trying times.
the holidays have been rough on me. Hearing christmas carols, holiday shopping ads, trees and the such have made me really miss my friends and family.
even though I am surrounded by friends and family out here in LA, I miss everyone back in KC dearly.
I'm quite a bit more fortunate than many of my friends out here who do not have family in Los angeles. At least I can come home to family.so, I can't complain.
in other news, I think I'm starting to get use to the city, maybe even like it. at first, I was in a state of amazement, but wasn't sure if LA was the place for me. Now, I do actually enjoy parts of it, although many of the things that I hated in Missouri are even more represented out here in LA, but..you know...as long as I have friends that help me navigate this crazy place i'll be fine. but, i'm still not sure if LA is the place for me...only time will tell what the future has in store for me.
I was pleasantly surprised at a Teach for america holiday party last night. I almost turned around and went home, dreading it, me being socially akward at these things, but, to my surprise and enjoyment...I had a wonderful time. and I didn't just stick to the people I already see... I was able to talk to people that I haven't seen in months, and it wasn't too akward.
but, what i'm most excited for is that I"M COMING HOME!!!!
in less than 5 days,I'll be chilling in the cold weather town that is Kansas City. seeing my family and friends will be such a good time. seeing these people will be a sight for sore eyes.
I am a bit worried about the weather though, seems as if my blood has already thinned out from being in LA.
I just hope It isn't TOO cold for me. I don't want to get sick on my vacation. if you are in the area, please, contact me, I want to be able to see you all!
With my finals over (yep, still in school), and only a week of school left...honestly, its going to be hard to concentrate on teaching. no doubt my students will have trouble as well... but, I plan to get a bit of work done before the holidays... try to end the year on a slightly more upbeat note...
but..come friday at 12:30.... when the students leave and the teachers are left to their own devices, my mind will already be in Kansas city..
i'm coming home guys... ¶ 12/14/2003 09:23:00 PM
