Silence

Sorry for the long lack of posts. I just got caught up in lots of things, everything that is college. There was so much that I wanted to tell you, to share with you. I saw snow fall for the first time (it only lasted about five minutes, maybe less) and my family drove up to visit me. I played in a master class, and had one rough week feeling like a fraud. I've had successes and failures, wrote papers, took tests, and I spent a restful spring break at home with my family.

One thing about college that is so very different from high school is that experiences aren't shared the same way anymore. Back then, you spent the vast majority of your days with the same small group of people. But now, high school friends are in new places that are completely foreign to you, and your family is celebrating birthdays that you used to celebrate with them. Even friends that I've made here only have so much in common with me.

It's difficult to share everything.

So, what do you decide to share?

Well, here's one thing I thought I'd share with you: my spider friend died. He came down from the ceiling. On the microwave, he looked a lot less friendly.
