where is home exactly?

where to begin...i guess at the beginning--of the school year that is. condensed version: tough season of xc, realized skiing is one of the best things that has ever happened in my whole life, had some of the greatest classes ever (AP Chem and AP gov peeps, you know what i mean), went to prom alone, met a lot of socially awkward people, graduated without crying and ate too many doughnut holes at the party (they were FREE okay??).  Senior year for me was the most stressful year of my life in social terms, but also the most joyful. I did a lot of growing up, as did the people who are closest to me (yes, that means you guys). I remember looking at all of us a lot of times and imagining where we would be in 1, 5, or even 10 years. Would we visit one another? Start families? Be successful in our overall lives? I know, it kind of made my brain swell a bit too, but its reality. I have a cheesy quote i liked, ready? "what lies behind us and what lies before us are trivial matters compared to what lies within us". idk who said it, but it reminds me how lucky i am to know three beautiful, insightful, creative individuals like you all. I can't wait to see where your lives take you <3
i barely remember the start of summer before i went to virginia as always. I saw my little cousins Eric, Rachel and Brody who are cuter than anything plus they kicked my butt at twister. My grandma is doing well, we watched some movies with her and apparently each and every one was the stupidest thing shes ever seen :P i felt really torn about leaving this year. I couldnt get enough of the smell of hay and flowers, fireflies, family BBQ's and late night talks with people i love but only see once a year. Also, the 99% humidity made my skin/hair sooo soft and i never got my aunts very attractive neighbor boy to sell me one of is CDs. Before i headed home though, i had a medical conference which was more disappointing than anything, though i did make some friends, watched a knee replacement surgery and learned to suture a banana (i can tell guys that on our first date lol) Shortly after returning to bend we had to say goodbye to someone we all care about to some degree, and it was inevitably sad. But just as S and i have recently reconnected with old friends, i can see how things tend to come full circle and balance out. Life is funny like that. Later in i went to my START session with katie and was very overwhelmed by all of the requirements i need to satisfy the general university, school of science, honors college AND my individual dept. One step at a time i guess. Now im home, but im sure you three all know that things are clearly shifting. I feel almost like a stranger in my own life--caught in the transition. rather than things getting harder, i like to think they will just be more in depth, more exciting than scary. We're going to meet some amazing people (some of whom will be handsome i hope) and have some once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we will of course be sharing with one another the next four years. Hey, it will make for some great stories.
That basically concludes the content of my mind for now, dont worry, there will be more sappy stuff at a later date. I hope we can all go to cultus (S, please please with a cherry on top??), hike south sister, have a tent party and some sleepovers together before the unavoidable goodbyes. I love you guys, and i miss you already
