End of Vacation

unfortunately, vacation always ends. But it's a new beginning, which I think is the best way to look at it.
I got to spend so much time with my family, with my two sisters who I am going to miss so much. My older sister went back to the Bahamas and I'm leaving my younger sister here. As I sat next to my older sister yesterday, I just wanted to memorize her face, because for once in my life, I have no idea when I'll see her next. This thing called "life" and "the real world" is actually happening.
The semester starts on monday, and I am still a bit clueless as to where my classes are. Maybe I'll run around campus Sunday night to try and figure out where I'm suppose to be going every day. But I'm taking some good classes, and like I said, it's a new beginning. I hope to meet new people, to challenge myself more to get outside my comfort zone. I'm just floating through life, not always rising to the challenge that life presents to me. This semester, I wish to grow and stretch my understanding, my ideas, my thoughts. I need to always strive to be a better person, to continue to grow, because once you stop growing as a human being, once you stop expanding your thoughts, that is when you become boring and out-dated. No one is listen to you because no one cares.
I leave tomorrow night. On a plane this time. It will take me a fraction of the time to get back that it took me to get to Jersey. I just pray that God will keep my plane in the air.
The heavens opened up today and let down about a foot of snow. I knew that I would be seeing a lot of snow this year, but I had no idea that I would be seeing it in Jersey. It's snowed more here in the past three weeks, than it did in Utah the past three months. But I'll probably be eating my words during the next three months back in Utah because apparently it snows much there. Glad I just got snowshoes. might be using them to get to school in the mornings.
New Year: Welcome!
