The beginning to an end
Last first week of class for this girl
Time to grow up and start to find my place in the real world
Not sure of quite what to write to hallmark this momentous occasion.... so maybe i will just talk about my break a little bit.
New Years:
Came back to GR to spend time with Ashley and Jenny... it was GREAT we went to Dave Tarnow's and were met by a large crowd of strangers and a smaller crowds of familiar delt sig faces. I had a great New Years kiss that makes me excited for all of the possibilities that lie in the year ahead. New Year's morning Ashley, Jenny, Jake, and I ate breakfast at the Red G. (my FAVORITE restaurant in the universe) and then I spend the afternoon and evening at 865 Innes laying around and talking to the girls..... what a way to kick off the new years!!!
San Diego:
January 4th-8th I spent in the great city of San Diego California. This was an indescribably incredible experience. I flew alone, because Julie dropped outta the American Humanics program and we had travel plans together. And while at first I was quite terrified at the thought of navigating my way around airports and cities alone, it was actually fun and adventurous! The group of student I went with was AMAZING! There were 20 GVSU students... and while I had been in organizations with a handful of them, there was no one I really knew well at all. I was in the presence of GVSU's most passionate and kind-hearted people-- and it was sooo much fun! I met a lot of great people... and hopefully one day when we grow up we will be working together to help save the world! After the conference was over, and all the other kids had flown home my cousin (long-time san diego resident) picked me up and I spent the day with her at the Breathtakingly beautiful beach in La Jolla. We went back to her place in the evening, she and her husband Mark have a beautiful house in Norte Terrace where her 1 and 3 year old bring run around and learn about this thing called life... Samantha the three year old is just the cutest little girl in the world, she read me a bedtime story... it was great
Back to the grind:
Sunday I flew into Detroit at 5pm was home to Oxford by 7pm and out the door headed to GR by 8pm.... I wish I could have spent more time at home... but I needed to get back that night to take care of all the book buying and other errands that accompany the beginning of a semester.... of course I stopped to see Ashley and Jenny on my way into town.... it just felt like the right thing to do
I am excited for my classes this semester... i think they will be challenging... but I am back to taking mostly PA classes... and its my LAST SEMESTER at GVSU... admitting this evokes fear, excitement, anxiety, relief and any other emotion that one can think of.... see I've become really good at being a college student... I know how to balance the classes/jobs/friends/activities/boys/family/adventure time.... I just hope that I can keep on doing all that stuff when I am no longer a student....
I'm not sure where my place is in this world.... but my goal this semester is to be ok with that... and know that my place is where I make it, and find inner peace in knowing that whatever steps I take towards the future are the right ones, and if they're not then I can always backup and start again...
