This is not my life, or maybe it is....?

I am alive. 5 exams, a roots paper, a full day of officiating sports, and a presentation later, I am still standing. Except, right now I'm sitting, but I'm still breathing.
So the whole week(end) went by just as expected....I studied and studied and typed and typed and even had to go without Jacob for a few days. Its been an eventful 8 days but I'm glad its over, and its great to return to my normal, less responsible life.
Tomorrow I am going to see Paranormal Activity 2. Its the first time I'll be seeing a movie since August, when I was still home. I told myself I wouldn't get as bad as last year, but I find myself yearning for Michigan everyday (even the cold weather(sometimes)). But then again, the semester is more than halfway over, and going by quicker than any semester I can ever remember (college or high school), and I think I'll be on that plane ride back sooner than later.
Besides that, not much is going on. Well.....
I talked to Jacob today and he said he was seriously considering transferring to his girlfriend's school in California. I think, for the most part, I talked him out of it a little bit (thankfully, he doesn't read this) but I do think he has good reasons in doing so. I need to act fast in order to make a few things better than what they are right now. That starts with this coming weekend (Jacob's birthday), which is looking pretty good as of right now. Let's hope it stays that way.
Lately I've been thinking about how my life would be if certain things didn't come into play. Get this:
In April of 2009, one of the last months of my senior year of high school, I was ENROLLED at Michigan State. I had a roomate, a dorm, the works. Then one day in April, I got a letter from St. Ed's telling me how much scholarship money they were handing over to me. It was an offer I couldn't afford to not take.
Sometimes, on boring nights like tonight, usually, I think about just how different things woud have been if I had been able to stay in the state. I wouldn't be leaving anyone (its less than a two hour drive from home), its a huge school so there would always be someone to hang out with or talk to, and I would probably never be bored.
But when I think of that, I also think that a higher power might have interfered, because a lot of good things happened, as well. My friends and I found that leaving each other sucks, but it makes coming home so much better. I also learned a ton over last year, with adversity and the importance of friendship. I also met a lot of cool people! Maybe there's even someone special down here ;)
But I do enjoy the fact that my Texas life and my Michigan life are completely different. It seems that just when I start to tire of one life, its already time to head over to the other one.
Speaking of......I don't really know. I'm tired and really want to do laundry before I go to bed (relatively early). Hopefully I will be back before the weekend.
