When Summer Leaves

I'll start by saying where I am and tell how I got here later. I'm going to eastern wash univ. right now, I live in Cheney, in a small lonely and cold apartment, I am finishing the last of core requirements classes and spend most of my time hanging out with my friends and girlfriend. I never would have thought I would have been here. This summer was rough with my parents. There was just a tension there all summer long and an irritation was definitely there for both me and them. I know they probably thought I wasn't being helpful around the house, got progressively annoyed with my late night returns, and my apparent affinity for the college life. No one wanted this rift, but it was natural and it happened partially because both parties didn't take the right steps to make my transition to being an adult go smoothly. I'm not going to go into depth about it but in general it was summer filled with argument after argument and long periods without seeing or talking to each other. All along I spent alot of time with my now girlfriend Jorden. We re-met at a club downtown after originally meeting at Sonic where we worked together during the summer of our sophomore years in high school. I always thought she was beautiful and easy enough to talk to, but beyond that I knew I had been filling in the gaps. I have another post to write about her but I''ll finish by saying that now I'm here at eastern and trying every day to become a better student than I have been in the past. It's not easy at all but each day I can say it gets a little easier.
