beddy bye, and goodnight

Ok so for day 19, I have my choice of my favorite place, or something I miss. For me, it's easy to combine them. I miss my favorite place, which is

MY BED!

I used to have the best. bed. ever. I don't think I have any pictures of my bed at home in my parent's house in Bryn Mawr, but if I can find one, I'm sure I'll obsess over it. It was my sanctuary, and the most comfortable thing I've ever had contact with. Hm, actually now that I think about it, being close to Ben beats my old bed in comfort levels. But oh well, I'm still focusing on that bed. It was a simple Ikea mattress & bed frame, and it was low to the ground, and I had the most luxurious sheets and comforter. Haha, you could say I'm pretty emotionally attached to it.

Haha, just kidding. I still have 11 days left!

precious solidarity

I am alone and am realizing that this sensation doesn't come around too often anymore. I'll admit that I love the college experience of constantly having friends at your side throughout your days, but being alone for once is nice. Back home, being alone was so necessary - because my days seemed to get out of control for some reason or another, and there was nothing I could do but cool off in my room. Here, though, I have plenty of control over my days, and I really love being able to do so much in the day and come home feeling contented and accomplished. I am so happy - so blessed - for all the friendship, love, and support I've found here. It's easy to get sentimental when I'm alone... oh! but my roommates are back now. So much for solidarity :) until next time!
