So sorry I havent written in a while and let me tell you things came up.
I had previously said I was accepted to the University of Texas at Austin and this whole weekend we have been finding an apartment which I already signed the leasing contract and been driving to San Antonio. I packed whatever I had wanted to bring but now I miss home. Sure you can say Im excited to live independently and whatnot, but Im scared, nervous and anxious.
I had a going away party with my closest friends and that was the best. I teared up with some of my closest friends and they did the same. It was hard for me leaving and I still think of them.
Yesterday I had orientation at the university and it went ok and the campus is HUGE compared to the university back at home. I actually got lost and the worst part was that it was cold outside and I was freezing. Anyways, today I went back to school and fixed some things up.
Today, my mom left back to my hometown.... I cried before she got on the plane. We both cried. I have always been close to my family. That is one reason as to why I didnt take off after high school. I am attached to my family. Before she go on the plane and I hugged her one last time I just broke out. She told me she loved me and I was going to respong but I couldnt speak out the words while crying. I did tell her, but second time didnt come out. She wiped away my tears as she looked at me and then we said our goodbyes. Im going to miss her so much already. Now Im with my dad and he cheered me up after we dropped her off.
I knew this was going to happen and Im happy it did. I dont feel ashamed of crying and saying I love my parents. I am not embarassed to be around them in public like some teenagers are. I dont know how they can do that to their parents.
*sigh* well I start school the 18th and I move in the 15th which my dad will help me with. Im just nervous about meeting my roommate. I hope hes a cool guy rather than a jerk. Most of all I hope hes gay friendly.
Well just a heads up of what I have been up to,
Lates,
John
It's good to be close to your folks. And it's particularly good if you can remain close friends with them as things go on.
ReplyDeleteTheir continuing support can be a great thing.
It is good to be close to your parents. So far we have been close and I think it will remain this way for the years to come.
ReplyDeleteI just hope their support will be there when I come out....
