Remember back in the day when you and your parents joked around
about doing something to your "old room" after you moved out? Well
that is exactly what I came back to when I came home for Thanksgiving break. I
am not mad or anything, but it is just strange sleeping in my older sister's
old room because my room turned into a room for my mom to do bead jewelry
in.
Anyways, I am home
from Ohio Northern University for our Thanksgiving break for a full week. It is
nice having technical down time, but there is never actual down time for me to
enjoy. I do catch up on some well needed hours of sleep. On the other side, my
daily schedule when I am home is much more filled than what it is when I am at
school. I still have just as much homework as I did when I was at school. The
only difference now is that I have even less motivation to do it because my
body just wants to relax while I am home.
On the lighter
side of it all, we have a new house guest. Well, kind of. Our neighbor's
outside cat, Salem, has taken up spending his free time and bedtime in our
sunroom. The room has a dog door so that if the weather is bad or whatever, our
animals can relax in the room before we can let them inside. So, it is in this
nice, comfortable room that Salem now rides out the finer things in his life.
He will occasionally stand and meow at our sliding doors until we go outside
and pet him. He is just living the roughest of life’s, right?
To wrap it all up,
we are having a gathering of all my best friends for our fourth annual "Bros-Giving."
Over the years, we have all faded away from each other, which is to be
expected. Originally, I was the only one that when to a different college because
they all either remanded in our hometown or went to Central Michigan University.
As the years gone on, some have dropped out or transferred and the ability to
get us all together for one night is becoming relatively impossible. I am sure
Bros-giving will be the topic of my next blog, so be ready for all the stupid
boy stories and hypermasculinity in that post.
Until Next Time,
Matt
