Yeah it has been just that long since I have been a "normal" college student. A summer, and a semester abroad have separated me from the routine and grind of college life that I had mastered (or so I thought). But now here I am feeling freshman jitters as a Junior. How odd. Traveling and experiencing a classroom without walls has spoiled me rotten and given me a shifted perspective. And now is the time to resolve the old with the new, find a balance, and somehow find a way to make it all fit harmoniously as one. Will I be able to gracefully transition into whoever I am now and successfully apply lessons learned within my life??? I sure hope so. With God's hand at work in the situation I'm hoping for a semester that brings me peace, and clarity, among this jumbled, tangled, exciting, beautiful mess of memories that the past few months of my life have bestowed upon me. I have faith it can be done, but now it's just a waiting game to see how exactly things will unfold.
On a happier note, I have been very happy lately getting to spend time with Jake, something that I was lacking and missing for a rather significant amount of time last semester. I think it will be wonderful to finally have the opportunity to be in the same place at the same time without there involving an hour long drive (poor Jacob). I think we both have a fun semester ahead of us.
So here I am, on my bed, with Angel, my spunky yet adorable kitty, and I am wondering just what tomorrow will bring. The best part is it's completely unwritten, much like the story of 2010. It's just beginning and it feels good to be in only month one of a new year...
