Good Day and Goodbye

Today was a good day. I slept in and even though I don't exactly like sleeping in it was fine because I felt refreshed. I made myself and my dad some breakfast and it was pretty good. I read some more out of The Casual Vacancy and was pleased with myself.

I played Temple Run with my sister trying to beat each other's high scores (she won). And eventually I took a shower and got ready.

Got ready for what you may ask? I went out to coffee and dinner with one of my best friends. We hadn't seen each other since the beginning of winter break and although we talk like every day we still had a lot to talk about. And we did.

We spent like two hours talking and hanging out. We talked about what's right and wrong with our lives and it was nice. I love that we literally never seem to run out of things to talk about.

We had some laughs, and we had some venting done. And we talked about our future and our future plans and our fears. It was kind of conversation that you appreciate because it's things that you need to get out in the open.

One minute our talks were deep the next we were laughing about the dumbest thing possible.

And at the end when I got home what did I find in the mail? My financial aid check. I have enough for my textbooks and more. So that makes me a very happy camper.

I got a call from one of my friends and we talked for a while and then hung up, it was nice.

And then I got another call from the friend I had just gone to dinner with and there went two hours that were spent talking about even more things. I'm always amazed by how we can literally talk for hours about everything and anything. And she is on the list I have of like ten people that I never get tired of talking to.

So after all this I did something big and drastic and life changing.

One of my good friends recently told me of a website where I can download music. And in order for me to do this I had to delete my music from my iPod that hadn't transferred over to my laptop from my desktop. And I thought long and hard about this and for a second I panicked. The music on my iPod is what got me through high school. I'd be lost and gone without it.

And yet...as my blog is titled "the start of something new", I wanted a change. So I had a little over 800 hundred songs. Now I have like 269. This hurt saying goodbye to a huge part of my past. But I managed and am still in the process of just getting back the songs that really meant a lot to me. And now I have even more room to grow. My music taste changes a bit and I can add many new songs, songs that fit who I am now. And who I will be in the future.

So today was a good day and one where I finally put to rest some of my past, some of the old me. And this may not seem like a big deal, but to me it is. I'm ready to embrace change and something new.

Things are happening, and things are changing. And I hope when I'm through with it all I'll be someone different. But good different and at the end of the day I will still have the core that is me.
