Depression...

The time has come and I realize, I am not returning to my beloved village on the plains to move in this week. To do a week & a half of recruitment. To go out & get ready for the semester with my friends. To have Samford Hall looking at me every time I walk downtown for Mellow Mushroom (there are none here and I'm so needing good pizza!), or go to Skybar, Bourbon or Quixotes.

Yes, there is a part of me that is glad that I don't have to spend a week hearing people argue over who met who and such and such. But it's more of the atmosphere of Auburn that I am missing. I vaguely remember 4 years ago, getting ready to move in at Teague Hall, early move in of course, so I could hopefully meet people & not be lost in Alabama alone. I had no clue over the 4 years I would meet some of the best people. Seriously, Auburn gave a lot to me, just like I gave a lot to it by out-of-state tuition.

I dread the first football game. I won't be there. Damn it, I love the football! My roommates make fun of me for making U of A jokes, but I'm telling you, the rivalry will never go away. I'm slowly trying to get them used to the fact that if Auburn is playing, the game is televised, it will be on the TV and there will be some problems if they change the channel. HAHA.

I have small plans to come for the UGA game. The one game I've made it to for all 4 years. I'm going to keep it up, and go a 5th. It's IN Auburn. Why would I pass that opportunity up?!?! I can eat all the things I've been missing, see all the people I enjoy being around, and watch some damn good SEC football with the Oldest Rivalry in the South. What could be a better trip home?

I hate having to grow up. Becoming an "adult" is starting to be overrated. HIGHLY overrated. I know what I'm doing is only going to help me in the future, but it's hard. I wish everyone I knew could come down and visit but I know that's not happening either. All I am glad for at this point in the game is Skype, Twitter, Facebook & Unlimited Texts.

The internship is going well...working a lot. There are some unique people. I've seen a lot of fits be thrown by guests & had one kid try to escape the ride. It's pretty funny. Ask me. I'll tell you. Other than that, life in general is calm. Which is nice. And sooo what I needed :)

Dear Auburn- Thanks.
