Dreams are intended to help the brain process and remember recent events. My dreams also serve to integrate who, what and where I was with that which I am and will be. It should come as no surprise to me that the past two nights my sleep has been saturated with nonsensical dreams which arouse confused emotions. I am presently in Orange City, IA visiting my college friends. Such a strange thing, like the first and last week of school all rolled into one weekend. Conversations that begin with "Hey, I haven't seen you forever. I've missed you!" end far too soon with "Have a great semester. I'm going to miss you so much."
What am I doing leaving all of this behind? And what will I find when I return? A lot can happen in a semester. I know I will not be the same when the four months is up, I expect no more and no less from those I leave behind.

I really hope you meant to write "fine" as "find". Otherwise I can't get the smell of irony from my nostrils.
sam, I'm not too proud to admit I'm confused
Oh goodness! I know you'll be fine. We (as in the Faith people and I am VERY sure your college friends as well!)will all be here when you get back.
