I know, I know. I haven't posted in forever. I'm sorry. I've been quite busy.
A recent conversation with Elissa has prompted me to write in my blog. We briefly brought up the feeling of being stuck here while things go on at home that we wish we could be a part of or help fix or change. It's tough being out here. It really is. It has gotten significantly better since, oh, first semester Freshman year, but I'm still adjusting to the distance and the lack of involvement with people from home. Selena's recent visit (which was awesomely amazing) has also sparked this feeling. I'm away from home so much that I don't even know where home is anymore. Is home Oberlin? Is it Walnut Creek? I feel as though I don't fully belong in either place. At the moment they seem to be temporary placeholders for some future home, but I absolutely despise not knowing where that home will be. I just want somewhere I can go as a safety net where I know I'll always be welcomed. Oberlin isn't that place. Walnut Creek isn't that place. Where is it? How long will it take for me to find it?
Blah. I would write more, but I have a massive headache and I should sleep. I promise to update again soon.
