Fresh Starts of Early Memories

Today the incoming freshmen moved into their perspective halls. This is my first year as a regular student after being a CA for three years. I feel normal again. I don't know if I've ever told Jim this (I'm sure I have) but he has truly made me feel like me again, something I haven't felt in many many years.

I looked around tonight and realized I was looking through a different kind of eyes. I thought about what I would be doing as a CA, the people I would meet, the fun I would have, and the aid I could give. I thought about all the memories I had made throughout the last three years and how much I had grown since my first time moving into the halls. I remember I was so excited to come to college until the first 20 or so minutes driving and then all I wanted to do was turn around and go home. Now I feel as though that home isn't so much my home at all anymore. It's strange how much things can change. Last Thursday, I spent some time with my parents. It was the best couple of hours I have spent with them since I told them I was getting married. They acted normal for a change and I didn't feel like I was never going to see them again after the wedding. It was nice to have my parents back and not be so much on guard.

I hope I can remember as many memories as possible, but only time will make the decision which memory to surface and which to hide away.
