Spring Break '09, Good Times

About a month ago, I was sitting on my couch in Columbus, working on scholarships, when I asked myself "Why am I still here?" I took care of what I needed to and figured I should head West for a bit. I was writing a personal statement essay (which I misunderstood to be 4000 words instead of characters.....lame) when I thought of this question.
I was writing about my family and realized that I missed home so I decided to buy a ticket to San Diego until Spring quarter starts. As I prepare to head back to the Midwest to resume my education, I am experiencing the usual bittersweet feeling I always get whenever I leave home. I'm happy that I will finally get back into school and be productive with my life. Yet, being home only reminded me of what I leave behind whenever I go away, like watching sports on the weekends with my pops, spending time with my madre, hanging with my brother, and chilling with friends. I was also fortunate enough to see my sister again for a short period of time. But now, I am on my way back to Ohio.

There is nothing I enjoy more than living my life as a student out in Ohio. I love my school and the whole ambiance that comes with being a student there. But at the end of the day, it is not home. However, I have grown to appreciate everything about home (family, friends, food, the california sunshine and air) since I made the decision to leave almost two years ago.

So as I get ready to go back to school, I am looking forward to getting back to work and aiming toward straight As. Along with that, I can't wait to make it back to California.

P.S. This is my first blog I've written in some time now. I felt it would be unethical to write in "Couch Aventuras" when I wasn't on a couch. Since my sister is in town, she took my room and I am currently on a couch in the living room, so now I feel right writing this. I keeps it real, son.
