Welcome to the Real World

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. Christmas break came and went and it was great. Now I'm here at school and have been since the 2nd student teaching. Well, I haven't taught yet but I will next week. This week is their sex ed. Yesterday they went over the levels of a relationship. I even snickered when she got to 'underwear zone'. Anyways, to go on with the blog, this semester is quite different from the rest of my college experience because I'm not on campus. I went to Baldwin last night and then had Exalt and it felt weird to be there. I don't know if I'm ready for that. I don't know if I'm ready for the real world. Next fall I will probably be teaching my own class....wow. College has been my life for the past 4 years and I guess I can't imagine anything else. I'll be 22, graduating, teaching, and living at home. woo-hoo. But ya know, living here by myself for a week has made me ok with living at home next year. As long as I'm not by myself. That's all that matters. I don't think I've ever been so lonely. I guess this is a better way, though, to ease into the 'real world'. I'm at school 7 1/2 hours and then I go home to a house but go to dinner and meetings on campus.

Ya know what, though? Even though I've felt lonely, it's really made me turn to the true Comforter instead of to friends and busying myself. I'm learning to remember first and foremost that no matter how I'm feeling about graduating and leaving, God doesn't stay at the college,...He's coming with me.
