“ ... proud though I may be of my profession, it never occurred to me that it was meant to be a working majority, ... That more than half of young men in TV would want to cover sports has the same ring to it as if we learned more than half the males in medical school wanted to concentrate on cosmetic surgery.” -Frank Deford

Back in Beverly

Here I am, six days after I come back to America from Trinidad and Tobago and I am still in vacation mode. This week was not too bad, even though I had a hard time getting back to the swing of things at school. It is becoming more of a struggle to start doing homework again since I did not have to do homework during spring break. It is hard to because I only have class three days a week, so I would rather do other things than doing homework. Since I am home for the weekend, maybe I can have better concentration of doing my homework now.
It's so hard to believe that I am graduating in two months. It is amazing how fast three and a half years goes by. You tend to forget where the time has gone. Recently, I have felt like I am losing my confidence again. One of the factors is because I have been overwhelmed with the job world approaching me. I try to keep telling myself that since about 10 percent of the country is unemployed to not worry about it. I worry because I am a competitive person. I hate to lose and I will do anything to win. I have also been cranky and grumpy recently because of the job stuff. There are two things that can cure my recent behavior, graduate from college and get a job. I feel bad because I am taking it out on people that don't deserve to be treated like that. Although, younger people do tick me off sometimes, but I have to remember one thing, I was one of those younger people one time. I am still young, but since I have been traveling much more, I feel older and much more well-rounded. As I always say, let the younger people fall in their faces and they will move on, just like you.
This is the first time this semester that I am home. Two months has easily been the longest time that I have not been home when I live in the United States, the longest was three and a half months when I was in London for study abroad. Pete picked me up yesterday and we had a good talk about how things are going between the both of us. When I got home, mom cooked a nice spaghetti with meat sauce dinner. It was nice to finally have a home cooked meal. Pete and I also went to the movies to see "She's out of your League" last night. It was a funny movie and I recommend it to anyway if they want a good slap-stick comedy. I am going to sit around and do some homework today and then hang around with the family until tonight when I go to Boston with my friends. I am really excited about going to Boston again. It has been quite a while since I have gone. I think going home will be the best thing for me this semester. I need to breathe in the horrible Massachusetts air, I need to see my friends and I need to see my family. I just need to get back to my roots at home. Maybe this will be the recipe of my cure, go home, have fun and let loose a bit, and of course do homework. Man did I need to get out of New Hampshire and go home.
