let's do the limbo rock

I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past week or so. Thinking about family, friends, school, work, etc. I'm in this weird transition period. My life now is so different than what it will be in a year. For that matter, it's different than it was at this time last year.

Friendships are changing and I have a feeling that they will continue to evolve. I've been spending more time with people I don't normally spend a lot of time with. It's been good. I wish I would have done more socializing earlier in my college career. It seems that there are some sneaky things going on with a couple of people. I really don't like that. I have been lucky enough to meet some great people in the past year and I have a good feeling they will be a part of my life for a long time. There have been a couple of people who remain a constant and for them I am so lucky. All friendships have their rough spots and I've been really fortunate enough to have friends who have gone down the bumpy path with me.

Tonight I had my first class. Officially I have one more semester left after this. In the next year, I'll move at least twice. It's difficult to know that I have this whole life in one place but in a year my life will be somewhere completely different. Some of it will come with me, some of it will not. It's a lot for my tired mind to process. I'm to the point where I just want to get on with things instead of wondering how it's all going to end up.

I don't know if anything I just said makes sense. I see myself in one place but at the same time I'm somewhere else. I'm trying to figure out how I should deal with that. Things in Brookings are good, just confusing.

My "lame duck" period is underway.
