Thoughts on my Family and My Friends

- I'm back at school but not before a major fight with my parents before I left over the car frustrations I have to deal with consistantly. It wasn't any fun but I feel like at least something got resolved from the whole situation. I also had a nice chat with Jodi on the drive up. Man, it really made me miss her. My family has lost the whole concept of spending time together and Jodi more than most since she works up in Fort Collins all the school breaks where we might have had a chance to spend some time together. Next time I'm home I'm resolving to take Julie bowling, take Jenna to a park or something, and maybe see a movie with the older two sisters. My family drives me crazy with some of the things they do but they're gonna be the only ones that are there for me from the beggining to the end.

- I also missed my friends up here at CSU. We all got together and played a game of poker last night and even though luck wasn't on my side, I had a good just sitting there socializing. I think some people take thier friends for granted and alienate them in favor of trying to create a self image they prefer over what they are in reality. Spring break showed me that the friends I've kept from high school are always going to be there for me and there I would be hard pressed to find a greater comfort than to have a group of friends that even when they change they still accept you for who you are. Spring break also showed me that the friends I have up in college have expanded my existance and made me a better and deeper person in the end.

- Its going to be a hard week of school but I'm ready for it. I'm even thankful for this blanket of wet snow I'm gonna have to trudge through to get to class today. Its really soothing. Today's gonna be a good day.
