So as I end my third year in college I figured I would drop an update here on LJ for the first time in a while. As this school year ends I am looking back and thinking of it as my hardest, most learning year of my schooling so far. Yes, if I could go back and change a few things I would. Am I where I want to be now? I don't know the answer to that yet, but I will say that I am not upset doing what I am doing now.

This year has brought the end of the longest relationship of my life. Miles and I broke up back in January because of a few things. I definitely miss a lot of what we had. A month after we broke up I met Marc and we are now together. I am so thankful to have him in my life. I trust him completely and can see in what we have many of the things I have done wrong in the past. This summer will be hard to be without him around.

Speaking of this summer, I am looking forward to being back home for the first time in two years. I have been very jaded by a lot of things here. It's time to get away from all of this and go back to the slow paced south. I actually need that again in my life, even for a short period of time. This past year has been the busiest I have ever been. I now stay up later, work more, hang out less, and even have fewer friends because I don't have time to see people as I used to.

A few weeks ago I actually got really upset about the loss of a lot of these friends, but I am doing a lot better about it now. Many things have changed over this year. Every year brings more changes than one small entry could cover, but this year I think if I had made an entry a week they all would have been long listing the number of events that have occurred.

Right now I am sitting in my final architecture reviews. I present in about two hours and am a little bit nervous. I designed the tallest building west of Chicago. Its a skyscraper 50 ft shorter than the Sears Tower. Last night was the first time I showered and slept in four days. Once this presentation is done I have three exams and then I am done with this year.

Like I said before, life is good right now. I am looking forward to this summer and getting some down time in SC. I plan on going to New York at least once for about two weeks in the middle of the summer. Other than that who knows where I will be at any given time. I might have my old job downtown again, or I could be with another architect. I have not had time to really figure that out. As I complete my third year at Miami and go into my last year as an undergrad, and my last year living on campus I am thankful for all the things that I have learned and all the events that I have been through. These things let me grow and change into the person that I want to be, rather the person who I will be and should be.
