Rush of Emotions

This entry might not be coherent and may contain a lot of random information and emotions. But that's how I feel about life right now.

1. A couple days ago, I received word that my grade school bus driver, George, had died. Even though I hadn't seen this man in many, many years, the words hit me like a falling anvil. This was the jolly old man that forgot me on my first day of Kindergarten because I was standing on my porch, rather than the side of the street. This is the man who used to buy me Christmas ornaments because I was undoubtedly his favorite! He got me to and from school safely, every day for almost 9 years of my childhood. For months, Facebook messages had been circling around my grade school friends about George's ill health. It was asked of us to send cards, letters, and pictures because he was home-bound with nothing to do. Did I ever do this? Regretfully, no. I just never found the time to sit down and write them. I thought of many things I would tell him: where I went to college, my time in Australia, send a few pictures, etc. Like I said, I hadn't seen him in years and I'm pretty certain the last time I did I was still in high school. But now, I will never get the chance. Don't be like me and regret not saying things to people. Take each day like the last and say what you need to say.

2. WHEN THE HECK DID IT BECOME THE END OF OCTOBER?! Since this is I-Week for all the new Kappa Deltas, I have been having many "OMG! I'M A SENIOR!" days. Honestly, I am ECSTATIC to be a senior and to almost be done with college. (If you don't know this about me, you don't know me very well.) I can't wait to start a job, live by myself with Marco, not have "homework", etc. But seriously, why is it all ending so quickly? Before I know it, us seniors will be celebrating KD Christmas with a trip to the 21 and older establishments before finals week. It seems like only yesterday Amber and I were sitting at last year's commenting on how we would get to be the seniors next year! Time is flying...

3. Stresssssssss. Need I say more? Whoever told you senior year would be easy and fun, well they lied. It's one thing after another and I barely have time for myself anymore. Although, I did spend last Saturday night on the floor of my bedroom, with a bottle of wine, and four good movies. It was superb!

4. I miss my Australian family. I've only been able to see two people, Abbey and Al, since being back. Cait, Courtney, and I have talked about a reunion numerous times but I fear we are all too busy. I just miss those people so much. Oh, and maybe a few that I left in Australia too...
