So, the semester is over, grades are out, and I am officially a sophomore in college! Yes, another school year gone by, and I have survived. I cannot even believe it.
Freshman year of college for me, I'm almost positive, was unlike anyone elses. I feel so good about the way things went. I got involved, I met new people, I worked hard...sounds normal, right? Probably the only abnormal thing about it was that I didn't feel stressed, stupid, or burdened for about 95% of the time. When I was stressed or burdened, it was mostly because I wanted to go home or because I was afraid of not having the money to continue.
Thankfully, because of the generosity of the people here and the school's good grade scholarship deal, I do have the money to stay. I have conflicting feelings here I must admit. Because, though I do want to come home, I certainly do not want to come home a failure. I'm not going to be one of those college kids who come home and just take a break because everything was just too hard. Full speed ahead, I'm getting it.
Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself here and say the same things over and over again. I think if I read all my journals at once I would sound repetitive and stupid. No, that's not a suggestion to go do so in order to mock my vanilla flavored life.
Anyway, I miss the plam trees and the beach. Enjoy them while they last because you truly don't appreciate something until it's gone.
PS-The BYU-Idaho Dance team is coming to Florida in the next couple weeks. Some of my friends are on the team and are really amazing. (Maybe not as good as I think, but I'm just an ameture) Anyway, if you guys have time, go check it out. The performance is in the Nora Mayo Hall in Winter Haven. I believe it's on April 26th. I hope you guys can make it and you enjoy.
