Home Is Where I Hang My Heart

This weekend was great. Going home did me hella good. I got to see a lot of people I love and it was a wonderful point in my adjustment to college to go home and visit. I went to my high school's football game with my dad and best friend, Kait. We had a good time. After the game a bunch of us went to Kait's house and just chilled, like old times. It was so nice to hang out and not do much except catch up and goof around. The breast cancer walk with my mom on Saturday was a lot of fun. She ignored me like the whole time so I just walked with my girls Cori and Evelyn. It was a good three mile walk and I about died towards the end. Someone is outta shape. And then my mommy took my fatass to Bob Evans for breakfast afterwards. Icing on the cake if you ask me. It was a good bonding session, and for once she wasn't scolding me about my life, it was just talking about any old thing. I realized this weekend how much I love the people around me. You all know who you are, so I don't need to give names. I know that I can rely on you, and have honest conversations with you. We have fun and it comes easily for us. I'm thankful every day for these relationships.

Another realization I came to this weekend, was that I'm doubting my major. During the drive back to school, I was going through the course descriptions book because my advisor asked me to. I needed to highlight any classes that sounded interesting to me in the education, political science, history, psychology, and sociology departments. I highlighted the shit out of political science, and hardly at all in education. Oh fuck. This is a bit of an indicator that maybe I should change my major. Awesome. Now my mom can really shove this in my face. She was right and I was wrong. Once again. As much as I want to stick it to her and become a teacher, I also want to be happy. If something in political science is going to make me happier than education, so be it. I cannot be that person who hates their job. I refuse to let my life amount to that. Sounds like I have a lot of thinking to do and decisions to make. Great.
