Another Year has Come and Gone.

As I was sitting in church today I started thinking about all the changes that will happen in less than a month and I almost started hyperventilating! How silly is that? I mean, I’ve done this like five times and yet I still get nervous! The idea of new roommates (I may know almost all of them… or I may know none of them!), new classes (hard classes that will wrap up my major), new callings (that one REALLY got me going; imagining all the callings that I could possibly get), traveling out there (what if something goes wrong? What if I can’t bring all of my luggage? What if we crash and I die before I get my degree? What if? What if?).

And then the idea of leaving.. Leaving my family. Missing birthdays. Missing holidays. Leaving my Primary kids. One of the girls today was really bothered when I told her that I was leaving in three weeks. She was like “Why can’t you just go to school here? Why do you have to go to school anyway?” I didn’t really know how to answer her. ..I’ll be sad to go. But when I told her that this was the last time I would be leaving she cheered up a bit. “Oh! Then you can teach my class forever!”

Mostly I’m really looking forward to going back out to school. Two more semesters! ...Of course it WILL be super cold and I’ll STILL be working early morning and my classes are ALL upper level. But I’m still excited. Despite how it may sound. I’m still not sure when slash how I’m leaving. That’s still up in the air. But I know how I’m getting home! …But I have no idea what I’m going to do or where I’m going to live when I get done with everything… I haven’t gotten that far yet...
