after today...

"I promise I shall never give up,
and that I'll die yelling and laughing."
-Kerouac

i laughed
like
a lot
today

that was nice < 3

im getting used to people
and talking to them
and
taking joy in them
like i remember i used to

im remembering why it was so exciting
to talk to someone
get to know them
make them laugh
sit with them
or to laugh
for way too late,
and way too much
at dumb things with them

i hope i get to do that with you more this year too =]

im excited to keep meeting new people

i want to pray
for my freshmen girls already

i feel incredibly blessed with my 'team' already
cuz it really does feel like a team to be with
gabe, wendi, jill, and matt
and already we're constantly
rooting for each other
and already supporting each other
in hard times

i feel like ive gotten closer
to eunice and jeanine
and learned to rely
on other people more
and trust them
with my insecurities

and im really happy to have learned more about
communities of grace
that im able to recognize
and appreciate now
more so
what a community of grace
i really do
already
have

i cant wait for more dumb jokes < 3
