As the title of this particular post states, I do not want to go home. Lol.
Melissa came to get me on Tuesday night. She had a conference to attend for most of the week at EC. I've seriously been wanting to get out of the house for a few days, so she offered to let me stay with her at EC. So, needless to say, I went. She had REQUESTED to have my old dorm room (225 in Jackson Hall) for us to stay in, so that was pretty special.
It felt...so good...to be back at EC. It felt like I was back where I belonged (outside of ATL) if only for a short time. I got to sit in front of my computer almost the entire night and reminisce about the days when I used to stay there until day break. It was fun... and special. It was like God had set aside this time specifically for me to sit in my old room (which I had missed greatly, believe it or not), yet this time, I was over it. I was over wanting to be at EC so badly I would do whatever it took to stay. Granted I wanted to be there...and in some ways, I still wouldn't mind being there...but it was nice to be there without all the stress...
Drew came up on Wednesday and spent most of the afternoon and evening with me. He had called me a couple days before asking which series of Fushigi Yugi I was reading...saying he wanted to read it. Well, he had "lied"... He went and bought me the next book in the series, but he had already gotten one book from the Genbu Kaiden series (the next part) So he gave me two books and a CD with the pictures from Italy on it. We had a picnic at Victoria Bryant and went swimming. He tried to teach me a little more about swimming...but unfortunately, I don't think a whole lot of it sank in, due to there being such a crowd at the pool, although it meant a lot that he tried and really wanted to show me. He also taught me how to make his favorite kind of sandwich... Can I just say that I think he has gotten me hooked? So much so that I'm going to ask my dad to go out and buy me some ham, some turkey, some cheese and a big pack of pepperoni. We watched Young Frankenstein together, and that was a lot of fun...I refused to watch it all the way to the end alone... When Drew left, I wished I was going with him or just keep him here a few more days, but he needed to go on. I was sad to see him go, but I'm looking forward to the next time I get to see him.
Well, it is now the end of my short vacation to EC, lol. And I am a bit apprehensive about going back home... I don't know what's gone on involving my debt situation since I left a few days ago. For all I know, I've got mail at home...but I certainly hope not... I guess I just want to get back to the city...
Melissa and I walked down to the Pavilion this afternoon and just sat there for a few minutes. While I was there, I couldn't help but think how peaceful it is... Sometimes, we just need to get away from the world and not talk about anything with anyone. Because...it's like when you have that special place, like the Pavilion in your heart, you can always go back there in your mind, and it's like everything just makes sense somehow. No matter how confusing, no matter how stressful... it just does.
I can't wait to go back to it some day...
