the good ol' days

today i have an overwhelming feeling of sadness... or maybe its loss... or a yearning for times past...
i miss andrews very much today.
i miss my friends that were there while i was there.
i miss all the girls i'd hang with... i miss the atmosphere... i miss the bed... i had a great bed at andrews... i think i liked it even better than the bed at home at that time...
i miss eating out at random moments with people... i miss sitting around the art building... writing papers while the art students were doing their thing...
i miss the smell... the long drives without traffic.... the corn fields... driving past vineyards when the smell is overpowering... i miss the smell of burning leaves in the fall... i miss not caring about much besides a few classes...
i miss inbetween class coffee breaks at the gas station with ava.... i miss driving to the lake and walking in the sand... jumping in the dunes... i miss singing at mosaic... totally losing myself (thats the only place i've ever been able to do that)...
i miss lazy sabbaths... hearing dwight's sermon series on poverty...
i miss breakfast at the caff with ava or dayleen... i miss running around the campus... i miss yoga classes and the incredible pain the following day... i miss a few of my teachers... i miss dr. stefanovic and dr. cesar a lot.... i miss so many things.. and as i sit here at work.. i cant think of much else... and what sucks is i know that i cant visit that again... if i go to andrews now its completely different... i dont know anyw\one besides my sister and a few of her friends that i've met...
