From Pool to School (cheesy)

Okay, today is the last day of Summer break for me. *sigh* It's over. Unfortunately. But I'm really excited about this school year! Yeah, it's going to be weird not having Micah, Anna, or Jacqui here, but it'll still be awesome! I mean come one, I'M A SENIOR!!!!!

A few minutes ago I finished reading a letter I wrote to myself at the beginning of the summer. Some of the stuff I talked about in there made me laugh.... It's funny how much things change in just a few months..... Things that seemed so important then seem so uninportant now. It makes me wonder what I'll be thinking about my life a year from now or even after college. It just reminds me how small my problems are. As I get older I realize how small I am in the scope of things. What are my problems drama problems in comparison with the orphans in Africa or slaves around the world? Absolutely nothing.

So to get started in school on the right foot, I spent the afternoon organizing my room. I cleaned out my bookshelves and drawers to make room for new school books and other random junk I really probably don't need..... In the process of all of this I got caught up in an old box of stuff that contains random things from the past 5 years or so. Things like a few random pictures, notes passed in class, cards from friends, and other small things I wanted to save. As I was going through the box I came across random items that brought back so many memories I had almost forgotten. I sat in my room for a good hour or two just laughing at some of the times I've had with my friends. Everyday I realize just how much they mean to me. I have been truly blessed with Christian friends who support me in my faith and in everything I need support in. Thank you guys! Oh! another bonus in cleaning out my room today: I found $138.oo in cash and checks I had forgotten about. haha :) I guess cleaning pays off..... literally (lameeeeee.....sorry).

Another perk to the day today was that I got to see my friend Micah! Only for [literally] 2 minutes at church, but it was better than nothing! Ah. I miss my college friends! I'm glad they're all loving the college life though!

So, it has been GORGEOUS the last couple of days. The days have been cool with low humidity and the nights have been crisp with bright stars. I think I might go enjoy the rest of the evening outside on the roof.... It seems like the perfect way to say goodbye to summer------at least until next year. ;)

Well, I guess this is all for now. Hopefully my next post won't be so sentimental (I say that every time though....).
