Never ceasing to be amazed.
Homes Sweet Homes
Saturdays are great, yet different depending where I am. If I'm at home, I enjoy getting up around 8:30 to eat breakfast with the family, a nice omlet with cheese and orange juice to walke up to. If I'm in Edinboro, I arise around 10:00, chill around, and finally get out of my pj's at 1PM. Funny how culture can change you without even knowing it. But then again, if someone was making me a cheese omlet every Saturday in Edinboro, I just might get up.
I won't be home for quite some time, in fact, not until mid October. I was planning to go home next weekend, but due to a special invitation from the President to all Highland Ambassadors to watch a football next Saturday in the President's reserved section with free food and drink, I decided to seize that oppritunity and spend the weekend in EUP. It's good in a way, it's economical and practical. My parents don't have to put $20.00+ dollars in the gas tank and I can get more time "living the college life" which AKA is just spending another weekend in Edinboro. I do like the weekends here, all kinds of things happen- movies, trips, food, more movies, more food, and all sorts of adventures. I also enjoy the church I attend in Edinboro, even a little more so than my church from home.
Yet there are some things I do miss from home that I am itching to return to. One is my new baby cousin, who is growing like a weed- and I'm missing it. I miss my dogs and cats, they probably have no idea where I went driving off to. And of course, home cooked meals, family, and the countryside.
I was thinking about it yesterday- I want the best of both worlds. My major deals with Public Relations, which one would see as a professional city-slicker job with the fancy, expensive apartment and little dog that fits in your purse. Yet I love the countryside, even the smell of fresh cut grass, big dogs running around wherever they please (sometimes, unless they are on lock down because they can't behave). I'm learning to not fit into sterotypes- each person is different. When people ask me what I plan to do with my major, I'm not quite sure how to answer them. Of course a part of me questions each day whether I should be taking what I am, taking the minor I am, but then another part is reminding me to trust God and let him lead my path. Now that doesn't mean that I'm going to be ingorant about the whole matter and end up graduating with a diploma that I don't intend on using, it's letting God guide me where he wants me to go, and right now a major in Speech Communications with a focus in Public Relations and minor in Graphic Design sounds just fine. (Even though I hate the project I just finished for Graphic Design. Silly class. Blah.)
It's hard to have two homes, a constant little tear between the worlds, but it's ok, I only have one time in my life to expereience this- savor the moment while it last. I'm off to eat, then to do laundry, and read some more. Enjoy your Saturday everyone, I know I will.

Ahh yes, the presidential suite with free food and drink. Can't beat that. Well, actually you can. You could be a media member. Then you get that at every football game. Unfortunately, most stadium's definition of free food and drink is pop and hoagies from Subway. Getting up early for breakfast is overrated. I'd rather just sleep and have brunch or something. You know that's the way to go now.
