I think I'm depressed
So today I'm sitting here doing some thinking and realize it was NINE years ago this week I was moving into Collins Dormitory at Baylor.
I'm not kidding, I almost cried at the thought. Granted it's not all nostalgic - I'm overworked, underpaid and stressed beyond capacity right now - but I was wondering if I'd cry right here at my desk.
How could it been nine years ago? My dad and I were in line at 7 a.m. waiting to haul my stuff inside my little shoebox of a room. (The above floorplan was indeed the layout of my room - except somehow it was smaller becasue I know I couldn't open my closet all the way thanks to the bed by the windows.) We were the smart ones with the dolly and everyone wanted to borrow my dad.
I never thought of it as being almost a decade ago, but it was.
It makes me miss college - living in the dorm, crazy random excursions, my sorority, eating bad cafeteria food, meeting friends for said bad cafeteria food, the football games in 100+ degree heat, the chill you get when the band plays the school song in autumn's crisp air, sitting in the library studying into the night, riding my bike around campus, Common Grounds, Lady Bears basketball, and SO much more.
It makes me want to pack up everything and go beg someone to let me move back onto campus and do it all again. I miss Baylor. I miss college. I miss less responsibility.

It's crazy how fast time flies! We'll all be having our 10 year high school reunions next year! Yikes. And we've been friends for almost 15 years!! Wow! I guess we're all offically starting to get old.
Don't forget to add meeting your husband and doing all kinds of crazy stuff with him to your list of fun stuff.
Girley I did look back and said just the other day to someone" You don't knoe what fun is until you have to put a CV joint in your daughters car on the Baylor parking lot @ 2 AM in the morning" And the guy at the auto supply store said "It can't be done in a parking lot" But the things we do for our kids, And I agree with Benjamin Adding your husband was a big part of your Baylor life and time.
Love Dad
I wish I was in college again with less responsibility right now too!! I wouldn't trade Thomas for the world, but less responsibility would be really nice (and relaxing!).
