The Calm Before the Storm

As you can tell, I have not been good about blogging in the past week. So let's catch up. I completed all of my exams, moved out, and did a good chunk of work on YHM. The exams were just fine, and moving out took about 2 to 3 days. Then, I came home. I have spent the week here, preparing for Israel and trying to relax. However, I have not fully been able to relax this week. I have had this feeling in the back of my mind that I am not really home. I have been focusing so much on school work and this summer for the past few weeks that I overlooked my week at home. I guess I really felt that my real summer starts on Holy Lands. I might have done this to protect myself from the stress of adjusting. I didn't want to adjust from being at school to living at home to doing Holy Lands. I am good at adjusting but that would be a bit much. In addition to this, I have felt bored this past week. Not that I haven't enjoyed my time with my family. I have. But the transition from TONS of stuff to do to wide-open days is a tough one.

But this week is now past me. I leave for Wheaton tomorrow evening. Spend a few days with the family, and then a week worth of classes. Then Israel. I'm excited. Seeing the Holy Lands is going to be great. Studying and understanding what I am looking at is going to be even better. Doing this with old friends while meeting new friends! THE BEST! 6 weeks of awesome. So stoked. Be praying for me. It'll be a great summer. But I am going to miss the family, and the girlfriend. I want to focus on my time there, but also I do not want to neglect the people dearest to me. I'll post more info in terms of what's going on when. And I will be posting throughout the summer on what I am learning. Stay Classy.
