As the big day gets closer, I'm been taking care of busy work that is necessary for the program. Today included going and getting a TB shot. See, I don't know why people get all bent out of sorts over shots. I understand if you're afraid of needles, but really, it doesn't even hurt. I think it's actually rather neat to see the vaccine go into the skin, but that's just me.
Like in any situation, regardless of how exciting the prospective of traveling to a new city and meeting new people is, it genuinely sucks to have to say goodbye to family and friends. I should be used to it by now as I've moved plenty of times, but even though I know "it's not goodbye, it's I'll see you later", it doesn't make it any easier.
Tonight I got my "goodbye" dinner with my Mom and brother. We went to Vincent's, a good Italian joint, with delicious pizza. Spending time with my family is always a favorite of mine because I don't know when I'll see them next. For instance, my sister went back to Penn St. and although she's coming back on Saturday, I might not be at home when she is, so there is a very realistic chance that I won't see her until Christmas.
One thing that I have to continue to do is not forget who I am. I want to improve myself but not at the cost of losing my principles and changing for the worse. That said, with the MLB All-Star Game on right now, I'm peacin' out and continuing a tradition that I've done for as long as I can remember, watching the Midsummer Classic for the sport that I absolutely love.
