Time.

Wow where has time gone? Its going to be 2010 in less than 3 weeks. What does the future hold? How will this next year be different from the past year? Will it be better? I hope so.

But where has the time gone? In less than 2 weeks I'll be 20. Out of the teen years and into "adulthood" if we should call it that. Before I know it I'll be in the College of Education, then I'll be in my own classroom with a group of unrulely students. How will learning change from then to now? Who know.

Lately I have been flooded with so many memories I couldn't think straight. And with the stress of finals and finishing well the memories were doing nothing but interfering. Overwhelmed with emotion I finally get to sit back and look at those memories and remember my past.

Last year at this time I was running a business for a weekend, to some extent. Life was flying by. Dealing with customers who did not see where I was coming from and why I was put in the situation. But its a life lesson. With every day comes a life lesson, and a great memory. Well maybe not every day but I can think of a few from the past week.

Taking my last final of the 09 Fall semester today at my own desk I was relieved to be looking at my pictures of the people that care and love me. I was not looking at a white board. I was not listening to other students ask questions. I was listening to John Mayer (his new song, Who Says, is controversial but catchy). Life and school had somewhat slowed down in those moments. My best friends, past teachers, and memories from the summer were all around me. Which allowed me to think about how lucky I am to have all these people.

And of course then I was thinking about the CHRISTmas season that is upon us. Family. Friends. Memories. Life can not get any better at this point. Well I would like my headache to go away, but other than that its all good.

It's my life. The world is watching me. It's an open door. And I'm taking it. Where this next door leads I'm not sure, but with love and support I will make a meaningful one.
