My life in the past couple of weeks has been comparable to a dream. Beautiful weather, changing my "fat kid" tendencies, and just enjoying myself. I'm relishing in this comfortable time because in just a few short weeks, my life will go from easy-going to full-on crazy. Finals. Final projects. 10 page research papers. The life of a double major. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a little. I do...I love being busy and surrounding myself with things I love. That's the craziest part...I am the biggest nerd I know. :)
I wish I had more to write about. More interesting topics to converse about. To my amazement, things keep getting better and better. It's good to be back.
I'm just so excited to start summer. I will be taking the dreaded summer school class from June 2 to July 2. Not too bad.
I thought that that this summer would really suck balls because I didn't think that any of my close friends from O'G would be here. But alas, Courtney, Corbin, Dan, and most everyone else will be in S.F. for the summer! The only thing that sucks is that Danielle will be in Missouri. :( I plan on making at least one trip to Columbia to visit her. Fer sher. :)
Things on the home front are loverly. Justin and I have been having fun in our little home and getting super pumped for Portland. 95 days until complete awesomeness. (!!!) I can hardly contain my excitement. I NEED to get out of here. I love Sioux Falls. I always will. My life is so beautiful here but sometimes you need to leave to gain more. Sometimes I feel like my creativity is stifled here. I'm a writer. A painter. Someone who thrives off of change. I learned long ago that change in inevitable. Instead of being scared, embrace it. Throw yourself into potentially frightening situations. They're often the most beautiful. Hence, most of my life.
I just got done walking with my mother. We talked a lot about my life. Where I'm going and what I'm doing. She's finally accepted that I'm going into the Peace Corps after college. It took her a long time. I understand her hesitation. It's a scary thought to live so far away for 2 and a half years from my family and the ones I love. But it's something that I feel will make me into the person I need to be. I've wanted to do this since I was 14. I didn't go out searching for it; it found me. This chance to give up my needs for others'. To become apart of something bigger than myself. It's a beautiful thing.

Agenda for the week:
Work
Start research paper for Shakespeare (and everything else for that class)
Register for classes
Apply to the Education school
Basically get everything done that I need to, and then some.
But also...write, walk, talk, wine, read, play, paint, kiss, hug, love. Ya know, the most important stuff. :)
What a cute little fire escape/balcony. Mine?
Happy April ♡
