So… the weather sucks in Regina. Way too much rain and low ceilings for my liking, anyhow. So I’m on my computer instead, before supper and mandatory study time. Instead of flying, we had a grand total of 6 hours of grand school, meteorology and navigation. Which are my favourite subjects, but not for 6 hours. My goodness.

But that’s not really what I’m typing about right now. I don’t think many of you know this, but I’m not very good with keeping in touch with people. Even now, I can feel myself pulling away from my friends back home… I feel like I’m missing out on things that are happening. Even if they say “it’s nothing”, I still feel a little left out of the normal swing of things. It happens every time I quit an activity, switch schools, or leave the province. I can’t even relate to some of my old friends anymore sometimes, and it makes me feel like a terrible friend. And it’s always because I haven’t seen them for an extended amount of time.

Example: I was watching the Worlds swimming trials a couple days ago, and I saw someone I used to swim with 5 years ago. It made me think about what life might have been like if I didn’t quit swimming all those years ago. I certainly wouldn’t have been in the physical condition I’m in now (which is completely out of shape), but then I wouldn’t be in cadets, I would have quit band and would’ve never joined jazz band to allow myself to commit to swimming, and maybe I wouldn’t even have finished piano. There’s so many what ifs.

Anyway… that’s all for today. ^^
