This is the End

The day that I had looked forward to since the day I pulled into Briercrest finally arrived. I am home. Home for the long run..at least as far as I know. And I have completely the chapters of my life in a Christian school.

This stage of life is so weird. So full of terrifying beginnings followed by either heartbreaking endings or endings that took far too long to arrive. And it's all so unknown.

I don't really have anything good to say about my year. Apart from the fact that I must have grown. I must have grown in many ways that I do not even realize yet because it was so challenging. It was so big and lonely and unfamiliar. There were some good memories and some great laughs, but I can't even say that I was tremendously sad to say goodbye to anyone. There was never that level of bonding there in the first place. I wish a lot of things were different. But there must have been a purpose for the hall that I lived in and the people I met. Hopefully. In a lot of ways, honestly, I am bitter about my year. But once I find time to relax, breathe, and process fully, that may change.

I loved the classes. They were the best part of the year. I loved learning, I loved writing papers, I loved writing exams. Some classes were pointless and unbearable at times, but academically, I loved every minute of it.

I am SOO ready for summer. It doesn't feel like 'summer holidays'. It is such a novelty that I am done school in April that it hasn't even hit me yet. I have so many fun things planned. Many movies to watch and books to read. So you think you can dance!! A trip to Phoenix with mom, auntie, and heather. A possible trip to Waskesui with friends from high school. A wedding next weekend. Working...somewhere. Picnics and river walks. Star gazing. Having absolutely noooo homework!!! And before I know it I will be starting U of S. I am very excited.

8 Days

Yup, that's right. One day less than a week until I am all cozy and settled back into my home. I have my last class tomorrow, an exam on Thursday, two exams on Friday, and then I'm actually heading home for the weekend again because I have a worship team practice. On Sunday I have to mosey on back for FOUR days!!!! I have an exam next week Tuesday and then my last one is on Thursday. This could potentially be my last post before I'm done. I've been so crazy with stress and studying lately.

I realized tonight that these last 8 days do not only mean my last 8 days of Bible college ever, but they mean the last 8 days of my life spent in Christian schools. Next fall will be the first time I set foot (apart from two months in kindergarten) into a public school. That is a weird thought.

Well, besides studying and a few sporadic hang outs I've pretty much just been lying around and anxiously anticipating the day I move back home.

Dear Spring: Welcome home

I looove this weather! It just makes my heart so happy. I love waking up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining through my window.

I pretty much don't have anything else to write about.
20 days until home.
I'm almost done all my assignments and got a lot of work done on my last paper this morning.
I just got back from a DQ run in Moose Jaw.
Yum.
I really want to go outside and play ball or something - I may do that tomorrow.
Ooh, tonight I think I'm going to snuggle up and watch the Sound of Music.
When I watched the Princess Diaries with Julie Andrews in it, it made me want to watch it. And then last night the Musical Theatre Workshop class put on their year end performance and did scenes from it...so now I really want to watch it.
Umm.
Tomorrow afternoon is our last rehearsal before Sunday night. Oh man, I'm scared.

Yaaaayyyyyy. I'm in a good mood.
