Home for the Holiday's...

Ok, so not really the Holiday's - it's home for SUMMER :o) That, in and of itself, is better than a Holiday!!! I had sooooooooooo much stuff to move home from school. Seriously, I had no clue how much stuff I really had there. I made 2 trips, one was just for clothes and shoes, and the 2nd trip was all of the odds and ends stuff: bedding, desk stuff, and everything else. I took some pictures of my 1st load all packed up, and have taken some pictures of all of the stuff piled in my living room at home - and will post those soon (I have to find the cord in one of my bags!), it's a ridiculous amount of stuff. I'm really not looking forward to unpacking all of it.

So being home, I'm not sure how different life is going to be. My parents are pretty lenient, as long as they know where I'm going. I know they don't do this because they're trying to be over protective - they do it because if something were to ever happen, they would know where to start looking. I feel that our generation really has a lack of respect for the parental unit. I know we might not always agree with our parents, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't respect them. Maybe I've just been lucky in gaining a lot of trust from my parents, but I have to say - I feel that I can be very open with them. Why hide it? It'll only get you in trouble in the long run! I guess the point I'm trying to get across is this - if your parents ask where you're going, it probably isn't so they can check in on you, etc. it's so they have a comfort in knowing what to do if something ever happened and they couldn't get a hold of you. I guess I'm a pessimist and think of the worst - but I mean, it's better to be prepared - right? I just always fear something happening and no one knowing where to start the process. So, understand where your parents are coming from in asking. I guess if you feel they're too overbearing and trying to control you, the only way they'll ever know that is if you talk to them! Keep open communication, it's a good problem solver, and an even better problem preventor.

I think that's all I've got for now...pretty sporadic - but I guess that's what blogging is all about.

HELLO SUMMERTIME!!!
