These few days have been a whirlwind of crazy laughs, excitement, nostalgic memories, sad partings and goodbyes for the summer. It's kinda weird and different from previous summers, because for one, i'm not going home...until july. and two, all my favorite seniors are leaving. sigh. why do people always have to come and go. and it's been so crazy that i didn't even get to say bye to some people :( and i might never see them again!! but it's been a good year. i really love all my friends and i'll miss them so so so much over the summer and fall. this time it's extra hard to say good bye since i won't be at Taylor for the fall. i'll be in LA... somewhere new, and exciting, and also terrifyingly scary.
So i've been spending quality time with everyone for the past few days.. especially at the international Souphouse.. cuz there won't be an off-campus house next year where we can all hang out at till the wee hours of the morning :( so we made noodles and curry and rice on thursday, i treated people to ivanhoe's ice cream with my ridiculous $50 voucher, played playstation games, packed and cleaned my room and got fined $2 for scratches.... i seriously have too much stuff. 12 freaking boxes of stuff plus 2 suitcases and 1 carry on! and, by the way, both my suitcases were 51.5 pounds! only 1.5 pounds overweight! thank GOD. already have to pay ridiculous $40 for two bags. don't need to pay anymore for overweight bags.
Graduation ceremony on saturday was fun... actually not really. we kinda got bored and tired and hot since it was in the gym! so lame. and it lasted for 3 hours. too much talking, man. but it was so cool to see all my friends walk on stage and receive their degrees. so proud of them :) can't believe that's gonna be me next year! i think i might just cry my eyes out when i graduate, knowing i won't get to see my friends as often anymore, if ever. kinda makes you think about the future. and how scary it is because it's so uncertain. and how i have to grow up and be an adult next year and live on my own.
Anw, we had a reception for all the international graduates... took tons of pictures.. had one last cookout at the souphouse.. and then tearful goodbyes! haha. at least for me and cartoon. she cried. and of course, then i cried too. totally bawling my eyes out. haha. i don't really know why. well, i guess i do. it's sad to leave the seniors and my friends next semester. but awwww everyone was so sweet trying to comfort me :)
i really will miss everyone. alot.
Also. i'm sitting in the Indy airport now.. for the last time until January. kinda really nervous and freaking out about going to NYC alone. i told andrew i was doing an internship in NYC, and he knew i was going to LA for fall semester, and i told him i was freaking out about all the unknowns. and he was just really supportive and one thing he said was he really admired my courage to step way out of my comfort zone go alone to the big cities to do internships. and that was just really encouraging cuz i didn't think of myself as brave as well. i was pretty much scared to death. still am. don't know how to get to NYU, where i'll be living, don't know what to do when i'm there... what if i don't make any friends?? what if my work isn't good enough and they fire me or something?? how safe is NYC??? don't know any of these answers. will just have to trust that God will be my provider and guide and strength.
So please pray for protection and safety and wisdom and favor.
