So, I always thought it was annoying when someone created a blog, then they would never update it. Well, 3 weeks later, and here I am, one of those people! I thought I would blog a lot more, but I have not been on the computer much since graduation! So, I will try to get better at it, but no guarantees :)
Since graduation I have been unpacking, organizing, beach tripping, ballet recital dancing, not working, shopping, and sleeping in late. I have pretty much moved everything out of my apartment at school, and I can't believe all of the stuff I have. I have so much stuff and so little room to put it at home! I need a bigger room, closet, everything! I also had my dance recital at Harrisonburg High School the Saturday before last. Recital went great, and I will miss the girls there that I have danced with for the past year and 1/2! I love performing, and I realize how much I miss it every time I get on stage. I always find myself wanting to do it again once it's over. I have found an adult jazz, ballet, and tap class here in Roanoke that starts in the fall and I hope I can get into those and that they will be challenging! Camp doesn't start until June 14th, so I have had 5 weeks off before it starts. I love sleeping in to whenever I feel like it, and I pretty much have no obligations during the day! woo hoo for summer and being graduated!
Friday before last, I went with Dad to paint my bathroom and bedroom at school from my pretty purple and teal walls to boring white. (thank you Jess for your amazing help as well!) It was a weird feeling being back in the apartment this time. My room is almost completely empty and with the walls painted white, it just didn't feel like my room anymore. As I layed in bed Friday night, my feelings turned to sadness. I was just thinking how different life changes right after graduation, and how its going to continue to change. I was thinking of how I will probably never see some of the people I hung out with on a regular basis again. I was thinking that all the amazing people I've become friends with will someday just be my "college friends" because we grow apart with distance and time. I was thinking of all the good memories that were made in our apartment and how I'm going to miss all the little moments that made the funniest memories. I was thinking just how different it is getting ready to be. A lot of people ask me if it feels any different being graduated, and the truth is yes, yes it does. It does not feel like the rest of the summers when I know I'll be back in the fall, it definitely feels different and I'm having a hard time accepting it! But I guess that is life, and the show must go on.
Well, that is it for now!
Thanks for reading!
