It's really quite an odd feeling that i'm going to be graduating on Saturday. Like I was driving back from McDonalds today and I was just glancing at the campus and it's a surreal feeling to know that I won't be here after Saturday. I mean, i've spent the last four years of my life at this school making friends, building relationships, working towards the goal of becoming a teacher. And i've done it. I AM a teacher. I know that i'm ready to go home and be home all the time because home just means more to me than Rock Hill does. But at the same time I know i'm going to miss being here and my friends, going to Pineville, the weather, the south, everything. I know i'm NOT going to miss going to class and stuff but it doesn't feel like college should be over already. When I think about it, it's been 8 years since I was a freshman in high school. 8 years. That's as long as my 2nd graders have been alive! My students always look at me for answers to everything and to protect them, obviously since i'm an adult, but it's weird to me. In my mind i'm still a kid. Sure, i'm almost 22 years old but I don't live on my own totally, I don't pay tons of bills, and I still love to sleep in until like noon. While I feel like a kid, I also do feel like an adult sometimes. It's an odd stage of life. This is such a huge milestone for me. I mean, i'm the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college. Not like I ever doubted that I would, but it's amazing to know I actually did it. It's like another chapter of my life is over. So weird.
On a different note, i'm glad to be teaching 4th grade right now but i'm so incredibly ready to be home for the summer. And my birthday is in less than 2 weeks!
