Home...ish

Monday, April 30, 2012

So I've been home for all of eight hours and I'm already missing my other home... as most of you probably don't know because I never update my blog - mostly because I've decided napping takes priority over all other activities - I have been accepted to UBC, a university much closer to home, with many more academic options for me. While this is all excellent, and I'm so excited to be close to home, and be able to get exactly the right degree, I still had to leave Nova Scotia, the place that I have learned to call home for the past eight months. It's quite odd, really. I've noticed we students all whine and snivel about wanting to go home throughout the semester, then as soon as we actually get home, we whine and snivel about missing our friends, and how boring home is. I'm currently not really in a not wanting to be at school or not wanting to be at home mood. I'm in a sort of middle ground where really I'm just sad to be leaving the place and the people that created the magnificent memories [alliteration - eh, eh]. I keep telling people that I'm nervous about meeting people and making new friends at my new school... but I think in a way I'm most nervous about making new friends, and possibly losing the memories, and the special bond I made with so many wonderful people this past year... it certainly is confusing when "home" refers to more than one place - even more confusing is when it could refer to more than two places!
