That Feeling

I was guilty of rushing my exam yesterday so I could get out as fast as I could to leave Calgary and come home. It was a long drive, but I made it.

When I drove passed the "Welcome to Edmonton" sign, and began to get closer to South Common, this tremendous wave of peace and joy washed over me like I have never felt before. As many people who have been keeping tabs on my life lately, it has been rather stormy. So in a sense, even the smallest bits of true, genuine joy feels like I just won at life or something. After being enveloped by that joy for about a minute, I caught myself with the biggest smile on my face.

I'm not sure if it was just a matter of finishing a semester and being able to go home for a few weeks or something else, but there was such a sense of freedom - like I was released from some disease that was intoxicating my being.

But yeah, anyways, I'm so glad that I'm home. I don't want to make it sound that way, but sometimes school can feel like a prison, especially when you spend literally your entire day there. This reminds me. I'm going to watch Shawshank Redemption again over this break so I can relate to it more. Haha.

This break, I'm going to keep myself as busy as I can; so if anyone ever wants to just hang out or do something, call me up! I am up for almost anything.

Also, I need a new phone.
