| finishing up and the feelings that come along...I'm sitting here on the steps of my first townhouse. I just finished dinner (Pasta Roni) which if I eat another bite of it, I'll be sick, but hey it was something. The weather is gorgeous and I can't bring myself to go back inside as long as it's daylight. So I thought I'd grab the Mac and update....
I've been packing this evening and packing always brings up emotions. Though, this will be the third time I've packed up and left Lynchburg. It just says so much. It signifies the end of another year, that in my opinion went by way to fast. It also says maturity.
I can look back through the xanga posts and see where I've written a similar blog the last 2 years. So I guess this is kind of a traditional goodbye/closure blog. Although, now that I'm sitting here I don't have much to say really. I've grown a lot this past year. I'm more independent then when I came in August. This is good since I'm growing up.
Last Friday night, my roomies and I had dinner and invited the neighbor over just to be good neighbors and to show her Christ's love. We were all sitting around talking before she got there and talking about growing up. I asked them "do you ever just miss being a kid?" of course the unanimous answer was "yes". My roommate Abby said "just think we will never be little ever again". I guess what I'm saying is I'm making the transition. Learning to be an adult and my own person. Liberty has helped me a lot in this.
I talked to my childhood friend today (Thad). We've been friends since first grade. I've never had a brother, but he's the closest thing to it. I consider him my brother. I told him that I'm heading home tomorrow after my last exam of my undergrad degree and that it's hard to believe it's coming to an end. I told him I still have the email saved he wrote me when I first came to Liberty. He was surprised that I still had it and still read it from time to time. I save memorable stuff like that.
Well I guess that's about it. I'm distracted now. The roomie just got home and need help moving a couch in. Now we're all sitting at the kitchen table. I'm being unsociable. I'm updating and talking on ichat. I guess for now I'm out

| Just Ramblings Really...I'm at work bored. My boss just went on her lunch hour and left me with nothing to do. This is normally the case here. Today's my last day working here and I'm so happy to be done. I love the people I work for but this job has to be in the Top 10 list of World's Boringest Jobs...I'm sure. Yesterday I had my last class ever for my undergrad....does this qualify me as old?!? My exam is Friday and I head home. Then come back up on the 9th for graduation practice and then graduate on the 10th. It's been a long time coming with ups and downs for sure. It's a bitter-sweet feeling  I hope I get an A in my one class (Investigative Reporting). I'll settle for a B which is what I'll most likely get. I too often do things half-heartingly. I could be a lot better if I did it as if doing it unto the Lord - I'm still working on this verse. Things have gotten better here. I've been hanging out with all my friends from the dorm last year. I wrote Tess an email and she wrote me back apologizing and said we need to sit down and "talk". I agree we do, but we have yet to do it. I sincerely hope things get back to normal next year. Next year?!? You may be asking...yep you read it right. I got the GSA position (Graduate Student Assistant) here in the Communications department. Right now, they have me teaching Coms 101 to Freshmen which scares me! I told the dude that I wanted the one writing for the school newspaper so I'm PRAYING that comes open. With the GSA my master degree will be completely paid for - this is a huge blessing. Seeing that if it wasn't, there would be no way I could afford a master's. Plus they give me a salary of $7,200 which helps. Camps fastly approaching and I'm excited for it. I'm praying that the Lord gives me a healthy sense of confidence to do the job. I can't go in there timid and shy and expect the kids to think this is fun and exciting. I know that the Lord will use me - that first night is going to be nerve racking though! Along with this, I have been feeling that the Lord has taken away my fear of flying. However, I got an email today about my flights out west for the summer and I felt a drop in my stomach. I know when the time comes for me to board my first plane I'll be shaking. So I really love this time of year. I love the flowers and the smell of fresh cut grass...some may find this odd, but I love it. I love riding around with the windows rolled down. I missed the Dove's last week and I'm kinda sad about that. Every year Betsy and I say we are going but it never happens. Crowder had a really cute (kinda cheesy, but was meant to be) performance. Friday as soon as I get home, I'm babysitting. I don't really want to, but it's my favorite family to babysit for and I hate turning them down. Plus I desperately need the money and they pay well. I guess I need to get back to work and try to look busy, I'm out | | |

| I'm sitting here alone in my townhouse. Betsy just left and for some reason it was one of the hardest goodbyes I've ever experienced. I've been with her the last 2.5 weeks. I went home for spring break and then she came back with me to Lynchburg and Dad just came and picked her up. I really miss her. It's so lonely with out her here. However, I don't want this to be a sad post. On to more happy news, I got to see Crowder in concert on Saturday! it was SO much fun. My friend Britney had told me that she was planning on going with me since January and then decides to back out last minute...there's no need to dwell on how I felt about that one, but let's just say I was disappointed. Anyhow, the show turned out to be a lot of fun. He played for an hour and a half. We got there at 5 b/c doors opened at 6 so we got really close seats. Afterwards, we wanted to talk to him, but he wasn't around. The other band members were, but we were too scared to go and approach them. So then we decided to go and wait around where the bus was parked, because hey it worked in Raleigh, right?!? We decided to give up and we were walking away and we see them getting off the bus. They were in a big hurry so we couldn't get a picture but we did get to say hello and he looked right at us with other fans standing around and said "hey, ya'll made it".  I loved it! I didn't wear a "Crowder" shirt because for 1. I couldn't think of anything clever and 2. I want him to think I can be somewhat normal...haha! So these past few weeks have been alot of fun. We turned 23 a week ago yesterday and we had a fun get together at the house. I got to see Vikki, Emily, Lauren, Amanda, Daniel, Kyle, and Kyle's friend David. Vikki stayed into the wee hours in the morning and rang in our 23rd on video chat with Aaron from Arkansas and we were playing guitar hero....what a way to bring it in, huh?!? haha! it was alot of fun!  Next weekend (not this weekend), I will be in ATL for the Atlanta Passion Regional and I'm really excited about it! I am in need of being refreshed :) Also, I'm meeting Jake from the Crowder chat room - which is going to be a ton of fun in itself. I'm also suppose to meet up with some people from Centrifuge that I'm working with this summer so that will be fun too. Oh and I told Bets, we're not stopping till we meet Louie this year...haha I doubt that will happen, but we're going to try! Anyways, I'm out for now

| Spring Break!I leave for Spring break in about 1.5 days! I'm so excited to be home and now that I think about it this is the last Spring Break of my college career....which is so sad because I'm not ready to grow up yet! This upcoming weekend we are having a family get together for Papaw because he turned 80 yesterday. Isn't that crazy, 80?!? I was thinking about that and it blew my mind although I'm sure like Kenny Chesney's song, he would say it has flown by. It will be good though to be able to see the family and catch up. I'm truly blessed with the best family ever (okay so I'm biased  ).
Some of my friends are home on their spring break too so I'll get to see them. Unlike at Liberty University, when I go home to Rocky Mount, I never have to worry about finding someone to hang out (if they are home from school). I know that many people in our college group have moved out and in comes the new young ones but I adapt and make new friendships. I love that about my hometown, I can literally (almost) be friends with anyone.
So this post is random, but I thought what the heck, I haven't updated in over a month and just thought I would say, "I'm ready to go home!!".
I'm out | | |
