I'm certainly in a rather melancholy mood at the moment. I have arrived back to the Maryville College Campus to begin my last semester in college. (how and when did that happen?) None of my roommates are back yet... soon it will be loud and fun and we'll all be sharing stories from our different breaks... but at the moment I am just thinking about all the people I'm missing and in a few short months even more people I will be missing.
I miss my family in Huntsville who I saw for a total of 3 days this winter break - so totally not enough time with them. But I will see them soon enough.
I miss Rachel. I had such a wonderful time in Uganda - I loved spending almost every minute with my sister. We had plenty of fun adventures... and one or two rather frightening ones ;)... and some simply annoying experiences... some completely African... some closely resembling an outing here in the states -- and they were all spent with amazing people. I'll expand on these stories another day... soon, I'm sure, but another day.
I miss my brother in Haifa, who I haven't seen in way over a year. I miss my other friends who have been in Haifa even longer.
How much I am missing. And yet, honestly, how could I change my life? I wouldn't want to keep from living my life; and I wouldn't want to keep others from living their life just so I could have them always with me. Oh, "if wishes were wings."
I had a rather different new year's evening this year, and thought about making a resolution but since there was no one to share it with I passed it off to be done at another time. I have just thought of it -- because I am missing so much, and will soon be missing more as my undergrad experience ends, my new year's resolution is to learn how to keep in touch with everyone I care about. I am notoriously bad at correspondence.. but that is what I will work on this year. I have enough people to practice with. Of course, this is one everyone can help me with :).
