the day after tomorrow

is the day I leave for Beautiful British Columbia (that's what it says on their lisence plates--and they're not just bragging because it is breathtakingly beautiful there.) I finished working for Dordt on Friday, and have been hanging out with friends who are returning after the summer, relaxing and trying to get myself into a teacher state of mind, and working on last minute things that need to be finished before I leave. It's fun to have people around again--I forgot how much I missed them. Their return also makes me a little afraid for when I go out on my own and don't have an automatic community like the one here at Dordt. How does one find and make friends who share the same interests and desires for their lives? All a part of growing up, I guess.

So life is going to change quite dramatically soon for me. I'm a little frightened, but I'm also eager to move on to this part of my life. Part of me kind of wishes that I were moving into Dordt right now, setting up my room with my roommates, and getting ready to start classes tomorrow. But I guess there's always grad school. Who am I kidding--I'll never be finished with school.

Love you all.
