Cause I want it all or nothing at all...
I'll be the first to admit it...life has been good to me latley! This week has been one of the best I've had in a long time, and it's supposdly midterms week! I suppose it was because I started off my week with doing a nursing home visit and meeting Warren McGee. An elder man at a local nursing home that Joanne and I had the blessing of meeting. It's just so weird that you can go into someone's room and sit and talk about mashed potatoes and they'll enjoy every minute of the conversation. I came back from that experience feeling fullfilled, and then we returned again Wednesday to visit again. He made sure to tell us that he appreciated us coming and talking with him. At the end of the night I went to give him a hug because he was going to be going back home on that Friday which means I would have never see him again. He gave both Joanne and I a kiss on the cheek. It's just amazing how someone can walk into your life, make such an impact and then walk right back out within a matter of three days. I think that Joanne and I both were touched by his love for his wife and his personality in general. We're going to continue doing the nursing home visits on Wednesday nights.
Tuesday was a great day because all my speech classes were cancelled, so all I had was bio and the lecture ended up only lasting 10 minutes because of technical difficulties. Not to mention during that time I got a call from Jason. I found it weird because I hadn't heard from him since he left for FL at the end of August. He was in town for a few hours. I was like a little kid on a sugar high! I walked around campus with this huge smile on my face that I could not get off! When I heard his voice in the stairwell, I got even more excited. Granted I only got to see him for 20 minutes, it made my day complete. Not to mention on my way to the McGraw computer lab, it started to snow. Just flurries, but enough that I had tears in my eyes. Mike added to my day of happiness by doing that. There were a few other things that added my day that made me happy...got to see a few people that I haven't seen in awhile and it made me realize some things.
I made cupcakes yesterday and it brought cheer to a bunch of people's days. I just went around handing out cupcakes. I love baking and it makes me feel less stressed. Just sitting in that kitchen brought back so many memories, and it made me smile.
It looks like next year, spring semester I will be studying abroad in Switzerland. I am scared out of my mind, but at the same time am SO excited. I'm looking into being a RA for first semester - so keep your fingers crossed for me!
I have a lot to be thankful for and I thank God everyday for blessing me with everything in my life. My friends are really amazing and I miss all my old friends (Tara, Jess, Liz - you three are missed like CRAZY). "I no doubt deserve my enemies, but I don't believe I deserve my friends."
It is off to put laundry away and clean up my side of the room because everything is everywhere.
