Being home is pretty weird, I’m not going to lie. Friday I took a train home, it was a nice ride, I enjoyed it and I will not mind doing it again. I watched The Day After Tomorrow on my iPod, so that took up the majority of the train ride. Unfortunately from Penn Station (NYC) to Metro Park (NJ) I had to sit next to some weird dude in a huge orange jacket that looked eerily similar to Cillian Murphy only creepier. I went to Mike D’s after I got home and hung out there for a little while before going to the football game. It was nice to see people again, and even better to see Amanda. When she was on the track cheering I went over to say hi. She jumped up on the fence to hug me, it was cute, and I missed her. New Egypt lost the game, which I’m not going to lie, I saw it coming. The floats were pretty good, well the seniors did a good job at least, and Desirea won Homecoming Queen. And I met her new man, didn’t really talk to him, but he has a firm handshake so that’s points. After the game was the dance. Let me tell you, I don’t fit in here anymore. I don’t mean it in a bad way, but I just do not fit in. I hung out with Austin for a few while driving around to find that the Garden State was closed. Hanging out with him was pretty much no different. We picked up where we left off, things are the same. Seeing Amanda Friday and today was great too, it is like I never was away. But, pretty much everyone else is different to see and hangout with. I haven’t been around for the first month plus of school and things are different. Largely, everyone I talked to it was wicked superficial. I swear everyone I saw who is in college the conversation was, “Hey dude, how’s school?” “Good what about for you?” “Pretty good.” “Awesome.” For everyone in high school it was “Hey how’s college been?” “It’s been really good, how about around here?” “Good.” I just haven’t had much to talk about with the people who I haven’t seen or talked to since I left. Today I went Apple Picking with Amanda. I’d say it’s a new tradition. It was a great time. I remembered everything I love about being home and about New Jersey and living in New Egypt. The air was cool but the sun was warm, the perfect day. The leaves on the trees are turning it’s one of my favorite things. Ever. Fall is definitely my favorite season. I always thing it would be summer, but that is just because there is no school. Anyways we went on a hayride to the apple orchard. There were mothers and fathers out with their young children to pick pumpkins and to do everything else there was to do at the farm. The apples were a little bit ‘slim-pickins’ but we both found a decent amount. We paid for our apples and got some sweet potato and apple chips, they were both pretty good. Once we brought everything back to the car we went in the Corn Maze. It was pretty fun actually, we thought we were way cool and too smart for it at first, joking about the obvious dead ends. Turns out, the maze owned us and we made a lot of wrong turns, but it was tons of fun. We went on the slides they had and drank warm apple cider. It was an awesome day. I think I’d re-live the five hours we spent together today about another million times before I got sick of it. Being home is weird too. I haven’t seen my parents in a while so it has been good to see them again. I love them, I feel like being around them all the time I was taking everything they do for me for granted. I came home and my mom was washing my sheets for me and when I was going to sleep my bed was made for me. My mom cooked a roast tonight for dinner, it was really good. We had cake and I opened presents for my birthday, which is next Friday. Damn I’m going to be 19. I’m really looking forward to getting back to school, although I’ll be missing certain curly-haired girls. But I just have to stick it out ‘till Thanksgiving and then I’ll be back for a few more days. I don’t know what I’m doing tonight, but whatever it is I’ll be happy with. |
