return to hicksville

The past week has been filled with studying, packing, cleaning, and gallivanting about as the school year comes to an end. It seemed like I was living it from the outside, watching myself. Moments of nothingness were scarce. I can't grasp the fact that I am no longer a freshman in college. I've only been home for five hours and already long to return. We cannot pretend that everyone here has not changed in the past year. Things will not be the same this summer as last. The drastic differences that are sure to be felt scare me. I am only grateful for my renewed/ increased friendship with Teri. That is the only thing held constant during the move.
I also do not know if I will be able to handle living at home the whole summer. I am now accustomed to doing what I want, when I want, where I want. The parental restriction and hovering may lead to a problem. In fact, I get along with my mother better when under separate roofs. Let's not even mention the petty things, like the painfully slow internet connection, and minimal television channels. I do look forward to spending some quality, country time however. "You can take the girl out of hicksville, but you can't take the hicksville out of the girl." This has proven true.

Meh. I promise myself a humorous post in the near future.
