Freshman Seminar Post #3

Today, my parents came to visit me. My dad wasn't feeling well, but we managed to be together for a total of 3 hours without fighting, which was awesome. We went to Friendly's for a meal and then we walked around Madison and went into stores. We found a really cool vintage clothes store and my mother helped me pay for an awesome reversible vest. It was really nice seeing them again, even though I haven't felt homesick. It was just a good feeling being with them for a short amount of time without it being a forced thing.

I feel as though I have a newly found appreciation for them. It's refreshing.

I don't have much else to say, this week has just been filled with class and work, like most other weeks. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

p.s. One of my friend's older brother came to visit. We started talking and realized we have a lot in common. I just left his room after a 3 hour long intellectually stimulating and profound conversation about human nature, the human condition, suffering, the arts, music, etc. Times like these are what I long for in college and I hope to have more of these experiences along the way. i wish to find my true self through being able to express what I know and expand on that knowledge.

  1. Glad you were able to spend quality time with your parents; its cool as we get older to be able to do those kinds of things, act more like adults then parent/child.

    Glad you were also able to have a good conversation with a friend and I hope you have a ton of wonderful expereinces like that.
