No life can escape being blown about by the winds of change and chance.

And though you never know all the step, you must learn to join the dance.

It seems like a lot of things are changing right now in my life. It is hard to be this age because I am stuck between being an adult and a child. I miss my childhood but I do enjoy being an adult. It is hard to make choices about what to do with my time because I am stuck between two different states. I have friends and family here at school and I have friends and family back home.

My family bought a new house back home. I am totally excited for this summer, but it is a little bitter sweet. Things are always changing and I am always getting older. As much as I want to be a child again, I can't be one.

The song I quoted at the beginning was from The Prince of Egypt. I find that some of the greatest things I learn don't come from books, but from songs, movies, plays, books, contemplation and the example of others. I am so glad that we are all individuals and we have different opinions, thoughts, values and we make different choices. I appreciate the differences of the world. Life would be so boring if we were all the same.

Being in University has been a bit of a transition for me. I had a hard time putting myself out there, but I realize that having friends is totally worth the amount of embarrassment/awkwardness that comes with meeting new people. I used to celebrate in the fact that I was a dork, but now I try to hide it. I think a lot of that come with the territory. The social undercurrents of my school are seriously messed up.

ATTENTION ALL BOYS:

MAKING FRIENDS WITH GIRLS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN FINDING A WIFE!!!! STOP BEING STUPID, AND MAKES LOTS OF FRIENDS!!!!

Seriously, people are SO frustrating sometimes. Anyway, I found this clip and it reminded me of my childhood (I actually very strongly remember this specific scene.) Enjoy :)

lol...that "attention all boys" part made me laugh. So, your family bought a new house...does that mean you moved far away, or are you still in the same area?
