Well I guess should blog a little bit too since I can see I've been falling behind. I really enjoy talking to you and Dad every week because I miss home so much still. I have been feeling more comfortable here but there's still the part of me that wants to be close to home. I am slowly learning how to live this new part of my life, being away from home and being out in the world and all. At times its pretty scary to think about and then I remind myself to just take it one day at a time. What gets to me most about living here is knowing how much you and Dad miss me. I guess that's just the part of me that cares so much about what others think and how I am so appreciative for you two.
I've been torn between two sides these past few weeks in figuring out what to do. There are days when I want to come back to the U and then there are days (especially) when I'm in the journalism classes that I really want to stay and pursue journalism. I can tell I have an enormous interest in Journalism (Not sure on what part of journalism though) but I am so intrigued when I'm in the class that I just want to do more and more. There is also the piano. I am also thinking about where to go in piano. If I stay here, I would prefer to concentrate on journalism and really excel there. I would stick this semester out with the piano. One aspect that has kept me still with the piano is that I think sometimes I will never pay attention to that kind of music if I don't play. But I understand you can still be an avid fan even if you don't have some fancy degree. I can tell this is a time of significant change for me and a vastly different environment and I'm not sure how to handle it. It is much different than high school, but I'm sure these are things all young adults go through.
Of course, none of these things I've been thinking about have been set in stone but I figured you would be interested in what's going through my mind nowadays. I hope this helps and I will start blogging more frequently now since I'm back to school.
Love You

First of all, we love that you miss us because we miss you. What goes around, comes around. But you must know that what we want for you is not to be static, and stay at home forever. We aren't separated permanently, which is the most important thing to remember.
ReplyDeleteI think it's all part of the process, trying to figure out where to go in life. Just remember, you don't have to do that on anyone's deadline. If you haven't figured it out by April, that doesn't mean you can't ever transfer back. Just the opposite. People change schools all the time and at all times of the year.
Of course, I think you are more than just a music appreciation guy. You should, and will, always play piano. Check out the blog of Bif Smith's. Piano is not his career. I wish I could remember what is.
Anyway, relax and don't be so worried about "the final answer." I think we've talked about the first two years being a sorting out time. People also change majors frequently.
I majored in history undergrad, and did journalism as a master's. There are many, many choices.
Try to enjoy your time there. Even if you stay four years, it will be brief in the context of your whole life.
And remember how much we love you and admire you. We are fine - just as long as we get to see you on vacation!
