Prologue
B
This past semester has been exhausting. I was finally in my junior year taking courses for my major and I had missed a couple of nights of sleep trying to catch up with all the required readings. I was sure that some professors wanted to make us suffer, but I was able to pull through.
I still can't understand how some students were able to get a full nights rest, or even go out every weekend, and still achieve a good grade in some of their classes. I guess it is still unknown if they had actually passed the class, but I still felt a little envious of how they had managed it.
I was going back home, finally. Visiting my father was exactly what the doctor has ordered. I missed my dad and my two close friends, but I cannot regret the decision that brought me to DC. The decision to move to the other side of the country for school seemed a great idea senior year of high school.
I wanted to get away from home, from being the chief of police daughter, and start somewhere where that label was no longer applied. It wasn't bad in Forks, but I wanted something different.
Washington DC has been very exciting. It doesn't hurt that having two friends that are always supporting you through the downs and ups of life. I met Angela and Chelsea in my freshmen seminar class, with our eccentric professor. He was all over the place trying to teach us what professor expected for essays and research papers.
I regress. Angela and Chelsea helped me grow and become more confident in myself, which is a bit different from high school me. Isn't that what college is all about though, learning and finding who you are?
Preparing my luggage to go back home, for Christmas Break, I just hope that I have a good time. School was becoming stressful and all I wanted was to hang out with my two girls, Rosalie and Alice.
