Almost There

Well so close to coming back home. Less than two weeks. I look forward to seeing you guys. We should go see Harry Potter during that week too. Looking forward to going to Notre Dame this week and I will keep you updated.

Had a little breakdown yesterday as I really started to analyze this semester. I mean when it comes down to it, this semester hasn't been the best and I think something needs to change. I'm not sure if its been the lack of stuff to do and as a result me getting bored. In terms of classes they have required significantly less studying time for me to do good in the classes, leaving me to feel bored and unfulfilled.

Now I would like to think its just a matter of time for these things to play out and the hard work I put in for the past year to pay off, but it hasn't seemed so this semester. I take News Reporting next semester and that requires lots of time out of class. Something I'm looking forward to. I've also kept telling myself, you know I need to get involved with the student paper. But I haven't done that, which falls on me. I am going to talk to my Spanish partner who works for the paper and ask him how I can get started, maybe get something done before the semester is over, but at least be able to start at the beginning of spring semester.

This past week I ran into a girl from my English Lit class last semester. We talked for a bit about things like the J-school and the school in general. Her, another out-of-state student from Mobile, mentioned how she hasn't really found where she fits in yet. I understand how she feels. I can't put a finger on it, but that is how it feels and I need to figure out a way to change this. I think it has a lot to do with the atmosphere in general on campus.

I know you always worry about me. I simply wanted to let you know some things that were going through my mind right now. I'm going to work on changing some things. I suppose its all part of the process in finding out what works and what doesn't. There are also plenty of positives as I was recently elected to an Exec Board position in the Fraternity and piano is going well. Love you and looking forward to Thanksgiving!
