Life update

So now that I'm done with finals and officially on summer break (YAY!), I thought I would write a little update with what's been going on the past several weeks in my life seeing as I'm kind of horrible at keeping in touch with people. Also, I'm procrastinating on cleaning/packing up my room because that means that I have to accept the fact that RA is pretty much over. This will not be a post about RA, that will come later. I've been trying to work on a reflection, but get too sad every time I try... so that will probably come next week when I'm at the airport flying back home. Anyways. Here's a little update on what's going on.

1. I am done with my junior year, meaning that I am now a senior in college (assuming I don't fail all my classes. Which shouldn't happen. I hope.)
2. The next few days are full of checking people out of their rooms, way too many goodbyes, and packing up my own room.
3. Though everyone (with the exception of those who have permission to stay late) will be gone Friday, I will be here until Wednesday for end of the year RA duties and festivities.
4. Which means I will fly home Wednesday afternoon. As in exactly a week from now, I'll be getting into Bellingham.
5. I will be home until May 30th (so a little over 2 weeks) and then I fly back to Wheaton.
6. On May 31st, I will be driving up to HoneyRock, Wheaton's camp in the north woods of Wisconsin to be a camp counselor for the remainder of the summer.
7. Once SLS (the counseling program) is done, I'll be returning to Wheaton and staying there until the end of the semester. Which means that I won't be home again until December.

So this means that this will be my first summer away from home. I'll get to see my family for a few days in July for Ben's wedding, but it's in Denver so I won't be returning home. It feels a little weird to think that I'll go over 6 months away from home, but I'm excited. I'm excited to counsel little kids. I'm excited to see how I grow over the summer, especially being away from the familiarity of home. There's a lot of things I'm going to miss over this summer, but I'm trying to give these things up to God and allowing him to work through me as he wants this summer.

Anyways. I should probably start packing now. My room is kind of chaotic. Washington friends, please let me know if you're around and want to hang out while I'm home!
