Um, hi! I'm not sure there's much of a point to write this because I'm not sure anyone is even going to read this, but hey, why not?
I don't even know where to start. So much has changed. But I'll try to stick to a similar format as my last post.
1. Ravencrest
I have been at Ravencrest for the past eight months. It has been absolutely wonderful. I have learned so, so much, and things that I thought I already knew have been made even more known to me. It's incredible and amazing how God has worked in me throughout these eight months. I simply can't explain it, but I have been changed and I hope to leave Ravencrest as a new person. I want to act on everything I have learned, instead of knowing what I should do and only watching other people do things and wish that I could be like them while not even thinking to leave my comfort zone. That's how I've always been, but this can and must change NOW.
2. Summer
My plans for this summer are to find a job-- possibly two-- and earn money for my necessities, college, and a few other things. I need to make a summer bucket list, and on that list would be scrapbooking, sewing, swimming, drawing, reading, and all that jazz. One definite plan this summer is to go on a cruise to the Bahamas with my darling brother and sister, which is pretty weird since cruises are kinda a luxury, but yay! I honestly don't know how I feel about going on a cruise because it feels like I don't need to do something as extravagant as that, but I guess I better enjoy it!
3. Texas
A year ago at this time, things with the move were crazy. All of the sudden my family was moving to Texas, and I wanted to stay in Colorado because I couldn't leave everything behind. Oh, how the tables have turned. I now believe that my life awaits beyond the borders of Colorado. I love Texas like it's a magical fantasy land, and I'm gonna live there, starting later this summer.
4. College
I'll obviously be attending a college in Texas since I'm moving there. A four-year university like I've always planned on? Surely not a community college! Yes, a community college. See, things have changed. I'll probably be going to Northwest Vista College in San Antonio to study Theatre Design. Why a community college? Well, as far as a major goes, I'm pretty much totally set on the Theatre Arts. But I want to leave time and room for different options, because there are so many different directions I could go in life, and I want to be flexible about God's plan for me. I really don't know what will happen in the next five years, but I'm good with only planning the next few months. And let me just say: HIGH SCHOOLERS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE! COLLEGE COUNSELORS ARE OVERRATED! DON'T STRESS BECAUSE HERE'S A SECRET: COLLEGE ISN'T ALL THAT MATTERS! Yeah. So I'm actually really excited to see where God will lead me (that is, if I let him, which I really want to), especially since I'm much more open about things than I was before. Change is definitely scary, but it's exciting and kinda wonderful! Change is just life. The more change, the more living!
5. Living Situations
Ever since we moved out of our house, I've been living with my Gran. Gran's house is presently home base. But for a majority of the past eight months, I've been living up at Ravencrest with three lovely roommates. And my parents' home in Texas is kind of a temporary/future kind of home... it's complicated. So I kinda have three homes right now. I'll be in a similar situation once I actually move to Texas. My home base will be my parents' house. My part-time home will be with my Aunt and Uncle, who live 15 minutes away from the college campus (so I don't have to commute an hour and a half both ways every day). And Gran's house will return to being "Gran's house", but a lot of my belongings will probably stay with her instead of coming with me to Texas. I have quite a lot of thinks I don't need to bring with me.
6. Love Life
Just kidding, I still don't have a love life. (Hey, I'm okay with that. All in God's timing, y'all)
