well I am packing up my computer

because I am off for china tomorrow, and I am leaving from school, not home. How crazy is that? I am very excited. yes. ok. well. goodbye. I will have pictures when I return..

So sophomore year just ended...

and I have just come to realize that I am now halfway done with my time here at VU. which frightens and saddens me immensely. I also am excited though, as I know that there are great things in store for me. this year has been, simply put, amazing. I did not know that I could experience the type of love that I have both received and given. there are so many things I could say, but I will not... I had a really rough patch in the beginning of summer but I dealt with it. Then I went to help with Kidsweek in Londonderry Northern Ireland, which was amazing! there was an awesome prayer service, and I was incredibly changed, I cannot explain it to you, but some of you already know the story, and it is beyond words. I went through a transition that summer, and even into the school year, changing who I was. mostly with the help of Sean, my roommate, whom is the best friend, and brother God could give me. He truly is a blessing. also on my board of supporters was paige, who is seriously like a sister to me. I miss her already...

anyways, the school year progressed, and I grew closer and closer to my friends, and through their example, God. I love my friends. Christmas was good, and the new year was too. 

so anyways, this year is coming to a close. actually it already has... and i just found out a month ago that I am going to China!! with the Vanguard Singers and Band on their China tour. I am so excited. we leave monday night. so soon... aaah...

and today was graduation, so all of my senior friends are leaving... aaah.... ok well its late. more to come.
