| Current mood: |  pensive |
It's been nearly two months since I've updated.
There have been attempts. But after a month+ hiatus, I wasn't sure where to start or what to include. I figured a time would come. And it seems fitting that I'd do so at nearly 3am some summer night (morning?). It's how I roll.
I suppose a recap is in order.
Graduation weekend at school was good. Seeing my BAT kids, having family there, my small ceremony. It was good. Very good.
Europe was amazing. It's hard to give a synopsis. When people ask how Europe was it's hard to answer. Good, amazing, or awesome don't fully encompass the experience. But they do the job without me going into a long rambling session.
I got to see the town I'm working in next year. It was pretty cool getting oriented there and in Madrid. It'll definitely help me when I arrive in September.
Being without a job this summer is relieving. I have many things I wish to accomplish before heading to Spain. Right now I'm streamlining my life, starting with cleaning out my room. Which cleaning out a closet full of things from the past 10 or so years of my life has lent itself to mixing nostalgia with my thoughts and plannings of the future.
Whenever I finish a journal, I shove it up in the corner of one of the shelves in my closet to join the others. While cleaning it wasn't a surprise that they were there, I knew it would come to a point where I would pull them out and page through them. Today just happened to be that day. It was strange and familiar all at the same time. Revisiting times in my life that seem so long ago. Coming across things I had forgotten. Life is funny.
I'll close with some quotes I lifted. I find it odd to quote myself. Oh well.
"It suck to spend your whole life depressed when you could be having fun" -8th grade
"Well, I've come to realize that having a relationship while I'm trying to figure myself out is not a good combo"-sophomore year, HS
"It's weird when you realize you're growing up. You realize you're moving and changing." -senior year, college
"I feel like I'm waiting in line to move on. Even though it scares the shit out of me, I'm ready for the next step in life. I'm ready to move on." -senior year, college
