So, it's over.
Year two, semester two. Semester number four. The end of the year has come.
I must say this has been one of the most emotional ends to a year that I've ever had. In high school, I was never really upset when the year ended. I'd see the people I cared about anyway. My senior year was somewhat emotional, but the same idea applied. Last year, all of my friends were still around, with the exception of a few.
But this year... this year's different. All of my close friends are going to be gone for the summer, with the exception of Nicki. Laurie will be back in a month, but she's off to Spain tomorrow morning.
But everyone else is leaving. WC will be in Jackson while I'm in Starkville. All of my friends from work, except for Thomas, are gone. Meredith and Alison have gone home, Sarah's gone home, Sara Murphy's getting married in two weeks. Rachel's back to Tupelo. Patrick's gone back to IL.
Obviously, that was the hardest. The past few days have been somewhat emotional for us. I wrote him a letter Thursday and cried halfway through it. When he left today, I cried again. I'm such a girl sometimes. We won't see each other again until late June.
This has been quite a semester. I developed some intense relationships with new friends in the first few weeks. Went through a messy breakup. Lost some formerly close friends. Developed relationships with new friends. Started a relationship with an amazing person who has been my best friend since august.
I've learned to separate past from present, present from future. I've learned what I need in life to be happy, and what I don't need in life to remain happy. I've learned that being ME isn't such a bad thing.
Even though everyone is leaving, I should be able to make a productive summer. I'm planning to invest alot of time in myself. I need some serious ME time, and I plan to have it. I can also use this time to further develop friendships with people like Matt, Nicki, Thomas, Laurie, and others that will be around for the summer. I'm fairly certain that even though the summer doesn't look entirely promising, it should be eventful.
There's going to be lots of working, and in June there will be more studying for my computer programming class. But I'll enjoy it all, I'm sure. I love my job, and I love the idea of computer programming. I'm not too upset.
And who knows, last summer a lot of fresh faces walked into my life and surprised me with a great time. Who's to say that won't happen again? Let's just let it happen.
As sad as I am that everyone's leaving, I'm glad that the semester is over. My classes have been quite stressful, but they're finally over. I don't have to worry about Calculus again until Fall 07. And that will be the fun kind of Calculus.
My grades weren't too shabby. I should have put more effort into Cal 4, but I can't change the past. I ended up with an A in Spanish, History, Geometry, and Differential Equations. And I pulled a B in Calculus, which is good considering I went into the final with a C. I've still got my scholarship, and I've got a 3.8 GPA, so that's nothing to laugh at.
I'm a junior now! It's so weird. I feel like I just started college, and now I'm halfway finished. I get to be a Junior for one semester, and then, as far as hours are concerned, I'll be a Senior...weird. I've still got two years either way.
The time to think about grad schools and GREs is steadily approaching... such a scary thought!
But, that's life. And i'm excited to live it.
Now, I need to go to sleep. My cousin's wedding is first thing in the morning, followed by intense family time with all the cousins, and a night in New Orleans! I'm thrilled about it all.
But for now, It's sleep. Goodnight!
