Locker Philosophy

So for the past few days, a week even, I have felt incredibly out of sync with my home life, reality. This was because I had college orientation a week ago, during my last three days of high school. Then, upon arriving, I was so tired because Prom had been a few days before orientation which took a major toll on me because of its amazingness. So for the next two days I stayed home and recuperated. Then, I got to spend about 5 days with my friends until I was going to leave for this weekend to go to California.

What ends up happening instead is I spend my entire Friday in an airport watching as my flight was delayed more and more, ultimately taking off at 12:30. It was scheduled for 6:50… Anyway, so I felt weirdly out of touch with people after that day, since all my friends hung out together that night and I missed it. So now today, i spent most of my day home and went out tonight and saw a bunch of my friends. It was a very nice night which ended in a sleepover where I’m still awake and my friends are just so tired they already went to sleep. I’m still out of sync and a bit out of step with everyone at the moment but I’m at least taking steps in the right direction.

For now, though, its Summertime! Graduation is this thursday! Life is incredible! The next few weeks will be filled with such good times, I can tell. And then all of this is leading to my big trip of the summer, where I’ll be spending two weeks building houses for habitat for humanity in Alaska, then going on a cruise in Alaska afterwards. I’m very excited to see how this summer will unfold. 

So now I realize that on the verge of Graduation, and the step to something new and exciting, brings change prematurely. I feel like I am already preparing so much for college, because I’ve seen it and am excited to finally get there. Its going to be so great, I am so happy that I’ll be there soon. I will definitely miss home, of course, but the transition from High School to college is such an interesting and welcomed one in my opinion.

Everything is now in perspective to me, as a dedication of what little time I have left in this particular niche that I now find myself in. The free days of summer for me number in the low 40’s from now until the end of summer basically, which is about half the total summer time for everyone else. Thus, every day must become a time appropriate of the bigger picture. Mostly because, the next time I’m free for a long enough time to be social is next summer because University of Michigan’s winter break is only 2 weeks long, to everyone else’s month long. The benefit of it is; I get a four month summer. Out by April 23rd, go back September 2. 

Ah, 3:30 AM ramblings are so much fun to do. This was nice. Fun. Exciting.
