"I'm going to college"

Even though I only have about 2½ – 3 weeks left before it actually happens, it’s still so strange for me to be saying that. To myself and to other people.

In the months leading up to graduation nothing was really sinking in. Things were starting to come to an end for me, like Bright Lights and AWANA, but, like I said, the reality was sinking in.

When graduation happened it was all kind of a surreal blur. It’s not that I don’t remember the day, because I do very well, it’s just that I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that I was graduating.

Then the next week, on the day of my graduation party, I got my acceptance letter and the reality finally started to sink in.

I won’t be a Bright Lights leader anymore.

I won’t be an AWANA leader anymore.

I’m only going to be a part of the worship team for a couple more months (only four more Sundays now)

I will be going for weeks at a time without seeing my family and closest friends.

And there are SO many other things..........................

I’m not even sure if I can explain how I am feeling. It’s all so strange. And then add turning 18 today into the mix and, it’s all a little too much to take in.

Well, breakfast is going to be ready in just a couple minutes, so I had better go.

I will try to post either tomorrow or Sunday about all of the festivities of today and tomorrow.
