My thoughts pt 2
So it's a brand new week, yet things are still weird. It's like I'm in this state of denial that I can't seem to get out of. I know they say that each day will get a little easier but for some reason I'm finding it very hard to believe. I still can't sleep through the night without wondering why, and wondering what if, and wishing that I could wake up and realize that this last week was just a really long bad dream.
The one good thing about this week, was seeing Mr. Phillips in the grocery store, he was my favorite teacher in high school, and a family friend, and his kind words definately made me smile, but there was something he said that really summed up how I think a lot of us are feeling he said "we keep asking why, why him, why now, why, when ultimately we have to realize that it's life." It's hard to admit but it's true people die, we don't want them too, and in this case we had no warning but regardless people die.
I get comfort remembering the ceramics class I had with him, I remember how he said he liked the step team, because it made him want to dance, and the time I went to Mr. Phillip's Independant living class, to talk about college life, he was in the class, and loved that I went from the shy girl to the party girl, I remember the time he went to the 311 concert at DTE and came through my gate, and asked if I got to watch the show!!! He was such a great guy with a big heart, and as much as it's killing me that he's gone, I just have to understand that God had other plans for him.
On a much lighter note, I found out where I'll be living in Arizona! It was gonna be Flagstaff, but thankfully, I'll be moving to Anthem, which is pretty much in Phoenix. I'll pretty much be living on a golf course, Anthem basically is a pretty upscale community with it's own community center, waterpark, gym, and golf course, for its resisdents......that will give a certain few people more of an incentive to come visit me.....ALL THE TIME!!!! The houses are gorgeous and different...they look small from the outside, but inside it's completely different. The only downside is that in the summer it's HOT AS HELL, but throughout the rest of the year it's gorgeous, and the night life and shopping there is endless. Even better, my house might sell faster than we originally thought, thanks to Mr. Phillips, a ton of teachers are looking to buy houses in the area, so as soon as we put the house up, he's posting flyers, which will help us out a lot!!!
My cousin Teisha, is a social worker, so it won't be very hard to find a job which is cool, on top of that she too is addicted to shopping and has TEN coach purses.......we'll definately be spending a TON of time together. My cousin Burt is living out in Phoenix now, so that right there is a party waiting to happen.....I sooooooo can't wait!!!
On the school front.....I had a huge project and paper due, and I finally finished both of them which will put an end to the workload this semester!! I have one more big paper, and a few smaller papers, but nothing like these last three weeks, I got to a point where I didn't think I would be able to catch up, but as usual, I sucked it up and got my priorities straight. I can't wait to take my finals!
Wow, I've written a novel, but now it's time to get to class so I can turn this damn paper in and get it off my hands!!!!
