At 10:05 a.m. yesterday, I turned in my very last paper of the 09-10 school year. At 12:13 p.m. today, I was officially moved out of my dorm and leaving Crown. These past few weeks flew by faster than I could keep up with. I never imagined that I would be feeling disappointed that the semester was coming to an end and summer break was coming up. However, with all of the goodbyes I've had to say in the past few days, I'm a weird mixture of sad/happy/lonely/I don't even know what else. So much has happened since school started in August. There were good times, bad times, reeeallly bad times, and then some really amazing times. I met so many awesome people that changed my life, probably more than they know. I'm really just crazy blessed to have had all of the cool experiences that I did.
Goodbyes are hard, especially when there's a chance that it's a goodbye forever. When the thought of that gets me down, I just try to remind myself that goodbyes are basically transitions into the next season of my life. So long to Crown and homework and all my friends there, and hello to summer, which will bring with it a whole new list of adventures! If we never had to let go of anything, we would never be able to experience new and amazing things. Even if I want the stars that come out at night to stay forever, I need to accept the change that brings sunlight and warmth in the morning. And then, when the sunset comes around and all I want to do is look at all of my favorite colors painted in the sky, once again I say goodbye to the day and hello to the rising moon. Change isn't always easy, but it's so worth it. It's what makes life worth living! I'm so thankful that God keeps me on my toes, changing things up all the time. I'm pretty sure life would be ridiculously boring otherwise.
I must say though, that I am extremely looking forward to this summer. I have amazing friends and family that I will get to spend time with, and lots of fun things planned. I will be working hard to collect all the money that I need for my DTS in September, and I am definitely going to be tested in my faith when it comes to getting all of that together. But, I know that God will provide and I can't wait to see the cool ways that He comes through for me.
So, I guess this is the end of my first official blog post. I'm really not even sure who will read these, but hey if you made it this far, thanks for caring enough to keep reading? Haha
Well, I am now off to sleep on my first real night of summer. Ah this feels goooood.
