In the past six months there have been so many things that have happened in life that I would have never would have happened the way they did or the time in my life that they did.
The summer of 2013 was the first summer that I would really say that I had a summer vacation. As scary as it seemed at the start it all turn out better than I could have ever dreamed. It started with getting my first semester of college all ready to go and what class where. But shortly after that came the time to buckle down and work and put my money away for the semester that I knew I would not be working much. And after what seemed like for ever but was only about a month and a half it was time for my first real vacation.
This was one that I thought would never happen and when I found out it was going to I figured it was going to be a once in a life time chance. To my surprise 16 hours on a plane is not as fun as it seems in the movies. But this was one that I knew was going to be well worth it. Because I knew that at the other airport was going to be the person that I thought I would never get the chance to meet.
It was then 8 months that we had been talking and we had become very close just from that but getting the chance to meet him was a dream come true. In the events that followed were that which not even in a million years did I think would ever happen. But the rest of this story is for another day.
After returning home from India I knew there was not much time left before my first semester of college would begin. In all honesty I knew that I only had 5 days before it started and it was the only reason I came back when I did. The feeling that I had that first day was not much different than that from my first day of high school. Other than the fact that I knew that this is my last chance to get it all right because after this real life starts.
I had never thought of myself as a good student or as one that could get good grades on my own but I proved myself an so many others that told me that I could not do it wrong! At the end of my first semester I finished with a 3.0 over all GPA and many wonderful comments from my professors that they hope to see me in one of their other classes before my time is up here. One thing that I still am trying to figure out is where all the time went. When did those 15 weeks pass and how did I seem to miss it. The one thing that I did not miss over winter break was all the time spent in the library. That is one thing that no matter what I would have never thought I would see myself doing but I learned that the time there studying really did pay off and that a little extra effort really does make a difference.
Over break I have been working like a crazy person and wish I would have been able to make more time for the people that I do not get to see very often any more. But I am thankful for the time that I did get to spend with them when I did.
But in one week I start my second semester an get to finish my first year. And on the way there I hope to find more time to share my stories from along the way.
And if there is one thing that I had learned at all in these last six months it is that even when those you love seem far away and you may feel lost they will always be there to help find your way back to where you were going.
~Even if everyone is telling you that you are doing it wrong or are making a mistake in your life know that it is a mistake in their life but not always one in yours.... You have to just first to see if you are going to sink or float and to everybody's surprise and maybe even your own when you think you are going to sink that might just be the time you float.~
