School again!

For all of you who don't know...college is wierd!
I haven't yet felt homesick, but then again, I haven't really done any real school work yet either! It is like some bizarre summer camp. I feel like very soon I am going to get on a big yellow school bus and go home to my family! But part of me knows that I'm not, so I have this tiny aweful feeling in the pit of my stomach, and it is telling me that I will feel very homesick as soon as actual classes start. I don't know if I am ready for that! I am sorry that I have been so lacking in my checking up and posting lately, but I have had so much to do lately that this is the first that I have been able to do anything fun online!
I hope that you can forgive me! I also hope that all of you, whoever you are at the moment, are doing fantastically!
I also want to share something that I wrote late one night when I couldn't fall asleep. It's not very good, or finished, but if you have anything to say, please do! I need all the help I can get!

Poets are the moon.
In that, they aren't like the sun.
They can't give sustain life,
they can't give off their own light.
But rather, they are the moon.
They aren't steady,
they change and shift,
they go through phases.
Even thought they give off
neither warmth
nor life.
They light people's way
without blinding them with their greatness.
And though they don't
give off their own light
or beauty,
it's their "job" to find the
beauty of others and
in everything else,
and reflect it back
for the world to see.

That's it...sorry if you expected more!
