It's official, I will not be living in Minnesota. Maybe I'll have a summer cabin or something if I ever strike it rich, but Minnesota has way too much baggage. I like being available for things and events and what not, but good god, all I ever think about it the next thing I need to do. My life in Minesota has always revolved around other people, and while I enjoy that in small doses, I need a place to go when it's all over, and currently that place is my parents couch or my sister's bedroom, where I happen to be at this very moment - using her computer because my parents don't have wireless internet and I'm too lazy to crawl under her desk to get the cord.
I love my friends and I love my family, but I like this lifestyle a little too much, I think - I have no responsibility except actually making it to all of my destinations. I rarely have to bring anything, except myself. I am the "That Crazy Amy." The problem is, I have a life outside of this, a life that has responsibility, expects things of me, and demands a pretty big chunk of my focus. Although, after this semester that demand will go down, and I certainly have chosen the responsibility, but the 90% of the time I spend in North Dakota is terribly boring otherwise, and unfortunately I can't just shut school off two weeks befoe finals.
Thanksgiving was nice - good food, good people, bad sports on TV. It always goes by so quickly. You see these people a handful oftimes a year and your supposed to catch up with all of them in just a few hours, most of time, while eating. But then at the same time, it probably why everyone still gets along and has fun the whole time - no one really knows anyone.
And, on that note, I am being beckoned by children and I can not refuse. More later.
