sigh no more

Here come several bullet points updating my life!

  • Graduation is in 8 days. I've been using the following metaphor to describe my feeling about it. I'm very excited about graduating and not going to school anymore. However, I feel like for the past 5 years of my life, I've been mentored and carried along by the waves. And now, they waves are crashing to shore and retreating back to the ocean, while I am left of the beach to survive and avoid being eaten by seagulls.

  • I've been really into Mumford & Sons lately after watching their live performances from Coachella last weekend. Every single of one their songs is amazing. You'll find one of my favorites here: http://lessofmemoreofyou.tumblr.com/post/4721915421/love-that-will-not-betray-you-dismay-or-enslave

  • Student teaching is over. So I'm a much more pleasant person to be around.

  • Summer is coming. Which means camp is coming. Which means I am a WAY more pleasant person to be around.

  • I am currently in the middle of a Good Friday HSM marathon. I'm a happy person.

  • My mom informed me today that there's a good chance she and my dad will be moving in the next 3-5 years, maybe sooner. Apparently my grandpa isn't doing well so we're not sure how long he'll be around, and my grandma will want to move somewhere smaller so my parents are thinking of buying their relatively new house in Goshen. It's so weird to me that my parents won't live in Shipshewana forever. I will miss this town. And what's even harder for me to deal with is the fact that they might not be at Shore forever. There are so many people there who love me and who have supported me my whole life, and it's really hard to imagine not going home to visit Shore. I guess we never know what the future will bring.

Happy Easter!
