I had one of those perfect moments tonight. The kind where time stops, just for a moment, and you feel real. I felt a real connection with someone else. I've never felt closer to another human being than I did at that moment. It brought tears to my eyes. It's sad that those moments when you're truly happy are so few and far between. I guess that just makes them all the more special and memorable. I know now that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and I wouldn't change a thing. My life is great.
I graduate the 14th. Four and a half years. I started double-majoring in psych and photo with a minor in French. I dropped French at 302 and lost the photo major when I transferred to ASU and was accepted as a psych major. I added an art history minor when I was taking a shitload of art history classes trying to get accepted as a pre-art major to pick the photo degree back up. I finally got it and took three art classes and made a lot of awesome (at least I think so) pieces but I was finished with the psych classes and they cut my aid. C'est la vie. In short, I'll have a BA in psych with a minor in art history and over 140 credits. I'm getting a lot of awesome presents. Ken's buying me a digital camera, my bought me a spa day at the Hyatt, and my dad's promised a trip to Jamaica. He hasn't delivered yet so I wouldn't be surprised if I was disappointed, but he always comes through with something good so if it doesn't happen I'm sure he'll make up for it in some way. Before I get too excited about graduating I need to focus on the final I have in 8 hours, the paper that's due tomorrow at 5, the research paper that's due Tues., and the cultural psych paper that's due on Weds.
I'm applying to UO, Lewis & Clark, and UW. I'd like to go to Lewis & Clark and get my masters in community counseling working with adolescents and possibly focusing on addiction, but I have a crazy family and I've been "banned" from Portland. Ken's moving with me and although he's said he'll move to whichever city I decide on based on school, I think he's leaning toward Seattle anyway. It's crazy thinking about moving so far from my friends, family, and the only place I've ever really lived so soon. People do it all the time, I'm just being a baby. I don't think the adjustment should be too hard though, I'm used to moving around a lot and I've never let myself get too close to anyone anyway.
