home again...
so...my first year of college is over...and i'm at home. i'm exhausted...i moved out...and in...and here i am.
new testament wasn't that bad...but i didn't do as well on it as i could have...my brain was goo...worthless...oh well...i'm sure i did ok.
my AT stuff is sprawled out in the next room...and everything from my room at school is all over my bedroom...it's not going anywhere until we get back from the AT...it's gonna take me all summer just to clean that mess....and then i'll have to pack it again...seriously..that doesn't sound very efficient to me...i guess that's because it isn't.
i talked to melinda tonight...and we're having a final meeting sunday night...and leaving way early on monday morning (like, before meghan gets up early :-) ). we're really doing this. we've been planning it for 11 months or so...since our senior trip. i've always wanted to do it...but when something that you've planned for for so long actually gets ready to happen...it's weird. this is very weird. my dad has no idea what's going on...it's like he doesn't even live in my house...even if he's told what's going on...he forgets. oh, well. "i'm leaving monday, dad, and i'll be back in three weeks...later!" yeah...it's like that.
i spent half an hour this evening looking for the stuff sack my sleeping bag goes in. i looked through everything in my room...because it wasn't in my AT stuff...and then I found it in my AT stuff...grrr. at least i found it though.
travis tritt concert tomorrow. i'm excited....josh and i will be stopping by emory because he didn't have enough room for all his stuff. we just can't stay away :-).
besides just surviving the AT...i'm hoping to rejuvinate from all the stress of this year...get closer to josh, in ways that you just can't do in the "real world", and discover things in me that i didn't know were there (as eva pointed out). I just want to get close to God. When i'm in school...or home...it's like, "hey God, come see me." Camping is like going to God's house....it's seeking....it's leaving a comfort zone to go encounter God. i'm definitely hoping for some mountain top experiences on this trip, and that i will be able to live changed when i come back to the valley :-).
so...i miss meghan and eva already...that's not good. hopefully, we'll get to see eva when we go through pburg...and after that i don't know...but we should definitely all get together at some point this summer :-)
and something that i've been trying not to think about...after this hike...josh and i will have one more month of summer together...and then he's leaving for 7 weeks to work for the government...(haha, that sounds funny) it's true though. i'm going to miss him so much..but oh well...i'm glad he's going...it's a great opportunity. besides...i have to work.
