Deep Impact (not the movie!)
So much to do, so little time. This is our last week of classes before finals and of course I have about a thousand things due. Just today I turned in two portfolios, both of which I was franctically working on all day in between work and class. My next item isn't due until Friday, so I can relax a little until then.I would have had my portfolios done last night, but we had an unexpected visitor which totally made my day! Leah is back from student teaching, so she came to stay with us for a night. It was so much fun having her here. Very refreshing. Its that time when things are getting a little tense because everyone had a ton to do and no one has any time for fun and therefore are crabby. I think you know what I'm talking about.
I'm trying my best to let myself get stressed out this week. I want to try to enjoy my last two weeks with these people that I have come to love. I can't believe that its been four years and now its time for most of my friends to move on. When I was little I never thought the day would come when I would be old enough to graduate college. I say old enough because as you all should know by now I have to be here an extra year. It's actually a nice thought that I have one more year of security before I have to start the next part of my life.
Who would have thought that these years would have gone by so quickly? I came into college thinking that I wasn't going to make any life long friends because I only wanted to stay friends with people from home. I'm sure glad that my attitude changed. I have made some amazing friends. I've made some best friends... ones that I won't have made it through without. Lucky for me that my best friend got a job here in town and I have the joy of spending one more year with her.
I'm going to miss people so much and I know we all say we're going to stay just as close, but the reality is that that probably won't happen. However, you know you have a good friendship when you can speak only once a year and still be fine. I think (I hope) thats how it will be.
Its weird to think that so many people have had such an impact on my life. Even those people that I only have casual conversations with. My mind keeps going back to the thought that if the people I come in contact with everyday have such an impact on my life, how much more should God have an impact? I'm not going to elaborate right now though. It's food for thought.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
