Thanks for the killer game of Crisco Twister…

So here I stand -- ready. Well, almost. I’m surrounded by gifts from people - of people, of materials to help me along my way, and with so many amazing memories.

I think my last two posts summarize everything I can articulate for the time being. Truth be told, I’m not in much of a mood to update either, although I still enjoy attempting to bring

There’s beauty in the breakdown…

I’ve come to the understanding that everything a person experiences (situations, problems, and the accompanying emotions) are drawn to you with the idea that you have the solution to the equation. They help you refocus what’s important to you - the things that make you feel happiest when you wake up - so that you are able to recognize them in the present because it’ll always be a part of your past. That’s essentially what my LIFE essay was about, and I think it applies to EVERYTHING, not just the 9 days we spent out in the middle of nowhere.

I sometimes miss HS. Not so much the school (though I had some amazing teachers), but the overall laziness haha. Like ROTC, where I had the easiest job ever, and always seemed to get praised for the simplest things. Or Religion IV, where I slept for two hours on A-block days. Things like that. I also miss the rifle team, but that’s because we were always winning and went on so many trips to compete nationally. Before joining the team, I never traveled out of state…but now I’ve been to Colorado, Kentucky, Nashville, and Atlanta to name a few. Good times!!! =)

Anyhoot, all us LIFErs need to meet back up one last time. This sounds corny, but I’ve never been to Mi Tierra downtown, so perhaps you guys would be up for that. I’ll call you sometime today, and wish you a happy new year’s. Peace.
