Andy and some of his buds

Hopefully Andy is going to come visit me in June so we can discuss where our relationship is going. Life is interesting…

I got a 91 on my exit exam for those of you who don’t read my xanga

Time for some tired ramblings since I haven’t updated in a while.

I have my English exit exam on Wednesday. Scary…I wasn’t nervous about it before today, but suddenly while helping my roomie Laura study for hers, I starting being worried about mine. I’m actually much less concerned with my English than my Bible. I’m not too confident that I’ll pass the Bible one. I’m horrible at chapter content.

So now is the season of mixed feelings for me. I am so excited to be done at Northland, but it is so weird to think that I’ll probably never see so many of these people ever again. Even my close friends here I probably won’t see for who knows how long. Part of me just really wants to disconnect already to make things easier. All but 2 of my highschool friends have gotten married and/or moved away. I still have hope though. I still stay in pretty good contact with my freshman roommate Jackie (who I just saw over Spring Break. Fun times…). There are some friends that you can just always pick up where you left off with no awkwardness. I still keep in pretty good touch with my roommates from sophomore year as well. I look forward to hanging on to a few more friends like that. It is weird to think that although I’m not graduating, this phase of my life is finally ending. 5 1/2 years to get my undergrad degree, can’t wait to see how I screw up grad school. I’m not looking forward to student teaching, but it is a necessary evil. I don’t think that I am all that good at teaching. I love English and I know my stuff like no one else, but I just don’t really know if teaching is for me. I’m excited about the possibility of going over to China for a year, but I have many other things to deal with between then and now. I’m meeting with a rep during our conference next week to talk about support and stuff like that. Only a few more weeks til I lose my medical insurance. Time to start trusting God big time. The time has come for me to be a big girl. Yeah I should probably learn to drive sometime soon….

My bro. Tim comes up this weekend. He is going to Northland’s Arsenic and Old Lace play with me and Bethany on Saturday. That should be fun times. I’m a little nervous about the missions conference performance of my creative writing class’s play. I haven’t even found out who was cast. Should be interesting…
