| So I haven't posted in a really long time... as in, three weeks or so. It feels weird. But I don't really miss it. I've had this blog since fall of my senior year of high school. Three years is a long stinkin' time. Let me explain: When I started this thing, Mary Beth, Laura and I were in the planning stages of our London trip, I was in three AP classes (including Calc-- what was I thinking?), had just handed in my application for North Park, and had to roll out of bed for class every morning to start school at 7:30am. Fast forward to today: I got up for class at 8:45 today (and this is early), went to class, chapel, another class, and baked cupcakes. None of this "School from 7:30 am - 2:30pm" business. Instead of applying to North Park, I am one of the supervisors of those people who call prospective students like the 18-year-old edition of me. And I laugh at how difficult it was for me and Mary Beth and Laura to get permission from our parents to spend a week abroad by ourselves, even with the compromise of promising up and down that we would STAY in London, and not go globe-trotting by taking the chunnel to Paris or anything. Now I've spent a whole semester globetrotting, a semester that is slowly becoming more and more ancient history. I don't know what the point of me writing this is, except to say that it's amazing what three years can do. Seriously. A lot of things have stayed the same in my life, but when I think about all that's changed... and the people in my life who have come and gone, it's amazing. And it makes me kind of wonder if I'll be writing a similar entry in another three years. Happy 3rd Birthday, Stina's Xanga  |
