I don't know why, but I'm feeling very mushy and homesick and am majorly missing my friends and family today. I think a big part of it has to do with seeing all the fun my best friend is having in France, where she is studying for a semester. She posts pictures and she looks like she's having such a great time. She is sharing this awesome experience with all these new people, and it makes me sad that I can't be a part of it... or maybe I just wish that I could have such an experience. I would love to be able to travel and study new things, but I am stuck with working, in a state I don't really like living in, with bills and responsibilities. This morning I saw kids walking to school and I was like, I want to be in school again. I have this strange love of learning, I guess- I just love books, and taking notes, and expanding my knowledge. Maybe it's time to check out some online courses again... although I really don't think I can afford to take more classes right now. Why does education have to be so stinkin' expensive?!? Aw well, I will figure something out- even if it is just picking a topic and going to the library to get books about it. I've always had a desire to "self-educate" and I just never seem to get into it. Maybe this would be a good time- it's free that way, and I can learn about whatever I want. I wont be in a beautiful European country, but I can find new and beautiful places where I am. In the meantime, I can still miss home and I can plan up awesome vacations to take in the future when I've settled more and can spend that time and money making those experiences. Good, I'm glad I've had this talk with myself. :)
