well, it's my last day in wilmington. dad's coming this afternoon to haul my stuff back home and i'm back in charlotte. i don't feel emotional so much as physically sick at the thought of leaving. I thank God for every moment He has blessed me with in this town and for the life He has made for me down here. I know it will change but I thank Him for that too... I hate change, but I've seen the immense blessings that come from it (perfect examples being coming to college in the first place and readjusting from all the changes sophomore year brought with it). God has worked in all of this and He will continue to work.
Thank You, thank You, thank You Jesus! Wow, that may have been the first time I've been able to appreciate change during a time in which change is actually occurring.
So, despite the fact that I have an exam today at 11:30 (one that i hadn't studied for at all) i went with everyone to a bonfire on the beach last night and spent the last night of my sophomore year sitting with so many people i love in front of the firelight listening to the waves crash... at least, listening to them in the moments that we weren't being completely ridiculous. i went ahead and slipped in an hour of sleep on account of my only having had 2 the night before and 3 the night before that, and then awoke to watch the sunrise. we took far too many pictures (you can't help it when you feel like every moment should be captured..) so those will be facebooked once i get back on... i had to pull away on account of my addiction going overboard and distracting me from exams. very pretty sunrise; i've seen quite a few now and it's so neat to see how unique each one is. and it happens every day! we just get up and go about our day not even thinking about that gorgeous phenomenon occurring each morning. but it still happens. i love it.
so one month back in charlotte before i'm off to chile... i can't wait to see everybody. thinking of everyone makes me look forward to home. =) gracious, another year. i better get packing.
