Does anyone else really not like it when someone just arbitrarily takes a month off of their blog, comes back, and expects the world to still listen?

Good. Me neither, which is obviously why I’m doing it. I have sat countless times in the last few weeks staring at the front page of my blog, wondering where to begin. So many things have transpired that there’s just no way I can cover it all. I don’t want to cover it all.

But I’m back at school. That’s weird, awkward, confusing, painful, and intense all at once. The first week of class has been possibly the longest week of my academic life. I’ve never felt so out of it before. Ever.

I’m living in the same house with my ex. No amount of planning, contemplation, time or experience will prepare you for this. At times it’s like throwing yourself at a brick wall incessantly and liking it. At other times it’s beautiful. Most of the time it’s just awkward.

I’m learning what it’s like to be off-board. Culinary House is a study in opposites. Somehow, we can be so motivated to make food and eat like kings (for college anyway) at dinner time, yet so lazy that a peanut butter sandwich at lunch is too much work.

I’m rediscovering the joys of alcohol. Because hey, this is college.

I can’t move backward. No amount of rehashing old stories, backposting, or anything else will make up for the last month of silence. But on the other hand, I can’t deny that there’s a lot for me to talk about. After more than six months of not being a college student, it’s time that my blog about being a college student gets the treatment it deserves.
