reflection
It has come to an end. In 4 days, I will move out of my house in Wausau and into my new life in Eau Claire. I have already said goodbye to most of my best friends, and am now preparing to meet new ones. I love Wausau. I'm pretty sure I'll live here forever. But I am ready for this. I am so excited. And I never thought I'd be able to say that, which is the magical thing.
High school was just long enough. When it was still in full swing I loved it, and when it came to an end I was ready for it to be over. The same can be said for this summer--there were some amazing times and I enjoyed them all, but now that it's winding down I'm ready to move on. All good things must come to an end, but hopefully in this case even better things are right around the corner.
All of my stuff is packed, only clothes have yet to be boxed up, and it feels good. Hooray for college. Hooray for growing up.
THURSDAY! I can't wait!

Home again, thank goodness, and now feeling very ready to leave for school. I'm so glad I can finally say that.
Observing 12 and 13 year olds for a week has certainly opened my eyes to how much I know about life compared to what I thought I knew then. I'm ready to be on my own--ready to start over and be happier and be ok by myself. I will miss my family and friends but I know I can talk to them pretty much whenver I want to, so it will be fine. I will be fine. Whew. I just want to keep repeating that over and over.

it's about that time
Some things just have to be said.
So many unfortunate things have been happening. I was so excited at the end of the school year for high school to be over, but sadly it appears that a lot of people enjoyed that drama and mindset so much that they haven't given it up yet. There will always be drama and there will always be a little bit of stupid high school in all of us, but clearly being rational and logical and MATURE have yet to replace locker banks, yearbooks, and bathroom passes. I understand that I have not yet even started college, so it's not like those things were that long ago, but weren't they things you looked forward to being done with so you could in turn experience better things? That's the impression I was under, at least. Anyway. Maybe you know who you are. But considering the situations, it's also likely that you don't.
In the meantime, while I wait for all of this ridiculousness to resolve itself, I am going to have an abso-frickin-lutely wonderful birthday weekend with all of my very favorite people. Thank goodness!
