Life is so wonderful.
(You can’t jinx anything if you’re not superstitious.)
Besides my major exams and assignments, I can’t complain. I feel like I have a firm hold on everything. I don’t even know who I would thank, maybe myself, my friends, everyone? !
As I hugged Derek goodbye at the College Park metro station, I felt so much more closer…a couple independent from that high school definition of ‘couple.’ Yes, we have been going out for a good amount of time, but wow…its’ been awhile if you think about everything in the past, but it still feels like that night back in high school and it makes everything seem just as if it happened today.
We went outside of the high school in which all the winterguards were performing and we climbed up onto the bleachers. And then the bus ride home and the pictures he took. There are just so many memories, just thinking of bleachers sparks up more and more. Looking up at the stars reals in more memories.
Although I’ve had choices before, I feel like I have more say in what’s done…in what I do. The strings that my parents had me on are almost untied. It’s as if I am able to function with my self-created strings where I guide my way, but still the “right way” as they would have liked.
I am really looking forward to the summer, I realize it’s not here just yet, but I love thinking about the summer months. I will be really busy, same as Derek. Again we’ll be in different states, but I’m already excited to visit him =) Depending if I accept a Team Leader Position for a program at Georgetown University for Healthcare and Medicine, I won’t have any free weekends. They program runs for 10 day intervals. I am really excited about this, it isn’t confirmed yet that I have received the position, but I’ve already sent in my application and had my interview which turned out really well. So if I do get the leadership position, I will be working at Georgetown for about 3 different programs (lasting 10 days each) and then the last one I will be in New York! The day that the program ends, I will be leaving for Alaska! For those of you who don’t know, this is a program through the Life Sciences program here at College Park. We’ll be hiking, whale-watching, sea-kayaking, fishing…and of course biology related research which I won’t get into the specifics of. I get two credits for the research and my project. I am really excited about going, it’s going to be awesome …and beautiful. naturally.
So I have a lot to look forward to. Visiting Derek in New York, adventures in Alaska, working at Gerogetown, and probably continuing with my lab internship on campus…I am truly excited. =) I am truly in love. =) Simply put, I am happy. =)
