farewell long island

my fellow islanders... i bid thee a very fond farewell, for i must be going now.

back to college, that is. i am so mixed..on the one hand, i have my boyfriend here at home whom i love so much its crazy. he's a wonderful guy and treats me so well and hangs out with my family and everything. not seeing him for weeks on end really REALLY blows and the few times a year i get to come home i like to make the most out of it. it seems like these 5 weeks really just flew by!! its so not fair. and what kills me is most people get to see their significant others everyday and have awful relationships, full of cheating and lying and fighting. its ironic that i found my soulmate and only get to see him for thanksgiving, xmas, and spring break (summers too thank god!)  and the occasional weekend he visits, if he can get off from work and school and if i dont have a million projects to do that weekend and if we can find someone willing to get him from buffalo and bring him to campus.. a million what ifs. it sucks. he left just a half hour ago and i miss him like crazy already. thank god we have skype and unlimited texting, otherwise id go crazy. but at least i can hear his voice and see his face when im almost 9 hours away.

i'll also miss my insanely comfy bed...my own room...my library...my cats (ha..sorta) and good home cooked food. plus the DVR its so nice to have it here. i'll miss long island bagels and long island pizza and long island coffee, long island fast food late night runs, long island adventures with my long island friends..long island weather (but not this winter, it was colder here than upstate i think). i'll basically miss long island. even the traffic, even the rude drivers and even having to do more laundry, dishes, and cleaning of the room than i ever have to do at school.

i'm glad to see my friends again, and my suitemates and roommate, they're great girls. and the swim team of course  :)   i'll be happy to not get yelled at for staying up late to watch the teen mom 2 reruns at 2am, and being able to basically get free starbucks and magazines, courtesy of my FredCard and all points meal plan! yayyy for mochas and breakfast sandwiches 24/7 again.

but again, i'll miss being woken up to a cup of tea all ready brewed for me by my dad, and the daily papers left by my chair (dad reads them hours before i emerge from my slumber haha). i'll miss having the house to myself from 1pm when dad lays down for his nap til 3 and 4 when kevin and my mom come home from school. thats my "me time" and its a blessing to have it. i'll miss my mom cracking up at my brother's imitations of his teachers, etc. and her treating me to getting my nails done as a reward for doing her a huge favor this past year haha. i'll even miss kevin, for as annoying as he can be, he's hilarious and we always have a ton of new funny youtube vids to show each other whenever im home for a break. btw, check out my bf's channel on youtube, under "diglio"  and for some food-related laughs, search "epic mealtime"...so funny!

honestly..this semester will be good. i'm taking great classes, applying for the internship!!! YAY!! (details later this week) and turning 21!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yea! but who's gonna take care of the cats for me? no one inmy house likes poor pippin because she likes to cuddle too much, and tink kinda smells and im the only one who lets her sit on my lap.. those poor kitties. i hope they dont miss me too much. and harry even started to like me for the first time ever..now all the progress we made is shot to shit, as they say. he wont remember me when im back in march and he'll hate me again as usal lol.

i really am gonna miss my parents brother friends and mike more than any of the other good stuff long island has to offer. its the people you surround yourself with that makes life fun and awesome. i cant wait til its spring break and im home for a week in march!!!

ok time for bed, i have a long ass train ride ahead of me tomorrow!!
until next post =)
