oops.
life is weird. it's funny what happens when you actively give over control. currently my brain is attempting to ignore the changes that are starting in my heart. i plan to deal with it all as soon as next tuesday is over. i'll be surprised if i make it that long. sorry if this is vague, but i'm not even sure what is going on most of the time these days. if you need to know, we'll have coffee, face-to-face is way better than computer-to-computer. instead i'm living by my date book. counting days, finals, exams, tests, minutes, hours until my life is flipped upside down again in this crazy game of life.
leaving santa cruz is bittersweet. i've been going on and on about
being excited for going home, masking the fact that i have to leave all
the amazing people and things i've grown to love in this little hippie
town. no fair! it's made me realize that one has to make the most of
the time that you have in a place. even if, especially if, you are
there for the rest of your life. i've no regrets over coming down south
for a season or two. in fact, i encourage getting out of your comfort
zone as much as possible. it's amazing what can and will happen.
frank is serenading me as i write responses for my class tomorrow. last
one. friday i have a big ass paper due (yay!), two finals and then
wednesday (13th) i'm hopping a plane to seattle to meet mom and drive
back to abby. excited? yes! i can't wait to be back in the homeland.
i've never really appreciated being canadian until this year. it's made
me unique down here, something that i complained about a lot, but loved
all the same. i can't wait to see the farm, see the new additions to
the family and how much they have grown, gossip with the girls at
starbucks, adventure around with valley with you all, go to the lake,
get out in a potato field after the rain and see some good bugs and bad
bugs, drive down zero avenue during sunset, bbq with dad, walk with
britty, do random abby stuff that is harped on all the time, see the
grandma's, eat at timmy ho's. oh so many things!
all the same, the random things i've come to love in santa cruz will be missed. the bus rides, in-n-out runs, sitting in tanya's apartment, knitting with the ladies, dining hall pizza, 99 bottles, trader joes food, my walk home that i've come to adore, the view of creation, the strawberry patch!, the lab weirdly enough, random deer sightings, making cupcakes by the dozen, bible study "fights", all of these amazing people that have changed my life so much. so much more than i can say here.
so if you catch me going on about how excited i am to leave, i'm really covering for the fact that i can barely stand being away from this place and these people. just don't call me on it until i have time to cry ok? ok.
