Ryan left me today and is heading home to spend time with his family. Which is nice. He deserves some home time, for sure. I, on the other hand am still in Burlington until 3 tomorrow. And then...the long winter break begins. You know that feeling you get when you're watching the first Lord of the Rings movie, just after everyone gets into the Mines of Moria, and Gandalf speaks?
"Now we have but one choice. We must face the long dark of Moria. Be on your guard! There are older and fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the world. It is a four day journey to the other side. Let us hope our presence may go unnoticed."
Yes, that is the feeling I'm experiencing right now. Winters in Vermont are definitely equal to the "long dark of Moria." And winter breaks are equitable to hoping you'll get through it relatively unscathed. I love Burlington, and I love some home time. I love sleeping in my own bed, and catching up with family for a few weeks. After those few weeks though, I feel stuck in a place that isn't where I feel I should be at this point in my life. It's so uncomfortable to be in a town for longer than a week or two where hardly anyone else is your own age. People move to L-ville to raise kids, or to retire. There aren't flocks of twenty-something-year-olds bookin' it to L-ville to party, rage, and network.
Fortunately, due to the most excellent choice by the Res Life staff here at Champlain, I have been selected to be an RA at Quarry Hill next semester.
Which means I have to be back in B-town on Jan. 3rd. Un-fortunately, this means I have to let Emily at Kinney's down again. She was planning on having me work this winter break. But now, I've only got a week and a half to offer my time to her. Also during which time, I have both a dentist and an orthodontist appt where I get to drop about $350 for a new set of retainers. Whoot. (That was sarcasm, folks.)
Oy, well at least I have a job somewhere, right?!
I'll do my best to post again when I can. Right now I need to do last minute touch-ups on this presentation I have to give in my last final.
Wish me luck!
Aloha,
XXOO Megan <3 <3
