another year has past, a new one is about to start
So I'm almost 20. A year ago, turning 20 seemed pretty scary, but now, not so much. In fact, I'm surprisingly excited about it. As I told Ann, I'm kind of done being a teenager. I've felt like I've been in a transitional period since college started, and I'm ready to be on the farther end of that. Transfering to Wheaton has helped tremedously, and getting to move out of my old room into a double that I have to myself did wonders too. I would say overall, this semester is the happiest and most comfortable I've been in a while. I've found my love for photography, I've joined a couple clubs, I've made some more friends. I feel like I'm finally starting to heal from a year of feeling out of place, and at last really starting to know what college is supposed to feel like.
I'm also very excited about going abroad now, another big change. For a long time, I was really nervous about it, and really on the fence about it, even though I knew in the back of my mind that I'd regret not going, and therefore had to. But I'm past that nervous stage, and now I can't wait. I'm going to learn more and do more than I can imagine right now. I'm going to be in photo heaven for a semester! And I'm so glad Ann and I get to be traveling buddies :)I think what would make my time abroad even better would be if I get my first kiss there, heehee. I say its about time something happens. Seriously.
And now, though I'm not dreading the rest of this semester or anything, I really can't wait for it to be summer. I can't wait to get to be with my girls again and have our wonderful girly movie fests, and to be down the street from Jenna again, and just be able to hang out with people. And I can't wait to start my photo internships. The one thing I don't like about this semester is that I don't have photo. Is it sad that I miss the chemical smell of the photo lab?
Anyway, I think that's enough from me. As I sit here contently writing, time keeps ticking, and I still need to clean up my room, and shower, and get to bed at a decent time. Tomorrow's my early morning at the nursery school :) Then Rachel's coming to visit, and the evening will be filled with fun of dinner at the Providence Place Mall, and hanging out and eating yummy cake when we get back :) I LOVE CAKE! *sings* Happy Birthday to me...
