Well, I guess I never thought I'd be saying this, but I officially have only 7 weeks left of actual college classes. All my life I thought college seemed like this looming event in the future that would probably never actually get here. And now it's almost over -weird. Anyways, I guess with the end coming up really soon, I've been pensive a lot lately. Whenever I had to make a transition in my life, which was pretty often, I usually began to take things a lot more seriously and make more of an effort to be sure that everyone around me knew that they were important to me. But why only when I'm getting ready to leave? Why not on an ordinary day when I am stessed out....can't I still offer the most I can for those people I am close to? It seems like, as the old saying goes, "You only appreciate what you had when it's gone." I need to learn to more fully appreciate who's here now and all they add to my life...
Anyways, today was basically hilarious on lunch shift for dishcrew. I was working rack, loading the dishes on, and Mel and Josh were on silver and slop. I had thrown a sponge that hit Josh square on the arm and another that hit Mel square on the ear/face. :) It was pure delight to me. Anyways, Josh decides he wants to get me back, a fair decision in my mind, as it is pretty normal to have sponge fights on silver/slop/rack. He throws it at me, completely missing, while I shriek (something I only do when I'm hyper or working dishcrew or both) and proceed to dump over my bucket of water all over myself. They were doubled over with laughter, and Killer soon shares the story with Nate and Naomi. News always travels fast on the crew, and soon everyone was looking at me knowingly, assured of the fact that I am a clutz who manages to dump water all over herself, even when I didn't even get hit by the sponge. I just enjoy those little D.C moments, and these are some times I will treasure and never forget.
Then there's those times I miss my boyfriend like CRAZY, like right now for instance. I have learned that when those times come, instead of being melancholy and feeling sorry for myself, I need to put every single one of those desires and feelings before the Lord, focusing back on who is my True Rock. Even though it's ok to miss my Aulo, it's important that he not become what I trust for support and the strength I can run to at the end of the day. God's really been convicting me of that lately.
So, anyways, Mel and Angelica are here studying, and I should probably take the hint and go do a bit of reading for Apologetics. or maybe just get to sleep soon, since I'm babysitting in the morning. That's another things I'll miss, watching little Liem and Raine every Friday. it's been fun...
The main thing for today is to be reminded that the people around me have always been important to me. They are some of God's instruments in shaping me into who He wants me to become. and i'll definitely miss them.
