Oh What a Day

My relationship with school has come to a tragic end. And this is how I feel about it!

Time to move on.

I can't believe it's over. Where in the world has the time gone? As I was thinking about this past year, just reflecting the experiences I've had and the people I've met. It's hard to see what I've learned. I don't feel that different. I still feel like me. However, I was reading a journal entry from about 6 months ago and I thought, "Wow, did I really feel like that? I don't remember being that girl" This doesn't conclude that I've done a lot of changing. It could've just been the mood I was in at that particular time. Nonetheless, I do think I've learned a lot.  

I am ready for the year to be over. It's that time now. Does that make it easy? No it doesn't. There's so much that's coming to an end. For good. Just barely one of my roommates came home and for a split second I thought maybe it was Melanie rushing into our bedroom like she always does. But then I remembered that she's gone. I looked over my shoulder to find the other half of my room completely empty. It made me want to cry. I don't want to think about how she'll never be my roommate again. But I can't help it. She's getting married tomorrow. I'm so happy that it's finally here, but I'm just going to miss her so much...  And my other roommates... Mindy's sarcasm and willingness to help at any opportunity... Cori serenading us with her guitar (our personal favorite was "Hey Soul Sister") .... Kate's sweetness and hidden goofiness... and Whitney... I'm going to miss Whitney... Her craziness, her hilarious comments, her realistic views and advice, her surety, in herself and in her faith. I'm going to miss my roommates, my little family outside of my family. 

And my ward. All the people I've come to know and love. My visiting teachers. My bishop. This apartment that was my home. My bed. All of it. It's all coming to an end now... 

Why did I write on my blog?? Now I'm a big emotional mess. Should've stuck with my original plan, which did not include writing any of this. 

Anyway, life moves on. It's constantly changing. Never would I want it to stay the same. I want something new. Something different. But first I have to say goodbye to all of this. I really don't like goodbyes. Sometimes I try to move on and just say goodbye without thinking about it. I try not to think about how it's never going to be the same. It's easier that way. It looks like tonight I'm soaking it all in.

With all of that said, time to move on! I'm ready! I'm ready for an awesome summer. For new experiences. New people. 
Just like the song says, nothing can stand in my way! Now that this year is gone, I'm rolling onto something good. :)
