Song of the week...

It's so hard to say goodbye...

You know, not to say that SoCal ever has "bad" weather, but it figures that some of the best would just start to come the week before I go back to school in, you guessed it, Rexburg, Idaho. Funny I find myself wishing to stay, when just a month ago I was feeling like time was passing at a glacial pace! But then that's how it always is, yes? Life never goes the way you want it to, nor the way you expect it to. The only thing I can do is go with it, wherever it decides to take me, and love it. Try to love every moment, and learn from those that are just too difficult to love. Trying to do anything else just gets too discouraging. Besides, there are good things about going back to school that do balance out the bad.

1. Make fun all you want, I am so excited to do my own grocery shopping again. : ) There's something so exciting about going to Broulim's, picking and choosing my own menu for the next few weeks, and purchasing it all on my own. (If you are worried about my shopping interests, don't fret for too long. I'm sure my love for grocery shopping will fade once the money being spent is my own.)

2. The social aspect. "What?! Sara isn't social. Tha-That's ridiculous! Last I heard she doesn't even have any friends."

3. School. Oh my goodness...I never thought I'd see the day... I am actually excited to start learning some new academic novelties! 

4. Late night dance parties. Give me an ipod, some open space - good to go. (Hey...give me a break. It's Rexburg, alright?)

5. New apartment. Girl's dormitories?? - Good riddance. 

6. Rexburg temple right up the hill! What else do you need?? I mean, honestly??

So, it's true - I am slightly excited to go back to school again. And thinking about it, I know it's what I need right now. Even though I will be missing my Bethany : ( ...Richarson, that is. I was very unaware how much I would be deprived of in Rexburg without my lovely, beautiful, and utterly fantastic roommate! The truth? - I'm heartbroken. Who knew you could create such a friendship in such a short amount of time? But alas, as I've said before, life goes on. And if all goes according to plan (crossing my fingers) our paths will cross again this coming fall. Until then, it's on to my second semester up at BYU-I! It'll be a crazy last week here in Simi Valley. Hopefully one to remember. : )
