So I'm pretty sure I now know what purgatory would feel like, if it actually existed. These last few weeks have been pretty umm not stressful, but just well hard to describe. I want to graduate so that I can be free from classes and homework, things I have despised my entire life, but at the same time I don't want to graduate because I will definetly miss my best friends and all the amazing people that I have met this year, and in the past 4 years. I also can't wait for my family to come because I havent seen 3/5 of them since Boxing Day, and a lot has happenend since then, but then again I feel like I could wait forever because them coming means me leaving Dordt. I also am struggling with leaving Sioux Center, believe it or not, because lots of my good friends are staying here for another year, so I would like to be with them, but I also want to go out and explore the rest of the world besides this little villa. There are a lot of amazing places out there, and I want to experience them, but that means that I have to start with new relationships all over again. Which is even scarier. Not that I dont like new relationships, am I just not very good at them.
GIFT on Sunday also encouraged that whole schpeel. Seniors went up to the front, and people who wanted to say goodbye or share a last moment with us were encouraged to come up. I sat up there on the stage, really hoping some certain people would come up, but they didnt. Another friend from PLIA did, which was really awesome, but I was saddenend by another person who was standing near to me(physically) didnt even acknowledge I was there.
On another note, this past weekend was INSANE. SAC had S^3, and it basically fell apart the day before. The company we signed a contract with to supply the inflatables screwed up hardcore and left us hanging, so we had to basically replan the entire game situation that night. It was very stressful. Then I had to drive to Omaha to pick up all the stuff at 5 AM on saturday morning, be at the event all day, and then drive the stuff back in a 26 foot Uhaul on Sunday morning. Needless to say, I am still recovering, but at least the event went well and people liked it(for the most part). There was also some troubles with people on SAC, but I won't get into that.
Well thats enough of a novel for now,
Mark

stop feeling stressed. It's the easiest thing to do. Really, stress doesn't exist. Just joking. I sympathize entirely. You must go to the Palasades (in response to your question on my blog) .... it's an absolutely incredible place. They're only about an hour from here in Minnesota.... who woulda thought?? I can't give good directions but ask around.
