hey.
I FINISHED. i wish i'd been able to continue writing consistently during the school year, but the truth is that i was completely overwhelmed. i have a new respect for everyone who has ever gone back to school after being out for a while. young, old, single, married, kids, pets, rich, poor, whatever. it's a lot of work.
a lot happened during the year too. we were down an income briefly, we lost power for several days during the tornadoes, we ate frozen pizza about four days a week every week, and our house has a humidity level of a tropical conservatory on a regular basis (only partly due to the plethora of plants, thank you very much.) we also learned, and are continuing to learn, how to work together as a team to lead a happy and healthy life together while often feeling completely weighed down by stress and worry. the important thing i've taken out of it is that even though it's been an extremely difficult year, i can still confidently say that i'm making the right decisions. i'm so happy to be in school learning about something that i love, and i'm so happy to have andrew as my partner.
there's been a lot of cool things going on, which i will elaborate on in some upcoming posts. in a journey with lots of obstacles, there have been some notable high points. the best being that i have completed my "freshman" year, finishing with all A's both semesters. i told my mom that i don't think i even made that many A's in my entire four years at carolina! it feels good.
i've got the rest of this week off from school until the summer session starts next monday, may 23rd. that means baking, cooking, playing with plants in the backyard, cheesy novels, and gossip girl. excellent.
