life’s not a paragraph

no, i don’t have a psychological disorder. i am talking about my life at home and my life at school. most people have these two lives that seem almost completely different. i remember talking to my friend meghan during christmas break last year about how we felt like we each had a secret “other” life.

we were both worried that maybe things wouldn’t be the same. we would mention people from school to each other and it was so funny when we realized we had no idea who we were talking about.

now i have three different lives. home, spain, and now, boston. luckily my spain life and my new boston life have merged a bit, but they still are very separate. tomorrow one of my good friends from my first semester abroad is coming down to boston to visit me and some of his other friends.

i am really excited to see him. we hung out this summer so i guess you could say he’s always been integrated into my home life. but i haven’t seen him since school started and since we met each other at school in spain, seeing each other in a different school setting might be a little strange.

sorry, this might sound a little weird to those of you who haven’t gone to school yet. it’s a feeling that’s hard to articulate.

i know that i am going to have a great time tomorrow. this whole summer has been awesome despite the year away. all that worry meghan and i discussed earlier was a waste because my friends and i were just the same as we were before we graduated.

but like i said, it’s just going to be a little weird for a minute or two.
