*sad sigh*

It's time.

I will no longer be posting on this Xanga site. It's been a long time coming, and I've tried to keep up with it through little tidbits of information about what's been going on in the life of Amy at Biola...but alas, the time has come to move on.

It's sad to say goodbye...this Xanga and I have gone through a good many chapters of life...through tears, through laughter, through rows of obnoxious happy face symbols in the early days, and more. Maybe someday, when I have absolutely nothing better to do, I'll sit down and read through the past few years in order, but until then, my diary lies for all to see in the world of cyberspace.

I hope that through it all, you've been able to at least glimpse the inner thoughts of Amy. Goodness knows they weren't all laid out on the table, but enough of them were to where you should be able to get a pretty good idea of where I was during the different stages of my life.

So farewell, fair readers. Thank you. I'm glad that we had the opportunity to share this together.

With love and warm wishes
Simply Amy.

Farewell, Eighteen!

Nothing beats shooting off liters of diet coke and mentos in the park at midnight. I have to say, it was one of the most original ways to start a new year I've ever experienced.

Never have I looked forward to a year with such anticipation, hope, or excitement.

Sure, I loved Eighteen. We got through a lot, her and I. Quite a few changes, laughter, tears, heartache, confusion, celebration, joy...the list continues on.

But Nineteen? Bring it on. :)

It feels as though I've been back here for eons...

Things are finally settling in to the normal routine, and I love it. I know I say that every single time I post on here, but I can't help it, lol. I honestly don't know how else to describe the life I've created for myself here at Biola...it's simply glorious.

Going through a Keane phase at the moment. Dang...so emo.

I absolutely adore my roommate, Joy. I've finally found my snuggle-buddy, which means more than I can say. :)

One thing that's not going all that well...God and I are going through a bit of a dry spell. Haven't really been open about that area of my life for a while now, and I sincerely apologize. I'm just not sure where we stand, He and I, and I don't really know what to do to change it. Unfortunately, it's just as easy to fall away from Him at a Christian University...

On the other hand, Happy Birthday to Katie and my Mom. I hold you both in the special corners of my heart, and love and miss you dearly.

First week of classes are over and done with, and it feels so amazingly wonderful to be back. I hadn't fully realized how much I missed everything and everyone.

I love college.
