Changes... They're great, but when you're leaving people behind they aren't so much. Good-byes are so hard to make.

So anyway, I am finally done with all of my classes which results in me leaving Alabama next Tuesday to go back home to good ol' New England with all of its cooler weather since I missed the snow. I cheered when I found out how much snow I missed. Well, I cheered after we got an inch of it down here and I got an ice ball thrown at my eye. I don't need any more ice balls, thank you very much. Especially in my eye. When I have my contacts in. When there is dirt in the ice ball. Well, anyhow, all I have left are my finals. Two on Saturday (Math and Physics :3), one on Monday (English), and one on Tuesday morning (Chemistry D: ). Then I am hopping in the car with my parents, who are flying down to get me which makes me happy, and we're driving to the airport so we can GO HOME! To our home that will be our home for only about 9 days after I leave 'Bama. Which brings me to the next change...

I am moving. Literally, I am moving. I am moving away from the town that I have lived in since I was five (so that makes what, fifteen years?) back to the town I was born in and lived until I was five. I am so excited!! Sure the place I live now I really nice and well-kept, etc etc, and the place I'm moving to is run down and has a much higher crime-rate, but I've missed the place. It is also a lot more interesting than the stuck-up suburbs where most people think they're above everyone else, especially around people who aren't, say, rich. Which I am not. I'm going into the Coast Guard for god's sake! My parents are excited that I'm going to a service academy and into the Coast Guard, that my brother is thinking on applying and perhaps attending (if he gets in) the Air Force Academy or West Point, that my sister who has been professing her wish to go to an Ivy League School all her life has now decided she may want to attend the Merchant Marine Academy since it's the only one you don't actually owe time in a service to after you finish attending. We do not, I repeat, DO NOT have the money to send four kids to college without loans and scholarships like some (a bunch) of families in my town do. We were actually struggling for the last year or two with finances because of a problem with the school system in my town. And to think my parents originally wanted five kids... WOW!!!

So there you have it. Changes. BIG changes. Wow. That is all I can say. Wow. I really can't wait to go home and see what unfolds before my eyes.
