I can't believe that today was the last day of classes. It's amazing to me that I'm finishing up with my Junior year and that next year I'll be a Senior and almost to the point of graduation. I have an internship to do in WA that's honestly starting to scare me. I think it has to do with the beginning of change. When I was a freshman, I was excited because I had four years of knowing that I'd be in one place. It's hitting me now that after this summer I have one year left and then I'll probably leave eugene, leave my friends, and start ministering FOR REAL! I have a lot of friends in the senior class this year and to see them starting off into the wild, real world, is hitting me.

I think part of my feelings might stem from the fact that I'm not going to be around familiar faces or areas this summer. Last summer I was able to keep up with the church, and various friends that stayed in Eugene. This year will be much different. At least Steve and Liz are going to be around.

Plus I am starting to think about life after graduation and what to do then. I'm considering a master's though I haven't received any direction on that. I'm also wondering about interning somewhere the year after graduation. There's a lot of possibilities and they are starting to pile up.

There's also the pressure of being single and seeing my friends hooking up. A lot of my conversations, even with other singles, revolve around marriage and dating and all that jazz. It's something that is almost constantly on my mind and I am having difficulties being content in my singleness (to draw from a cliche). I'm happy for my friends and I wish them well, but I'm kinda jealous. Oh well, God knows best.

I'm also feeling the last week stress. Too much to do and very little time.

Today
Finish work at five.
I'm going to the senior's honor banquet tonight

Going to Ryan and Kristine's farewell party tomorrow afternoon,
If I have any energy left, doing a take home final that evening.

Sunday
In the morning I'm going to be staying later than usual after church to be able to say goodbye to everyone. (I love Christ Fellowship! That's another thing that's going to be hard to leave after graduation).

The schedule is for my mother. *grins*

After I get into Madras I have plans:

• build shelves


• redesign this site. I am tired of the colors and I want more room.


• call: Big John, April, Melissa, B's, and several others. I want to talk a lot on the phone

The nice thing about this summer is that I will have a camera and I will be taking pictures! *grins* Anyways... Tata
