well, the month of april is half-way over. it's almost my 3-month cc anniversary.
graduation: 21 days.
time is running out:
to hire a 3rd summer housing assistant
to plan summer housing assistant training
to write my last paper
to work with my first ra staff
to figure out how to "close" this portion of my life
to accomplish everything i need to and want to
life goes by so quickly. and even though there are only 3 weeks until i'm officially done and only 24 days until i start training my summer staff, i keep thinking about this summer (despite all the craziness) and all of the things i want to read and make and do. because i can.
there's a letter in my box of memories that's just waiting for me to open it in 21 days. everything i told myself the first week of school doesn't apply anymore. that me, was wondering which grad school i'd choose and what assistantship i'd get. the funny thing is, that me knew deep inside that i'd still be here. i was just too afraid to admit it-- too afraid to jinx it. staying in cedar city one more year wasn't something i thought i'd be looking forward to.
luckily, sometimes we are beautifully wrong.
I just want to say...that as I read your blog I can't help but feel proud of you and the woman that you have become. You amaze me... I remember that first week of school, and begging you not to go home. I knew that you could love Cedar City as much as I did...and apparently even more!! You aren't my little Katie anymore, you are all grown up, and conquering the world!! Congrats, I am SO SO SO proud of you! Keep up the good work!
