Okay so I got home a few days ago. I'm really happy to be back in Texas. Everything feels different and yet very much the same. My cats had to take a little while to remember me, but they're back to being their cuddly selves now. The plane ride was not bad. I actually ended up having a friend sitting in the seat behind me cause he layover flight was to Houston, which was really nice and made me feel less nervous. Plus I had someone to talk to.

  I've mostly been just hanging around the house but there are some things I'm planning to get done while I'm here, mostly just routine stuff, nothing special, like getting my license renewed and seeing the dentist. I am going to the mall with my best friend Derek today though and then to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I called him on Friday and we chatted a little. He thought I was in Colorado for the break. It's a long story. But anyway, I asked him if he wanted to go to the mall the next day and he freaked. He's like, where are you, and I said I'm in town. He's like, why are you here. I said, cause that's where my mom lives. He's like, are you lying to me. And I said, you know I'm not. And he's like, I hate you. And I said, you know you don't. And he's like, yeah. I'm so very happy to see him.

  The one thing I'm not happy about is that I do't get to see Jeremy for so long, a little more than three weeks. I'm friends with him roommate Aubrey on Facebook and she sent me her cell number, telling me that he has no minutes on his phone, but that he's missing me like crazy, especially after reading my last status update on Facebook, which she informs him of. So I called her, and I could hear her saying, Jeremy I think there's someone who'd like to talk to you and I could hear him laughing. He was so happy just to hear my voice and we talked for about half an hour. He said he almost cried when he read my FB status, which, btw, was, Missing my old man more than anything. They call significant others and spouses old man and old lady up there, which is kind of disconcerting, being asked if Jeremy is my old man, considering that means father where I'm from. And also being asked if I'm his old lady, considering how much younger than him I am. But I feel so much better now just having talked to him a little. He used to call me everyday and we saw each other everyweekend and sometimes during the week as well. Things are going very well between us and I'm hoping and praying that they continue to do so.

  Well I'll let everyone get back to their regularly scheduled programs now.

  PS I just watched Ocean's Twelve. It was really good.

  The Last Week

  Just a little update on what's been happening lately. It's been 11 days since my last blog post.

  It's finals week here at college. I just took my French final and I really don't think I did very well. I'm not too surprised because I didn't study very much. And it wasn't that I didn't know anything, it was that I didn't know what to say. It was a lot of giving advice and making sentences, which is always hard. I knew words, just not how I wanted to use them. That was my only test today. Tomorrow I have Calculus, which may or may not be easy.

  I also have to go to the bank today to withdraw my tuition money. It's a little more than 4000 dollars, but I've got enough in my bank account. The problem is that it's due tomorrow and I'm such the procrastinator that of course I put it off until the last day. I also need to go to Walmart to get a present for Jeremy. I'm getting towels and jewelry, I'm almost postive. I've got enough in gift cards to get both. I'm leaving on Thursday, in three days, so I need to get it now so I can give it to him when I see him before then. I don't even know if he got me anything, but I'm in a giving mood. I'm going to wait until I get home to go buy something for my mom, cause it will be one less thing to pack. I'm trying to pack light so I don't have to check my bag. And that's all on the present front.

  I'm very nervous about going back home. I know the house will be different, and I'm scared about flying back on my own. I get nervous even when I'm flying with someone, so to go to a totally new airport and fly by myself to the huge semi-familiar airport in Houston is pretty daunting. But I'm hoping that I'll be able to get through it with some of my new found confidence and independence. My fingers and toes are crossed.

  Well that's what's up. Ciao for nao.
