Grad Week
It's finally here. Can't really believe it. I don't know if I want to believe it yet. How things change. I would do things differently. Maybe not too much. I'd spend more time with my friends...who I know I've been neglecting. I would have more fun. I would think before diving into a serious relationship, because it can hurt so goddamned much, although, no regrets. I would try not to take things so seriously in general. See, I'm learning from this job already and it hasn't even started yet. As for that...I have one more week without children. I'm excited. And terrified. I'm going to be exhausted.
I'm in the middle of the 5th Harry Potter book. There's about a month..and a little more before the last book is released. (Quite the end of an era if you ask me). I am going to start reading Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen. I'm excited for this one. It's going to be good. Today I spent more than I wanted to on Father's Day presents...but that's okay. Pay check this Friday? I think so. My grandparents, aunt and old dog are coming on Tuesday. I'm supposed to be cleaning. I realized that if I want to see them at all while they're here that I really won't be able to do the extra hours I wanted to for work. Sacrifices. This song is incredibly poignant.
"For Good" - Wicked.
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us
Now it's up to you:
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun.
Like a stream the meets a boulder halfway through the wood.
Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea.
Like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
And because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
