Reminiscing

I was just rereading some of my previous blog posts on here and at http://hilary-in-aus.blogspot.com/ and they make me laugh. And wonder why I posted that entry or "what was I thinking when I wrote that?!" Emotions are such a funny thing and they affect so much of our daily routines, thoughts and just life in general. My writing is definitely influenced by my emotions and it was fun to go back over and reread it and then interpret my feelings of the situation now.

And I never did do the Lent thing I had said I was going to do. I was so busy in Aussie that I didn't have time! Maybe this coming lent I will do it. I think I am going to give up the E! channel for Lent this year. Then again, I haven't watched it in 6 days (which is a record for me, if you know me) so I might have to think of something else to do.

In 3 months, it will be a year since I boarded a jet plane (or two) and headed to Adelaide, Australia. I had some of the best times of my life while I was there. I met some of the coolest, most hospitable and just amazing people I will ever know in Australia. I wouldn't trade any of the time there for anything else in this world. Those memories will last a lifetime and maybe beyond. Who knows?

I also can't believe how time has just flown and that I'm a senior in college now. Where did all of that time go? I can remember moving all of my stuff into the hallways of Clinton 3 South on freshman moving day, meeting EmilyRA and wondering who my friends were going to be. I remember not wanting to live in Clinton, but rather Centennial or Vollmer. By the end of that year, I was so glad I lived in Clinton rather than anywhere else. I met some of my best friends in that building. And crazy times were always to be had at all hours of the day and night. And now I'm going to graduate in less than a year and have to start the process all over again. Albeit no dorm rooms. All of this reminiscing makes me wish time would slow down sometimes, but then again at times it does feel slow when I'd rather it be fast. It's just a constant ebb and flow that I've learned to live with.

Well, now that I've procrastinated some more, I better get back to my paper and the other endless homework that is waiting for me.

La Paz.
