It was today - like any other day - that I finally made up my mind. I will go back to school by this summer. My best friend has gone back to school - and she's loving it.
She said directly "I feel like I'm finally not just standing on the side of my life, this time I'm actually moving forward."
To which I hugged her and said with all sincerity "I want you to know that I am literally jealous of you."
She nodded not seeming to find this an odd thing to say to a friend, instead she replied "When you were going to go back to school I was jealous of you. So I understand."
I like that about the friends I have made, there are very few hang-ups about honesty, we don't sit around and gossip like high school girls (which is sincerely not something I did a lot of in high school either), these people make me laugh until I cry.
When my close friend William begins on a tirade that people think is hilarious he doesn't stop, instead he continues with it until it gets old and people start developing ADD or he has lost his momentum.
On this one particular day we were all lying around in his tiny room. There were probably 5 of us packed into this small space. He began making up this story about how his first name was "F*king William" and how people would call for him by this name. I was laughing so hard my body hurt. I kept begging him to stop but he wouldn't, so I began crawling towards the door, collapsing intermittently from laughter. When I reached the door I extended my arms and fingers to their fullest length and turned the handle with weak arms - I burst through the door and heaved myself into deep relief. This is the kind of friendship that makes me soar!
Anyways - tangents aside - I will go back to school. I have a couple of cities in mind, and one online school. We'll see - cross your fingers boss! I'm going to get started on my applications next week!
