No Place Like Home

I am in the MOST amazing mood. I think it's the fact that this weekend was really nice and laid back and the fact that the ride home was quite enjoyable/productive. First, I studied Econ for like an hour because I have a huge exam tomorrow and that was pretty much necessary. Then I slept for thirty minutes or so, which I consider productive because I'm, um, in college. Finally I listened to music that makes me SOOO happy. I'm not sure what it is about this certain genre that just feels like home and feels freeing, but it pretty much consists of the entire Elizabethtown soundtrack (all three of them) and the newest addition, "Wagon Wheel" (both the original by Old Crow Medicine Show and the cover by Against Me!, they are both great in their own ways). I can't describe the feeling I get when I listen to this stuff but it honestly feels like home and I can think without worrying and it's just wonderful.

In the midst of this musically-inspired thinking, I realized that I want to live in a smallish town when I grow up, as long as I can travel. I want to live at the beach, preferably Beaufort or somewhere equally small and quiet, in a house with a wraparound porch on which I can play guitar with my husband (assuming I eventually find one of those) and feel the ocean breeze. That's my new dream.

Also, I realized that I survived winter. It's always the most difficult time of the year for me and I did it :] All that lies ahead of me is beautiful spring and summer.
