Squared Away?

Almost... I haven't really started packing yet. It feels sad to take stuff off of my walls and put them in boxes, even if I am just moving it from one side of the campus to the other. The apartment I'm moving into is a nice four-man apartment, only the two other guys living there don't want me to move in. (sarcastically) I wonder why? I thought anyone would LOVE to have an RA move in with them for the summer. I guess I'll never understand.

It's not quite the way I would have wished my summer to start, but challenges are entertainments of sorts I suppose. My other source of entertainment shall be my new job training today... four hours of it. I hope they have snacks or I might die.

Last night proved more difficult than I thought. It was our award ceremony for being RA's all year. It was my last. I always feel weird at those things. I feel like maybe I could have worked harder or done things differently. I got my blanket for resignation and I tried to not get emotional about it, but I'm pretty sure it showed through. I've got a bright future ahead of me though. I won't be slowed down.

So... I feel ready. I'm not quite sure what's going to happen this next year, and I don't really feel like making any predictions. I hope to grow and to become a bit wiser. I hope to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. I hope to graduate. I won't be worried though. To expect this ride to be smooth would be naive. It will get bumpy and uncomfortable but I'm strong enough to stand up. I'm excited to stand at the top of the mountain and look back at all the places I tripped and fell and all the places I succeeded. I guess after that I'll just have to find a new mountain. Peace and love.
