6 days until Spring Break.
28 days until Graduation.
31 days until I spend my last 10 days in Grass Valley.
42 days until I leave for 3 weeks in the Ukraine.
61 days until I land in Mississippi for the next 2 years.
All of these major life changes are becoming far too quantifiable. All of my worlds are beginning to collide right now, and I feel like I have too many things on my plate. I don't know how to balance currently being a student, a friend, a family member, a mission team co-leader, and a Community Advisor while I try to prepare for everything that is to come after graduation. In 31 days, I will be kicked out of this cozy APU bubble and into the more frightening "adult" world.
Only one year ago, I was just starting to get to know my Adams staff. And now I only have one more official meeting with my LAC staff (which is made up of the 8 most amazing women who have been just what I needed this year). I have been having one-on-one meetings with them every single week since the middle of september, and now I only have 2 times left with each of them. There is only one more Adams event and only 2 more staff meetings. The women in this building have been so near and dear to my heart, and I don't know how to process the fact that our time is coming to an end and so many new and exciting and frightening things are about to begin.
My head is beginning to fill with numbers, but I am learning to wait. As of now, my Ukraine trip and becoming a math teacher in Mississippi are still in the future. The numbers are inevitable. They will come whether I want them to or not. These present moments, however, are fleeting. I am going to try with all my might to hold onto them.
With hopes of learning how to make this blog more interesting,
Emily
