Almost There

Well school starts in just one week! While I am excited to start back and be with my friends once again, I am a little worried. This is my final year of being a college student. I always thought that my last year of high school would be a huge change, and it was, but college is a whole different story. After this year I will have a job to go to everyday. I will have bills to pay, a house to clean, and meals to cook. Grading papers will take up my time and I will spend countless hours trying to figure out ways to make my students excited about reading. While I can't wait for some of this, I can also wait a while for it. There will be no more lazy Saturdays with my friends just watching movies and only going out of the room when the cafeteria is open. No more midnight trips to McDonalds to get Sweet Tea. No more spending hours that we should be studying, watching YouTube videos, and so many other things that we do! It is inevitable that this is going to happen but it doesn't seem like this is the third year that Lora and I have settled into "our home." I guess all this came about as I am getting ready to go down to Rio to help with Orientation and packing up some of my stuff. In just a year we will not only not be living with each other but we will be 2 1/2 hours apart. Kinda crazy if you ask me! Wish I could go to Never Never Land and never grow up, at least for a little bit anyways!
