updates and reflections
I love coming back to this thing randomly... it's fun to look back and see the various points of my life since getting to college. If only I were more of the consistent journaling type... I have the tendency to be a live journal fanatic for a couple of weeks, and then you won't hear from me for a year or so. I suppose something is better than nothing.
So, what's my update? I finally see my life moving forward. It's amazing how quickly things can change. Although time marches on, I've felt for so long that I've been treading water. I mean, yeah, school keeps going and I'll be graduating in a year - thank God. But other than that, I've felt like my past has been my present and I can't get to my future. It's not like I've received answers to all my questions. That would be impossible because I have about a billion and I'm always thinking of new ones. But I'm getting a couple of answers. Turns out, I met a boy... 6 years ago... I just didn't know it at the time. =0)
Semester is almost over. I survived another one, I think. I'll rest comfortably after finals are over. 2 weeks and counting. 3 semesters left of school. Ever. Until grad school. Later. I'll be in school for this entire summer. Well, May 14th - July 13th. Looking forward to a slow down in the constant study cycles. Just taking 2 classes, and maybe an elective.
Still teaching Boone, kind of. Things are really weird right now. I'm not happy about it or remotely ok with it. Not really sure whats gonna happen with that. Grrr. It makes me angry. Those are my babies =0/
I turn 22 in 3 weeks. How bout that?
One of the Virginia Tech memorial websites has a page posted of the victims with links to their MySpace. I've spent a few minutes this morning looking through, and it really brings everything to life. You hear their names, and see pictures on the news... but seeing words they've written and pictures with friends... wow. The most heartbreaking part is the trend in comments. It starts out with concerned friends and family "Please call us", "we're worried about you, call asap", "are you ok? i heard about what happened. call me!" and then it turns into "We love you, rest in peace." There are some things in life that I will never understand. =0( The site was posted with the intention of really bringing this tragedy to life... it's not meant to be disrespectful at all... so if you're interested:
