Hay esperanza en todo la vida..
I've been thinking back a lot lately.. not so much to dwell on anything but to just look at how things have evolved and changed since my freshman year. So many things have happened that I thought weren't possible and there is still more to come.
When I graduated high school my life was falling apart. I was moving in with my grandmother who I hardly knew and my sister who I barely spoke with on a regular basis without fighting. I didn't have any real clue when it came to the future. I did NOT want to be at UMASS-Dartmouth and I was going to leave as soon as it was possible.
This all seems funny now that I am entering my senior year of college.
So my life didn't actually fall apart. Imagine that. I know my grandmother a whole lot better, which is both good and bad. My sister and I can actually spend time together without wanting to shoot each other, but we still have many many of those moment when we just can't be near each other. Once in a while I get an email or an IM from her just because which is very different from the way things once were. After two different career paths I have finally found a major and a path that I am in love with! I couldn't be happier with my choice on most days, which is an interesting thing for me. I am STILL at UMASS-Dartmouth.
This is my last semester where I will physically be at UMASS-Dartmouth. It's kind of crazy. It's kicking off with all of the people most important to me in one place.. how did that happen?! Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking at this with a dreamer's perspective. I know this semester is going to be hell. I will probably be overworked, overtired, stressed, sleep deprived, etc. But on December 20th it will be done and I will be 10 days away from getting on a plane. I get to finish my entire college career from the place I have fallen in love with. This place I almost said NO to 3 years ago, and now I am going to be living there.
I guess what I'm getting at is that God is incredible. He's done ALL this and He's still providing?!
10 support letters went out today. Word of a check coming soon. 10 more support letters go out tomorrow. Be praying for this guys. $9,000 is a lot of money. I'm nervous about it no matter how much I know about what God has done. It's still scary.
In the new? Nothing really. Nicole left for Greece today for three weeks. I have to see my mother next weekend, and I just don't want to. I miss everyone in the DR a lot a lot a lot. I'm ready for September, but even more ready for December.
