...Home?

So, I'm home for the summer. It's been a week and all that I have done is job hunting, play The Sims 3, and a little unpacking. My first weekend was interesting, I went to a club called Rich's for my best friend's co-worker's birthday party. We had a good time dancing and it was a nice way to ween me back into this lifestyle. But other than that, it has rained. Rained, rained, rained some more, rained alot more, and rained again. I guess it's God's way of letting me know what I was missing while in L.A. I was originally very glad to be coming home. I had a great time at my brother's new house in Sacramento. I had really nice time driving home with my mom starting with a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway stopping in Morro Bay and making a detour to Hearst Castle down to Huntington Beach, CA, then cutting across California through Barstow, then over to Las Vegas and the Hover Dam, stopping in Kingman, AZ before checking out the Grand Canyon, then a time on Route 66 into New Mexico. Then down to El Paso where we were greated with a dust storm-thunderstom hybrid and a nice hotel where we could see over to Mexico. Then an epic 700 mile, one day treck home to Pearland. But now that I'm back, I'm missing Hollywood. I miss all of my friends so much, my beloved "Fam", my MB classmates, and even some certain people that I told myself I would not and could not miss. I'm already beginning to count down the days until classes start. This makes me happy though, since I never had a typical high school experience, and I vowed that college would make up for that. Now, I am proud to say that AMDA is doing just that, and then some. Don't get me wrong though, I am very glad to be home with my mom and to have seen my other brother this weekend, and of course, to see my animals. I guess it's just bittersweet.

Next order of business- I think my blog needs a new name. I originally got the idea for "Fresh Eyes in the Morning" from a Bright Eyes song and thought it was so clever. But now I don't think it's an adequate description about what this blog is all about. So if you feel so inclined, post a comment with your ideas. I would greatly appreciate them, though I guess I should try to come up with it myself (I actually did come up with one while I was doing my typical "I-can't-sleep-so-I'm-going-to-lay-here-and-try-to-solve-all-the-world's-problems" routine, but unfortunately I did eventually fall asleep and now I can't remember).

Also, you guys should check out at song called "Sunshine" by Atmosphere. A friend of mine introduced me to this song a while back and I fell in love. It's a pretty good summer song anyway, so check it out!

Stay sweet- Meredith
