Well, I'm back home. I haven't lived here for over a year and, oddly enough, I really haven't had much desire to do so for quiet some time. I idealize the rural life style, I love it dearly; but its not yet time for me to slip back into it myself. Hell, as my Mother pointed out the other night "there wasn't anything for me to do here when I was your age either, I don't think its changed much".
Add to this that I am suddenly living in a small house with three other people where as up until Friday I had an apartment all to myself.....you get the general idea.
I honestly need to make some new friends and connections; something I'm sure that I will do once I begin student teaching in Wausau, or working at the Wal-Mart in Stevens Point. However, until that happens its going to be a bit boring and lonely in these parts.
Tomorrow I'm taking my cousin Tom out to Green Bay to look at the University there. He's going to be a Senior this year and doesn't have anyone in his family either willing or capable of taking him college shopping like my parents did for me. He's a good kid and I really want to see him prosper, so I've taken it upon myself to show him some colleges and get him away from his family.
Thats pretty much it to be honest. I'm just trying desperatly to get used to living at home again(and its become such a foreign place!). I don't really think that anyone reads this journal anymore, as only one person responded to my last one. Give me a shout out if you are reading it though; I like to think that I'm not talking to thin air

Thanks for the well wishes, I'm hoping things get better around here too.
