Six and Counting

Announcing: the monthly post by Lydia (as promised)

I was considering waiting until school had started to write this, but then I remembered that I will be taking two lab classes, a language, an english class, and a seminar class next semester.  It’s all about cushion.

In anticipation of the start of school, there are so many things that have to be squared away, most of which I should be doing right now.  One of the more difficult things is goodbyes.  I am afraid that I will not be able to say it to all that I should, so I’ll say it here.

You all are amazing (you know who you are).  I’m sorry if I don’t call you this week.  In my absent-minded state, I will no doubt procrastinate on things like good-byes, putting them off until the only thing I can do is send an electronic message.  I’ll try not to do this this week, but as I’ve said before, I never dreamed that I would meet such wonderful people or make as many dear friends as I did in Pullman, Washington.  Thank you.

Well, I feel like I should also say something about the weekend camping excursion that I went on with several of my friends.  What an adventure!  I’ve never been camping without “adults” before, and this was a lot of fun.  Good for me too, in the sense that I didn’t have anything to do with the organization part of it.  Hate to say it, but I am a bit of a control freak, and I didn’t worry at all about any of the arrangements-big step for me.  Katherine suggested that we make camping a yearly thing-I agree!

Soon to come:  Lydia’s first experiences at Hope College
