At the start of all things, all you need are sexy shoes and spankin hair cut

Frodo: [leans over and hugs him] I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.

Sam: Don't go where I can't follow.

I think it is amazing at how many LOTR connections I can make, and here I am, making another one, "at the end of all things" - namely, my college career. This past Saturday was the official day for the end of two of my main responsibilities as Angie Yi: Director of Learner Events for Project Literacy and officer for College Group. Today, Monday, marked my last clusters meeting ever with some of the most beautiful girls I know. I don't know what to feel - I feel so overcome by emotion - thanksgiving and praise at God's faithfulness throughout my four years at school; appreciation for my clusters girls for their dedication and commitment and making clusters one of their priorities; love for my fellow prolit directors who see me as human, and accept me despite my weaknesses and mistakes.

Despite all that I leave behind, Here at the end of all things, I am glad. Here I am, new hair cut and newly bought sexy shoes, ready to face what's ahead of me. Like it takes JUST a new haircut and shoes to prepare me for what's ahead, but I feel confident, I feel READY, I feel like I can do anything!! I should tell everyone to buy shoes and get a haircut from now on!! What a powerful combination!! It has taken me quite a long time to be accept my physical traits, so this haircut is actually quite a confidence booster, and in this very very vain and superficial world, being physically appealing is definitely a plus. SHOES. SHOES. Shoes. I LOVE SHOES.... and accessories, purses, clothes, etc. BUT,SHOES. THey effect the way I walk that walk. THe kind of walk where people wonder who this sassy thing thinks she is. THe kind of walk that inspires confidence, oozes sexiness, and has a following of awed stares. =)

Add my GUESS sunglasses, and HONEY, I'm on fire!!!~

hehe.

I would like to say that's all I need. But I really don't have that look OR walk. At least one or the other would have been good. Asking for both is too much, I suppose. Aww shucks! I delude myself way too many times. Take away my haircut and my shoes, and what do you get? A 5'5" girl with almond shaped eyes, 127 pounds of jittering-ness (but nice legs.... if I say so myself), and a 3.2 average brain. Very normal, not so unusual, very mainstream. I guess the only thing that sets me apart would be my imagination. hahaha.

I think one of the biggest things that happened to me in college is that I've been INSPIRED. I see a hope that is bright and large. I have witnessed the power of God working through events, people, and myself. I have felt grace so beautiful and gentle. And though I am still learning, I have been touched by inspiration's tingling hands and I can't wait to see what else is in store for me. I am excited, I am scared. It doesn't matter; I've been moved! O Spirit!~

At the end of all things, I have my God - and I am glad. That's all that matters. I go where He leads me.
