(no subject)
I'm graduating in 45 days. WHOA.
I'm staying in the Berkshires for the summer, and then it's off to Hebei.
Where has the time gone?
I really enjoy living in 61. I couldn't have asked for better housemates.
Earlier on in the school year, I focused a great deal on how I "need to leave my mark on the MCLA campus" but now, I'm at the point where no matter how hard I leave my mark, it probably won't be as effective as I would like because MCLA keeps changing. I have now realized that what I can change and improve are the friendships I have with people at MCLA while I'm still here. I've been blowing off homework to talk with friends but I feel that is what I need right now. This isn't the way that I want it to sound, but I am so glad that my fellow seniors are feeling almost the exact same feelings as myself. I feel that the time right before a life changing event, ( in my case graduation) is not only terrifying as hell, but it's a time where one can look at what he/she is really doing and hopefully realize that he/she is surrounded by people who truly care about them.
For instance, when I went home for Spring Break I had a miserable time. I had adults left and right telling me I needed to get my Master's Degree before I did anything else, reminding me about the diseases over there, and basically finding reasons why I shouldn't go. I had a particularly tough time talking with my mom, who is very apprehensive about my trip. Yesterday, I got a card in the mail from her, and while reading the card, I realized that she expresses many of her thoughts in the cards she gives me. Initally I was confused ( it's a birthday card) but after I read it, I realized that although my mom is apprehensive about my trip, she is still finding ways to tell me she loves me, which I appreciate very much.
Anyway, I feel that this entry has turned into a tangent, so I will post another entry another time.
P.S. I AM SEEING IDINA EFFIN' MENZEL IN 12 HOURS! WOWIE ZOWIE!
