patiently waiting...

The stories. They have started. You could say...that I am a friend who has an open ear. I love listening to other people. I love listening to people who are willing to share. I guess you could say that this is why I take a part of someone with me everywhere. I listen. I learn and adapt what I like to my life.
I knew that it was only time before hearing about everyone's college life. This makes me excited, nervous, scared, impatient and so many more.
Excited- New experience. New beginning. This is my chance to be...someone new. Someone with out a 'past'...in a way. Yes I'll have my past life...but that doesn't follow me to college. Yes, I am excited for this new and life changing experience.
Nervous- Like I said...I've heard the stories. Some stories consist of freaky roommates...which leads to a shaky attitude with me. I don't know my roommates. And I won't know my roommates until I move in. Most people are going in to their new college experience with some bit of knowledge as to what their new life and friends will consist of. But not me. Nervous...yeah new classes...new expectations...I'm nervous. I hope I can obtain all that is awaiting me...it is a lot to take in.
Scared- I've never been away from this home. Call me a baby...or a wimp...but I love my home life. I love my family. I have complaints about minor details. But for the most part I'm satisfied. I've left for vacations, for camps and others...but never for more than a month with out my Mommy. I'm going to miss my parents. I'm not prepared to leave them quite yet...you could say that things were just getting easy...
Impatient- Stores have been shared. I listened. I listened patiently. When is it my turn to be the one sharing the stories of what my roommates are like? When is it my turn to go experiences this college life that everyone raves about. The experience that when talked about the popular response is..."Oh those were the days. ..". So when is it MY turn?

So there it is. The stories have started. My ears are listening. My brain is taking notes. The rest of me...is patiently waiting...
