Sorry It Took So Long...

Maybe it's the anticipation of friends near-forgotten, having not seen them in what seems a lifetime, or the mouth-watering prospect of being on the cusp of finally graduating, but something has me wanting to go to school; and desperately. So much so that I've forgotten to enjoy my trek to back to school.

Tonight, I'm writing from a home that I've visited on many occasions and it's always a pleasure to be sitting and talking with family, even if it once again signals that my short-sighted government, who ironically is investing heavily in tourism, has yet to afford my nation a night-landing capable airport. Yet even the joy of hanging with family, whom I last saw a few years ago because of the many interesting routes I've taken to Jamaica over the years, pales in comparison to the burning desire to get back to familiar surroundings and faces. And to think just a few months ago I was itching to run from it to the uncertainty that home offered.

Be careful, though, that you don't interpret what has been a fore mentioned, as meaning that i did not enjoy it. That was not the case at all. I enjoyed it all, from the sweltering heat and horrible humidity to the air-conditioned newsroom of one of the top radio stations in the country and every degree in between. The long Sabbath services, drawn-out by incredibly beautiful singing (it's in the genes...lol) and heart-wrenching testimonies are just part of the experience of my entire "summer's experience". However, I have come to realize that with each tropical depression, summer slips away and I have arrived at it's inevitable end.

I felt it about a week ago and I knew that I had already turned the corner and school was staring me right in the face. Surprisingly and, like I mentioned, I don't know exactly why, my attitude towards the notion of returning to school is better than it's ever been. And I understand that some may not share my enthusiasm and of such I will do my best only to express it on blogs and keep it to myself when we meet. But know that I will be delighted to see you and eager to again attempt the "perfect" semester.
