Some Place To Call Home

I obviously haven't been blogging much recently, but that is besides the point. Summer is almost over. I can hardly believe it. It seems like a few days ago I was standing outside of Sam Ho with my friends Rachel, Keller, and Natalie attempting to say goodbye. Who knew that in that instant it would make me bitter towards summer? Ever since I left Luther I have had this longing to head back. I feel like I now have two homes: College and 'my' house. Because of this I never feel like I can fully settle down.

Another note about homes. My best friend Jamie is leaving for Belgium in two weeks. Two very short weeks! It will be so strange for me. Every time I come home form college she is one the first people I come in contact with, sometimes even before my parents. It is just hard to imagine coming home and not seeing her. We have one of those relationships where even if we don't talk or see each other much, we still understand each other as if nothing has changed, and that's hard to come by.

So I guess the saying "home is where the heart is" is actually true.

Sleepless in . . . Brookings?

Howdy!

So I am currently laying in my bed listening to birds chirp with the sun slowly illuminating my room. Great! Over the past few nights I have been getting up around noon and heading to bed around three. Talk about a day well wasted. By being awake at this early hour I have realized something.

Sleep is overrated. Yes I know that sleep is vital, but why waste a day by sleeping in? I know I am going to fail at this, but watching the sunrise is just beautiful. It is an easy way to start your day refreshed. If I woke up at about six every morning I would have so much time to get ready in the morning and just relax and picture/think out my day.

With this whole revelation that sleep is overrated, like normal, I decided to plan out my future. This last semester I changed my major from Music Education to Music with a minor in Management. Wow big change I know! I really can’t decide if I want to teach, perform, or work for some sort of music company someday. I guess I would be happy with any of those choices, but I don’t know which one I would truly love. And I guess that means all of the people who are bored enough to read my blog get to follow me and find out what I choose to do.

Much love to all of you sleeping out there,

Adam
