Less than a month left of school and it hasn't yet hit that nothing will be the same. I know it won't be but I guess I won't notice till it happens. I love my friends, family, and life. I can't wait to head off to a new culture and experience as much laughter and life as I do here.
School is gradually becoming more and more stressful as we reach finals, but it doesn't feel like as big of a deal as I look at the big picture; changing myself completely in a new culture with new people. I'm about to go through the most stressful time of my life and I'm not even receiving a grade. Knowing this, school is coming easier and I have been able to balance school work, my job, and spending time with my friends to reach a place where before I leave, everything is in order.
I'm proud of myself and the person I am becoming, I am becoming more independent, I am becoming happier in my own skin and with the person I am.
