Year 2
January and Early February

Getting back to the seing of things was much easier than I expected...or maybe it's because I had so much to do in that timespan.  Once I went back to class and restarted my readings and papers, it seemed like I'd never left.  And I do mean that in both connotations.

It was hard trying to plug through the school day and thinking of when my next trip home would be.  Especialy since this term, I'd be home even less than last.  Because of us having only the one car, I had the option of taking it to school with me since my mother was refraining from driving.  The only thing that held that back was the cost of gas, insurance, permits, etc.  You get the picture.  Needless to say the GO bus between the university and home was going to become a very popular option.

It was three weeks until I was home to see Anna again.  Three weeks I wish to never repeat again.  Many things happened in those three weeks I'd prefer not to talk about due to their severity and emotional involvement.  You can probably put two and two together from that alone.

Come Friday, I was bouncier than a jack-in-the-box.  It took ages to finally see Anna, and when I did, it was one of the happiest moments in my life.  Honestly, that was the first time in three weeks I felt my heart move again.  I tackle hugged her so hard, Anna had to step back a few times to keep us from falling backwards.  But just standing there, holding her again was like a rhapsodic nirvana.  Better than any sort of chocolate, money or chocolate money ever.

The rest of the weekend was just as lovely.  Having Anna so close and actually being able to say 'i love you' in person was the best thing in the world.  I couldn't have asked for anything better.  Both Saturday and Sunday we stayed at mine and spent it cuddling and informing each other of all the details that happened when we were apart.  It was humerous to watch our parents give us odd looks as to why we needed to see each other so often during the short timespan, but we didn't care.  We had each other, and even if it was for a weekend, it was better than nothing.

Things settled back again like before once we returned to school but there were turbulences along the way that changed to course of my life, and Anna's, forever.
