Big news

I've decided not to graduate.

Huh? you say.

It's true. After four years of college, I've decided that there are things I want to do which I couldn't do because of other things. So, this summer I'm taking a Latin refresher course, and in the fall I'm taking two Greek classes to finish a minor, and getting Honors done, since I need to fill 12 hours anyway. I came up with this all by myself, actually, without any parental input or advice. Very different for me - making decisions all by myself, trying to see outside the box and move in a godly fashion. This is different. Needless to say, I'm a little shocked at myself, but I feel really good about this decision.

Life, the Universe, and Everything

You know how one sadness or frustration can completely color a whole day, sometimes even a whole week? I don't think that one joy has ever done that for me before. Maybe I'm too used to being sad or frustrated that I can stay in that groove; I'm out of practice for joy. Or peace. Well, maybe for fruit in general.

But, that aside, graduation is next week. Wow, that seems so huge to me. I'm in the inbetween now - no more classes, only three finals and a paper. I'm so excited, but at the same time very anxious and sad. I've been dealing with anxiety really poorly this semester, and especially in the past couple of weeks as I have discovered that I am bad with money. Money and parents, parents and money. Both great things that seem impossible for me to figure out. Oh well.

Good luck to finals takers!
