More quick and real thoughts.

Almost bed time. Last final went today. Latin American Lit. It went well. Then I checked residents out all day. I said goodbye to lots of guys that I appreciate, I made sure we took pictures after each check out. I feel bad when residents lose pieces of their beds and I have to fine them $300…Sigh. Very very tired. It’s nice to knwo that Jesus is with me. Althought it’s not saying that Jesus makes everything 3x more fun. He’s not a tame Lion. He’s not a spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Oh merry Poppins. What a nutcase.

My boys and I talked about He-man today. I miss that show. So good when I was a kid. Now not so much. but great conversation nonetheless.

Now it’s bed time.

Thought I’d share real quick.

Almost bedtime. Final tomorrow at 10AM. Then I’ll be done. I did fine on my history of Latin America Final.

My couch is gone now. My room is like a big messy empty space….or rather it IS a big messy empty space. It’s been here the whole year, now it’s gone. That’ll be about the same with my boys as tomorrow I start checking them out.

This is a strange process that seems to go faster than I expect. Wishin’ I had more time, but feeling like anymore time would be somewhat bad for me. I need a break.

Maybe the Last post of Junior Year

I am in the office again. For the last time probably, unless I decide to apply for next year which is unlikely. There are going to be some changes that I’m not really super-pumped about.

I have finals this week. I should be studying for one of them right now, but that’s not really happening. I have History of Latin America tomorrow and Latin American Literature on Wednesday. As I draw nearer to the finals I get more and more tense on the inside. I think I’m ready for them. At least, I will be when they come.

I had my last floor meeting last night. I was somewhat on edge because it was filled with all sorts of ugly details about fines and checking people out. I wouldn’t say it was the most fun floor meeting ever. People are signed up to check out. It’s sad because now I know when I’ll see them on the floor for the last time. It’s no longer a vague thought…it’s reality now. It’s scheduled.

As I get nearer to the end I’m finding myself ready to be done with everything. I want to be done with class, I want to be done with homework and tests, and I also (despite how much of a joy it has been) want to be done with being a Peer Advisor. I have loved every moment of my time with the guys. Even the times that I didn’t like now have a nice “Remember when?” feeling. My staff is amazing. I don’t want a different one. That being said…I am still ready to be done. I really am impressed by the people who are doing it again. It’s a very good sort of experience, but it takes so much from you. I think if I did it again I might not be able to give as much as I did this year. Sigh.

I hung out with my SMC on Saturday. Did you know there’s a great park around the point at Alki Beach? Well if you didn’t…now you do. we found it. It was super fun. I’m gonna miss living on the same floor as that boy.

Not too much to say other than that. Good luck on finals. Carry on.
