I am going home for this weekend and I am definitely looking forward to it. I haven't been home since the first week of school and I'm excited to see some of my friends, family and my dog (i know, i know... but i miss him too!). I'm hoping to see some movies because I honestly haven't been to the movie theatre in I don't know how long. I feel completely cut off from the outside world because I have no clue what movies are playing, what songs are popular and what TV shows are playing. I also really don't know what else is going on when it comes to world issues or the government. It's weird because in college, I feel like I have more of an opportunity to become involved yet I feel like I truly am living in a bubble. The only newspaper I read is the Daily Tar Heel and mostly, the only information I hear is about activities going on at Chapel Hill. Does anyone else feel like that sometimes? I find that feeling really weird. But I guess, college allows you to figure out who you are as an individual without the distractions of the media. You can focus on your goals in life and who you want to be as a person. But I still like to go home and find out what's going on, feel like I'm part of the loop again...
