The Semester Ending is Always BitterSweet
Two more days, six more classes, four exams, and three projects. This is all that stands between me and my summer. I am so ready for Summer to finally be here. The end of the semester is always a weird feeling. I am completely over going to class and doing homework but I love some of my professors and hate that this could be the last class I have with them. I am ready to be home and spend a little time with my family but I am nowhere near ready to be away from my friends for the entire summer. Oh summer, I cannot wait for all the crazy adventures that it will bring. I just have a little more school work and a few exams then I end my semester off right with a zoo trip with my co-lil and Class Day with all my best friends. Class day is the day before graduationing that honors the seniros. All the sophomores get up crazy early and go pick ivy. Then we at breakfast together and start to build our epicly long daisy chain. We get a break in the afternoon where we all go get in our new white dresses and shoes and get ready for the evening. The actual event is the sophomores bringing in our daisy chain and singing for the seniors. We then lay the daisies down in an “11” since our graduationing big sis class is the class of 2011. It is one of those you really just need to experience it traditions that sounds crazy but means a lot to the people here at Meredith. I am leaving right after Class Day. While I am home, I get to celebrate Mother’s Day and my niece’s 10th birthday before I head out for Leadershape! Leadershape is a week long leadership retreat where you find out who you are as a leader. Leadershape blends directly into Rockbridge which is the Intervarsity end of the year camp. Rockbridge is an amazingly relaxing week with friends where I also get my training for being next year’s Large Group coordinator. When I get home from Rockbridge, Ihave three days before I fly out with my best friend to Guatemala. We will be in Guatemala for a month working with a team of missionaries. I am very excited about this! I have been to Guatemala three summers before and I love going. I love the culture and the relaxed atmosphere and the people. I always feel like I am leaving my family behind when I leave to come back home. I get back to the States in late June and start in on preparing for next year’s Intervarsity. I am helping lead a group of youth group students to Fort Caswell for a week, hopefully going to Warped Tour, and my roommate might come spend a week with me in my home town! Then it’s back to school for JUNIOR YEAR!!! Soooo excited. So this is my last blog for the 2010-2011 school year but I will be back in September for 2011-2012. I hope to see you around campus next year!
