Distracted??? Never....
I am easily distracted.
This can sometimes be good, and sometimes be bad.
Many times I allow myself to be distracted, and other times I am completely unaware. For example, I could currently be working on a paper that's due on Monday. But there a times when I just feel the need to blog. I am in the right mood. So I am taking advantage of my opportunity to be distracted.
The past few days have been very homesick ones. Even though I am returning home soon, (in approximately 20 days, 5 hours, and 23 minutes) I am wondering whether I can make it that much longer. Three months away from home is difficult sometimes.
I have realized how much I miss random adventures with close friends.
I have realized how much I miss crazy times with my siblings.
But since arriving at college, I have met some truly amazing people. I have made many acquaintances and several close friends. They are good at distracting me from my loneliness. (and also my homework, but we don't need to address that right now) Especially that handful of girls on my floor - you know who you are. :) I am so grateful for the kindness and love you guys have shown me, and for the memories I know we will continue to make.
So while I may be counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until I arrive back home, I'm sure that every one of those seconds will be spent to the fullest. Because Jesus has blessed me with many distractions. :)
