I just feel like saying this

I think everyone has there ups and downs. It's natural. Today was certainly a very depressing and mellow day at UCONN.

I have to say that I am at peace with myself right now. I am very content and happy with myself and my life. What's sad is that I might feel the opposite of that at some point this week, but in general I am just happy right now.

I guess being happy is something to be thankful for.

On a side note I looked over at the beer aisle in the super market. I'm not much of a drinker,(seriously 95% of humans drink more than me) but in less than 10 days now I'll be able to buy that stuff, which is cool. 21, I never could imagine being that old.

My family will come up to celebrate. I will have something, other than milk for a change. Yes, I love Milk. I almost threw up on Thursday night because I drank too much....Milk. I told that to a friend of mine and he laughed.

The more I think about it, the more I am considering missing senior night for men's soccer, or at-least the first half, to spend time with my mom and dad. I had wanted to see this soccer game all year, but I realize that moments like the one I am about to celebrate are rare and should be special. Both my parents are getting old, my dad is already 60 and my mom isn't too far behind.

My grandpa Palmer died while my dad was a freshman in college so my dad didn't have his father around when he turned 21. I'm not sure what the drinking age was for my father, but it is a milestone for a male in my family to see his son be able to drink. It should be a special moment and I don't want anything to interfere with it.

My parents will also be up that same day to listen to me announce the field hockey game. They've never heard me do that before. I don't think they will make it to soccer practice to watch me play fetch. Our dog does that enough.
