25 days! 25 days! 25 days!
til graduation that is! :) i have just 6 more days on campus which includes, 1 group project, 1 test, 1 quiz, and 1 final! its all just down to 1's!! yay!
yesterday i picked up my cap and gown... my tassel said 2008- got that fixed so now its time to go!
go where you ask? beyond may 22 and 23, beyond the celebrations and family visiting, beyond finishing college, beyond all that, I HAVE NO IDEA.
logistically, i have a lease until july 31, so i'll be in austin for the summer. as far as what i'll be doing for a job, currently that looks like waiting for God to show me some direction. i trust the He will. i'm just slightly anxious about timing. megan-dare i use your wet paintbrush/blurry box analogy from high school? :) i feel like everything's on fast forward-days and nights get mixed together and i can't keep them separate. i feel like i'm going to make it all the way through graduation and then just stop, wake up, and realize there's nothing pushing me anymore because i passed it without breathing to realize it happened.
what's amazing about this all is that i am not overwhelmed and consumed by not having a job. i mean, yea, i have my dramatic, stressed-out moments, but they're not everyday. i have peace that it'll work out. that's what i've been praying for the most... peace about everything.
i feel like i don't have any huge goodbyes because i'll be around austin and its just a question of what i'll be doing to pay the bills. i feel like staying in this place i've known for 4 years and changing to push out of the campus-bubble and safety net will be a challenge. but its one i'm eager to see play out. i love this city. i feel like i have purpose and challenge here.

middle school musings
8th grader in my after school club: "miss, you should stop drinking dr. pepper."
me: "why's that?"
girl: "those calories are really starting to add up." (pokes my stomach with her pen)
after work, i went shopping and got ice cream. :)

a hint from hamlet
"doubt thou that the stars are fire;
doubt thou that the sun doth move;
doubt truth to be a liar;
but never doubt that i love."
-shakespeare, hamlet
if you ask me what the best feeling in the world is, i'd say, for me, its having someone say "i love you" and knowing, beyond any doubt, that they mean it. i have been truly blessed to have people show up throughout my life that have loved me very well- beyond any shadow of a doubt, no matter the distance between us, or the time between visits. i can only hope that i have been a friend that has done the same for others. that the people i care about never question if and how much i care.
one of the most important things we're called to do as christians is love... through everything. i hope that i am not a fair weather friend that simply loves when its easy, but that i dig in deep and love through the hurt as well.

counting sheep on my way to sleep
and counting days for that matter...
less than 50 days until graduation- the day i get to walk across a stage as i'm completely done with my formal higher education; the day i "magically" become a grown up and have life figured out (not really buying this one); the day i stand alone as an adult with full adult responsibilities (yikes!); the day that "real life" begins.
it feels so close, yet so stinkin far! i have 2 tests, 2 quizzes, 5 papers, and 1 final that stand in the way and i can not wait to be done with the school part. but the uncertainty about what follows and where its going to happen make me want to put it off til its all figured out. ptl that its not in my control!
