So last thursday one of my first friends left for school- Meaning that the leaving has begun! It is weird! Honestly, 6 months ago I thought that it would never happen....like something was going to stop it fro happening. 3 months ago It still felt forever away and my summer seemed so long. Somehow my summer FLEW by and here I am with just 2 weeks left until I make that drive to Idaho! Its SOOOO bizarre!
People keep asking my if I have started to pack yet, and I keep telling them I havnt. Besides the fact that I dont have any luggage yet and wont till this weekend, I have no clue where to start! Other then my clothes and the couple bags in my closet full of stuff we have already bought me like sheets and towels and such, I have no clue what I will need. I just stare at my room and wonder what to take with me.
My head is crazy like a jungle. I was joking around with a few people
last week how my head is so crazy and not many people could live in it, and they mentioned that they couldnt live in my head- which made me laugh. My head is insane- I think if I stepped out of it or let anyone else in they would die. thats a funny thought. =] Not death- but the randomness that occurs in my thoughts.
Yesterday I went out with the missionaries and we visited this man who had ordered a movie and a Book of Mormon, and it was interesting. Sister Coulson mentioned that I got to be with them when such interesting things happen- and that sure is true! I have met very interesting people when I have gone out with them, like a Russian Princess! =]
But anyways....this guy that we talked to yesterday was in so much pain emotionally...it re
allly was a sad place to be, to see him cry and to know how much we could help him- but as sad as it was, and as much as he wanted to pain to leave, I think he felt comfortable with the pain and that will be the problem. When we left the sisters were mentioning how sad it was for him, but oddly- or sadly enough for me- being around him made me feel better about myself. I know that may seem horrible to say- but I guess it is realizing how your problems look to someone else and seeing how bad it could be and being grateful for what I know and can do.
My last few weeks here have been interesting! I have begun to spend as much time with my friends as I can, like going on a picnic and playing Apples to Apples!
Life is so
sweet during the summer. =]
