just a note i wrote on facebook....
of course, this was yesterday sometime:
In three days, I'll be getting on a plane in Harlingen, fly to Houston, then on to Salt Lake, where I'll be picked up and get a ride over to Provo. I mean, this is it. College is just around the corner, and I'm a complete mix of emotions right now. I'm soooo overly excited, yet still a bit scared. I guess it's time to start my goodbyes. I love McAllen. Well, maybe not the general area, but I love the people here. The friends I've made....I couldn't have asked for better ones. They come and go, it's true, but some of them just leave an impact on you so that you will never forget them. Some I met during the summer, or hung out with them for the first time. I really wish that summer didn't have to go by so fast, because some of those friends...I wish I had more time to spend with them, more time to hang out. I wish I had known them much longer.
Not many of my close friends are here anymore. They've already left. I'm scared to leave the place I've called home for the last sixteen and a half years, but the time comes when you've got to leave it all behind. Will I be ready? I hope so. And if I'm not? Well, I just gotta role with the punches. I love my family....my grandma, my parents, and my siblings, which is why I hate to say that I'm a bit relieved to be getting out of the house. My grandma, well, I never really see her cos she still lives in Ohio, but theres just way too much arguing sometimes. My mom and my dad on the rare occasion, my dad and Christina, my mom and Christina, Christina and me, and especially my mom and me. It gets so frustrating at times, but I know I'll miss it. Kinda pathetic, but whatever. It's the little things in life that make it worthwhile.
One thing I'm afraid of: college life will change the person that high school turned me into. I like who I am, I really do, but change can be good, right? I enjoy laughing and smiling and trying to have a good time. It makes me feel better about myself. My mom's always told me not to laugh so loud (and believe me, you know if you've heard my laugh), but it's who I am. I don't want any school or person to change that.
I guess all I'm trying to say is that: I'm afraid of what college will bring, and yet, I'm welcoming it at the same time.
This is kinda confusing. I'll miss you all. Take care of yourselves.
Class of '07: Make good lives for yourselves. Live it to the fullest, and try to have some fun while you do it.
Those of you still in high school: finish it out. Work and study hard, but try not to smother yourself in your homework, quizzes, tests, and projects. If there's anything that high school taught me, it's that I should have had more fun while I was in it. Savor every moment you have of it, because it goes by so quickly. When you're feeling stressed and/or worn out, lay down, relax, and do something that you enjoy.
and those of you who graduated before me, well, i guess theres not much I can say, except....keep up the good work. I'll try to do the same. :]
Adieu.
now that i think about a few things....i think i'm finally ready--to move, to breathe, to live....it all starts in a little more than a day.
