I have finally met my new home for the summer- Wadhams! (yes the sign even has the exclamation point) NY. It is as beautiful here as I imagined. It is hard to peel your eyes from the scenery. Berea, KY was my home for the past 21 months and I became home sick before I even left. I am hoping that the people here are comparable to the ones I have come to know in Berea that are truly what made it home to me.
I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed (understated)- so much to learn, so many people and places to get to know, so much room to grow. I am also feeling exhausted from the trip which began at about 5 a.m. yesterday morning. My parents and I flew into Albany, met up with my sister, Emily, and spent the day in Saratoga Springs. Then we ended up in a not-so-fancy-actually-kind-of-disgusting Motel 8 in Albany for the night and at about 8 a.m., we made our way up to Westport.
Phil, my boss, seems really great. My parents really know how to bring out my awkward side so I have spent the day worrying about what this guy is thinking. I really do not know how to communicate with my parents seeing as how we disagree about everything that is important to me. But I can always remember the good things they have introduced to me throughout my life.
My dad- Mind over matter.
My mom- There is no such thing as coincidence.
Collectively- Unconditional love.
Because of these things, I am beginning to find and see more meaning and purpose in everything and I can begin feeling more fulfilled.
