It's the most wonderful time of the year

well, some would say so...

I head back to school Friday. No, our school isn't starting monday; I simply have JOB TRAINING! woo! We have to be enthusiastic about it--it's in our contract. The staff at school has nearly every hour for the next three weeks of my life scheduled out to properly train me to be a resident advisor. That's right, for one whole year I will be responsible for the safety and well being of some 63 students all going through the same struggles, tribulations, and confusing path-choices that I am, I will be largely responsible for helping them--guiding them through these decisions this year. God help us all.

Still, I am very excited to be getting back to LA (never thought I'd say that in my life..), this has been a trying and confusing summer and at this point I think the only thing that will help bring clarity is being able to get out of everything--lift my head above the smog as it were. I miss my friends in LA, hell I miss hanging out with people my own age. I think it's funny just how far apart people can be in thinking even if they're the same age or just a couple years apart. I suppose it's just part of growing up, everyone goes down different paths to get there.

My books and DVD's are packed, my new kitchen stuff is organized and sorted. Friday I'm LA or bust.
