whoa, is it summer?
yeah, i believe so!
i can't believe that the time has finally come, for me to take a break. freshman year is over in two more days. my dad is coming here at 7 tomorrow morning to pick up most of my stuff, and then i'll take my IR final friday and leave saturday with my mom and aunt.
it's so weird that i'm not going to see any of my school friends for 3 months, the people i have been waking up with, eating every meal with, hanging out with every day... talking to about everything... i'm really going to miss them.
not to say i am not so relieved that it's summer~ i feel like i've been working my ass off for so long, and i have been. it's finally my time to get the break i deserve for a few months. i can't wait to enjoy sundays on the boat and weekdays at the beach, and to see the people i left 9 months ago.
i learned so much about myself since i graduated from high school. i was this sheltered girl who spent 18 years in the same town, yearning to get out and see something else, meet someone else, do something else.
i came here not knowing anyone and have formed deep and meaningful relationships.
i left high school thinking i knew what i wanted to do with my life, and learned here that i hadn't a clue. but now i am getting closer, and i actually have somewhat of a plan.
majoring in international relations is really exciting to me. i never thought i would learn spanish proficiently, but i have and im going to keep going.
i have opportunities now that i didn't have before, and i am so excited about the prospect of spending junior year in spain & france. i am looking forward to a future filled with learning about things i've never seen before.
i've learned about the kinds of people whom I want in my life, and the kinds I don't.
i've learned that i can get stuck in a room living with a perfect stranger, and make it work. (or maybe we were just lucky) ;)
i've learned how to make decisions for myself, and not to get too wrapped up in the party scene but still have a damn good time.
there's not much else to say, except that i miss my family and my friends, and although i'll probably be whining about RI in a month, I am looking forward to coming home.
