a month later

i'm in my last year of school. crazy, right? i still feel like i'm in high school sometimes.
about a week after i got back from czech i went to one of my roommate's weddings. it was so encouraging to see real God-centered love.
here are two of my favorite people...rebekah and ariel. ariel was such an encouragement to me last year. she challenged me and loved me. and rebekah and i will just always be pathetically similar.
a little weird thing i learned about myself this summer was just how touchy-feely i am. that sounds weird, i know, but even now i find myself craving hugs from people. if i'm sitting beside someone and they're leaning forward, i really want to scratch their back. physical touch is definitely my love language, but i guess i should back off a little bit! :-)
this semester i'm taking an advanced comp class. it's just about the first time i've had in college to write creatively, and our first assignment, a memoir, is due next week. maybe i'll post whatever it is that i write about, but for right now i've just been typing out streams of consciousness, and i've actually been writing a lot about england. i am so disconnected from england, it hardly feels like that was such a major part of my life anymore. i guess it's not a major part of my life anymore. it's just a part of me that happened.
it's sad thinking of how life goes on. there are some really cool people you meet and then never see again.
