dear blog,
well day 14 has come and gone and still no call from my marine. I miss him so much. I hate being without him. I consider myself a mentally and emotionally strong person and I hate the way I feel when he's not here in great part because, I feel weak and empty. I feel like a whole part of me has drifted away leaving me not feeling like myself. I'm a happy person, but the happiness I have with him is a kind that can't be manufactured nor explained. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day.

Today, I spent meandering around the house since I'm now on Christmas break from college. Being at home is boring and stressful and your parents want to treat you like you're a child and give you all this attitude about things you do that they don't approve of like spend your money like it's water or get secret tattoos. I mean don't get me wrong, these aren't things to do continually but I just don't want to come home from a really rough semester and feel like I'm not even wanted. Either way, I start work again tomorrow which is a relief. There's something going on a little fishy with my boss but I'll tell you if there's one thing I've learned, it's that employment is 80% political. Whatever. I'm also looking into moving next semester from my old dorm into a beautiful one with a nice kitchen. I guess it just depends on how I feel when it comes time to actually make the move which won't happen until two weeks into the spring semester.

It's late. I'm helping out with a children's christmas craft day thing my mom is putting on tomorrow at the library and I have to get up early so I will have to say good night.
