12/15/09- So it’s my birthday today. I turned 16! For whatever reason I expected to feel very different though. I woke up in the same bed, went to the same school and came home to the same house that I always do. I realize that only one day passed, but I expect to feel like an entire year passes overnight when I turn 16. I expected to feel a world of responsibility and sudden understanding of what I want to do with my life. But, no. Just another regular day. I couldn’t even get my license since the Bureau hasn’t sent me my papers yet. So it’s really a pretty insignificant day in my life. I guess this just shows that having overzealous expectations just makes your day so much less exciting.
12/18/09- My friends from college, Annick and Billy, arrived home today (Whit comes home on Wednesday.) It’s very strange to me that they can be gone for long periods of time and still come back and still be great friends. You have friends and as your tastes change their tastes change at the same rate, so when you are different they are also different. They’re very similar to the Harry Potter movies. They are totally different now, but they have grown stylistically with my age group and each rendition is like I am at the moment. However, its still has the same origin, much like my friends and I still have the basic origin of our friendships. I’m happy that my friends can go to college and have totally new and exciting lives, but still retain our old friendships and teach me what they learned and what they experience, furthering my knowledge of the world.
