life (and for the rest of the summer) when I got that random jolt in your stomach that something was missing. I realized that I really miss Cal Lutheran. Not necessarily going to class or living there, but I definitely miss working at the pool there. I have no idea why. It's not like it's a glamorous job, or even any different than what I am doing right now. It was just really weird. I started thinking about all the great (or not so great) times that I had there...I guess I just really enjoyed lifeguarding with people who were close to my age who all had the same kinds of concerns that I had too. Here I am one of, oh, NO other college kids working at the pool. They are all still in high school (or just graduated) or all out of college and working full time at the pool... It's rather strange. I guess it all might have something to do with the fact that all I do is work, go home, go back to work, and then come home again. I have no life outside of that... and that makes me sad. Most of my friends have moved away (all the way to ABQ...) but I still don't really get to see them much... especially now with gas prices so high :(
I don't think I really realized it when I was in DC because I was with people that I could relate to very easily. We were all (pretty much) the same age and we were all doing the same thing at the time with our lives. And even though I never really went out after work, I still got to socialize with people my own age. And now I can't go out and make new friends because, well, let's face it... I am leaving in 7 weeks and I am at the wrong age to be able to find new friends in Los Alamos.
Thisis kind of a depressing post... so for some cooler news... I applied for my visa last week & should hopefully be getting it by the end of this month (if not, we might have some problems...). Oh. And I found the facebook group for my study abroad peoples! So now I can start to make friends over facebook! woot!
:)
