There never was a place were I could be totally happy

WARNING: This will be long.

So this past weekend, I went to jersey and saw everyone! All the kids I have not seen since leaving school, and it made me "super" excited to see them. First on friday night pam had a pool party at her house, and almost everyone was there. K-Laz, My lover, George, Alyssa, Dino and of course Pam was there when I got there. Then Amanda came, and then a big group of folks, Chris, Jo Anna, Dave, Greg, and Scott H. OMG it was so good to see them. It felt like 2 months hasnt elapsed, like we left LaSalle last weekend. I find it absolutly startling how easy it was to pick back up because all of us didnt really get close until like a month, 2 months before school ended. It just makes me happy to know that I've really found true good friends at LaSalle, that we have kept in such good touch over the summer, and that when we go back to school it will be just like when we left. Anyways, on Friday we played death basketball, "poor george is drowning in the deep end" and ultimate chicken fight, "It's just a chicken fight". Afterwards we chatted about some interesting things, played cranium (which we should have won)and took K-Laz on her first WaWa trip ever. Amazing. Then we did the classic girls night, we talked and slept on Pam's Gram's living room floor. We then proceeded to sleep till like 1, i think. We then chatted about grey's and harry potter over bagels. The rest of the day we spent in excellent fashion, watching the tour and CODE BLACK (best episode of grey's) =). And then we saw Matt Duke....lets just say amazing. Dreamy good singer, simply, "If he sang it, i would do it." We then watched RENT, which I had never seen but had listened to the music constantly, personally I thought it was amazing! Then on Sunday, it was the Golden Girls fashion show at Church, we worked it. And then some tour and donuts, and it was time to leave. So sad....I can't wait to see those girls.

After leaving on sunday, I made a suprise visit to my grandparents, who live about a half an hour from pam. When I arrived, my pop-pop, aunt and a few cousins were there. They were shocked. As was my grandmom, other aunt, and other cousins when they arrived at the house. Now you might think that was alot of people but it really wasn't, that was prob less than half of my family. But it was nice to hang out with them becuase I havent seen them in a while. We worked on my dad's scrapbook which my grandmom and aunts are making for my dad's 50 bday, so that was fun, the yearbook side of me was oozing out=). I then had to leave because well i still had a 3 + hour drive home. And thanks to damn Deleware it took almost 4 hours. All in all it was an amazing weekend, got to see everyone but of course I missed my Usuals.

See this is the issue, when I go away for weekends my friends are all still home, without me. Now i know they miss me, they make this evident by the drunken phone calls, which I love...but I still miss them. Like last night we went to laura's house, just 5 of us and had a dance party...so much fun. I love that this summer we have become so close and it makes me smile. So the big deliema is what happens when we go to school? Now we will stay close, and leaving will make me cry, but once at school I will be without out them, kinda like now when I am at home without my La Salle kids. This balancing act is hard, and I don't like or appreciate it, I wish I could just be in one place with all the people I love. It's just not fair. Now I know this sounds whiny but I wanna and this is my blog....so deal. How has everyone else dealt with this? How do you keep your friends from home close when you are at school? I know I did it last year, but it just seems this year is gonna be so much harder. Anyways I guess what I am trying to say is that this whole going back to school is gonna be bittersweet.

In other news, I only have 2 more weeks of camp:( I'm gonna miss my little kiddes so much. But this summer is kinda giving me an idea of what I want to do in a career, well not really definate but an idea, im thinking maybe a pediatrican. Becuase I love working with these little kids, and Biology is like my greatest love. Like when the little kids get hurt, I always want to be the one in there giving them an ice pack and trying to make them feel better. So that's an idea. But if I do that my second love is left out, yearbook. Which by the way, i can't wait to start....yearbook confrence in 3 weeks:-D!! So with that I was thinking biomedical publishing. I dont know, I dont even know why I am writing about this becuase frankly, it's summer I should just be chilling out, but I guess I am a "thinking in the future" kinda girl. But I think that should be all for now, adios....

I have no idea how to balance it. It just flows that during the summer you naturally talk to school friends a smidge less, and during the year home friends a little less. Somehow, everyone seems to understand. And if they don't, all you really have to do is explain it to them. People usually understand.

sounds like you guys had a great rest-of-the-weekend! I'm glad, I just wish I could have been there for the late night girlyness and greys, and rent, and matt duke...man I'm getting more jealous just thinking about it!

anyways, about the balancing act? no clue. I'm in the same boat as you. One thought is this whole blog thing has helped me keep in touch and feel like I'm staying closer with people from LaSalle over the summer. So maybe it can do that for home friends during the school year? I think since college has started though, we're all bound to be in a perpetual state of missing people. Its just the way life is now.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound so depressing.

Flowers and bunnies and unicorns and sparkles! There, better? :)
