A Wedding

I was invited to a wedding, that turned out to be fake,

but that's okay because, the pictures were fun to take!

Fake

Why do I delight in the fake
When the real is still to be had?
Imagination only brings so much
Satisfaction
I yearn for what is real, and true, and real

What I want cannot yet come to pass
So, alas, I wait
Sometimes in patience
Sometimes in fear
Most times in tears

Is there light at the end of the day?
Will it come my way?

It Must-
I know
It Must-
But I can only
Wait
Wait
wait

New Year

A new year has never felt quite so new. It has always felt like a continuation of the last year, which I suppose it technically is. But there is something different about this year. I'm beginning to feel older, I still can't believe I'm 20, but I do feel older than before. This semester is very different from last semester, I have easier classes--and most of my RA work is already done. I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do when I graduate. I've been pondering the idea of teaching for a few years after graduation. I've also been trying to figure out what I should minor in or if I should change my major. It occured to me tonight that there are so many things I want to learn, and not enough time to take all the classes. But, I've also realized that there are things I can teach myself. Like history for example...I don't need a history minor to learn about the things I'm interested in. The thing that would be more difficult to teach myself would be counseling. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
As good as it was to be at home for break, it is nice to be back and be around all the people here. I really do enjoy more and more being around them. This job has caused me to step out of my zone and interact, it has been good for me.
