Here I am
It's the end of semester and I feel.....ambivolent about how im feeling. Im happy to be done yet, unsure about a lot of other things. Nothing too serious though.
Over all, life is good. Im 22 now, and I suppose its a good thing to be growing up, although i do miss 21 already only a week after my b-day. It was a good year and a definite year of personal growth.
Linz sent me a text yesterday after I told her I was finished my last exam, she wrote "What a great feeling! Im proud of you. Your first semester at UBC complete. A lot fo people couldnt have done that." What an awesome Sis.
As much as that last stratement she wrote isnt entirely true, because after all there are thousands of students finishing up the semester with me, in a way it was very encouraging. It made me remember when I flew out to Vancouver over a year ago to visit Sam. While we were here we came to the university campus just to observe it's beauty, and I remember thinking how great it would be to study here, but knew I didnt have the smarts....well, obviously I was wrong.
I managed to work hard over the summer and paid my tuition, my rent, and for a car. When I step back and look at my situation, I have a lot to be happy for and a lot to be proud of. I am a blessed 22 year old.
Paps is coming out next week and I am pumped for it. I feel a sub-counscious obligation to make him fall in love with this city the way I have. I hope to accomplish that.
Practicum is great, the kids love me and that's a great feeling. I can tell they do because im like a friend to them, not a teacher, a counselor or principal. Im an equal, and in a lot of ways that can be a bad thing for me as a professional, but If anything, i think its a good thing and a great place to start with them.
Saturday im running the sea wall around. Ive run half of it before but i think i can do it completely. Normally at the gym I cant run that distance easily, but when im surrounded by such beautifull smells and scenery, i stop thinking about my legs and my breathing and I just embrace the entirety of it all.
Anyway, ive got too much to say and too little time to write it all.
Till next time...
-D
P.S.-Did I mention how unbelievably excited I am to go home and see everyone!! And by everyone I basically mean Corey, aman, mom, Lindz, JENNY!, Bronson, Colin, Hanson,...and of course my favorite girl of them all Abby!
