Hello Senioritis....

14 days until Spring Break
78 day until Graduation
119 days until I move from Jackson
136 days until I leave for EUROPE!
171 days until I am home for good.
WoW! WhOa! Ahh! YES!! no...
Somedays it seems like it is crawling by and others I feel like the days are minutes. Today it is going by so slow. I would love to be able to be in two places at once. Part of me is dying to be home and part of me is really enjoying these last few months of Jackson. I am going to miss my Jackson friends so much but right now I am longing for Cross Plains. I miss my family. I miss my sweet boyfriend. I miss my church and I miss the people. I miss having meals cooked by someone other than me or Mcdonalds. I even miss our dogs... I dont even like dogs. I want to be able to walk outside barefoot without stepping on glass. I am sick of locking the door. Oh and let me tell you this... I am SO sick of these stupid storms. I know that it really isn't bad here, I actually like a lot of things about it. But It is starting to hit me that I am not going to be home this summer. This will be my first summer where I am really away. I love summer at home. I will miss it. Don't get me wrong I am SO excited about going to Europe, I mean hello Once in a Lifetime Opportunity! The whole staying in Jackson for the month of June thing while my friends move away and I take my last few classes and my family has summer without me... NOOOO!!! Is it possible to dread a whole month? I just have to think of it like this... 119 days. That really isn't that long. I have made it 3 years and 7 months, I can make it 119 days. I am so lucky to have such a great home to miss, an amazing family to go home too, a boyfriend who always greets me with open arms no matter how long I stay away, and a place I love so much. But I am also lucky to be here now... To have the opportunity to learn, to make such wonderful friends, to be constantly encouraged to be a better stronger person and Christian, a roommate who never ceases to make me laugh, an apartment that is a quiet home and that has given me time to learn so much about myself and has taught me to appreciate the noiseyness of a big family, a church that has seriously changed my life, the chance to learn to cook for myself so that someday I can cook for my family, and a city that shows me living close to fast food/Walmart is pretty overrated. I love it here, I love it there... Definitely a blessing and a curse. Life is funny like that.
