| i leave tomorrow! ahh! i am: 1.excited! mm, new places, new work, brett troyer! 2.ugh-ified. apparently the construction foreman there is all set to make me work only in the kitchen. seriously. 3.sad...i wish i could see more of my family, zachary, adn friends. poo. abby and i have entirely too much fun together. it's incredible how much i laugh til i pee/become delirious when we do stuff. 4. ready to get brown and have tragic tanlines. nuff said. the only problem with all these things is that i have to PACK. yuk. packing is a tragedy. i started a little bit, but this meant sorting everything into piles all over the floor so that now everything is all spread out EVERYwhere and looks worse than before. oh well. go boat. | | |
| i am independent because it allows me to believe that i can be self-sustained, need no one, and require no love or approval from others. that's false. because i am not and need all of those things. friendship, love, and overcoming difficulty is what allows people to keep going. why keep on when you gave only an inch and i gave a mile? because these three remain: faith, hope, and love. and the greatest of these is love. | | |
| wow. so one final down, two more to go. and one grad speech to write. yuk.
so apparently my dad has a virus that has settled into his joints which
is making it really hard for him to walk/move, let alone run and be
little-kid-ish, two of his favorite things of all time. he sounds so
frustrated every time i talk to him...this has lasted for 6 months now
and it's just getting worse. i just can't wait to get home so i can
clean/cook/help him out. the poor guy.
mmm..zach and i are going camping in virginia-mountain-foresty places
sometime before i leave for MDS this summer. i can't wait. hiking,
fishing, swimming, roasting marshmallows=happiness.

| sooo this one time, i'm the speaker for commencement. what the poo. who in their right mind would choose me to speak in public, specifically a public that is LARGE and full of grandparents and unforgiving peers?! i think they picked me because they really want someone to trip on stage. i can make that happen. awwww man. this is going to be a crazy last three weeks. i think i'm not going to see anyone until commencement. hopefully they don't forget i'm here. | | |
| so i think i maybe have figured out what i want to do with my life....maybe. i'm considering majoring in social work next year at EMU and then going to work at a clinic someplace in the area of Family Planning, where i can combine lots of the things i like to do/am good at. family planning is all about prevention of unwanted pregnancy or pregnancy that isn't really at the right time through education and stuff like that. there are four phases: 1 education 2 brief exams/prevention/safe sex/etc 3 pregnancy program to guide women through a healthy pregnancy and then what to do after the baby's born and 4 is abortion, which is a required option but employees can opt not to be involved in this phase, which of course i would choose not to be.
i get to teach people and help people and be involved with kids and be nurse-like all wrapped into one, without the same day-after-day routine.
i think it's me. i think. and then i can do mds in the summer.
naw...tomorrow is the sixth month anniversary for zach and i. he's amazing. i love him.
i miss having a cat. i need a snuggler to sit on my lap and purr at me and love me when i'm stressed out or just want a friend. mmm...kitties.
i miss lancaster friends man. i haven't seen you girls in years and years. and i'm only home for like a month total again this summer. gross. i graduate may 6 and then leave for mds on may 27 and come back the beginning of august. yukky. someday i'll see you all. i love you and miss you mucho grande, don't even worry.
