Today

I really feel like talking about today. It was so wonderful, and I cannot explain why. It may have something to do with the weather-it was warm and I could finally wear a spring jacket and feel comfortable, and pop my sunroof open while driving. But it was more than that- just one of those days that make you feel peaceful and happy with everything in your life, and I have not had one of those days in a long time. I am so happy I had one again! I needed this.

The remaining kiddos left this morning, and we were able to lock the doors at 8:15am-amazing in itself. I am currently the only one in my entire building right now-the other directors have taken vacation days. After I let my RA staff go, I went back to sleep until 1 or so. I probably would have slept longer, but I received a phone call on my apt phone about a student. I then cleaned up and went to Starbucks and spent the afternoon with my March issue of Vogue-a happy outlet always. I went for a bit of a drive after that-and found myself at one of Muncie's many parks. This particular park is not one of the prettiest, but one that I find peace in and has sentimental value for me, for reasons I keep close to my heart. I sat for awhile, and thought about my time here since August of 2007. How much I have learned, all my experiences, the people I have met, how I have changed. It was in this self-reflection I finally felt a sense of home here in Indiana.

Campus is quiet. My car is the only one in the parking lot, and will remain so for the rest of the week. I don't know what the rest of the day brings...but I am looking forward to it.
