Is it August yet?
I’m physically sick. I can’t breathe through my nose…and there’s so much gunk in my throat I feel like I can’t talk. I’m sure you wanted to know that. But honestly, I think that’s the least of my problems right now.
I miss Dri. I don’t know how else to put that. I miss her very badly.
In addition…I’m JBU-sick. I only have two real friends that don’t go to JBU. And between me working so much and the stuff they’ve got going on, I never get to see them. So while most people are spending there summer’s hanging out with a bunch of different people, going to movies, doin’ fun activites, or whatever…I work all day and then sit in my house doing nothing for two hours and then go to bed. I have “hung out” with people on only one occaision so far this summer, and that was just sitting on the couch over at Andrew’s for a few hours. I live five minutes away from Andrew!! I’ve seen him TWICE since we got out of school! And one of those was to take a clep test! I’ve seen my best friend only once so far…not until this last Sunday. And that just me making an appearence at his graduation party – not really much quality time there. I’ve seen Abe twice. But one of those was just passing him in the church parking lot.
At JBU I was around people all the time, and I loved it. I’ve become quite an extroverted person over the last few years…and not getting to do stuff with anyone is kinda depressing. Last night was tough. Amandria was going to see a movie with her friends…I had nothing to do…and I just kinda got overcome by this loneliness feeling…
I miss all of my JBU friends a ton. I miss living with Andrew. I miss making up crazy acronyms with Chase. I miss yelling back and forth with Peter over sports stuff. I miss Ollie coming into my room and saying “Poop”. I miss Dan randomly coming into our suite. I miss talking about music w/ Josh. I miss being able to have great conversations with Ames on the way back from Quant. Lit. I miss talking to Kalynn about her mom, and her “luvvie”. I miss my telepathic bond with Blake. I miss broadcasting classes w/ J.D. I miss eating lunch with Lisa and Janelle. I miss Jessica’s random craziness. I miss talking to Katelin after Spanish class. I miss laughing at Mandy while she tries to hit on guys. I miss everything about Dria.
Right there I just mentioned sixteen people. And I’m sure there’s more people that I didn’t remember to put on here (I’m sorry). But having that many friendships ripped away for three months is tough…especially when you only have a couple friendships to replace them with.
I’m rambling…so I’m going to stop now. The point is…I miss you all. A bunch.
I miss you babe… and I miss JBU… and JBU misses you. I’ll be praying for you about this, because God will provide for ALL your needs, even your need for friends.
I miss you laughing at me while I hit on guys too (What do you mean TRY TO? I am the king of the otters, my plans always succeed.). Plus, it’s just not any fun to screech without Chase following it up with “C’MERE!”
