The past 8 months have seriously been crazy! And now it's coming to a peak, then will crash after April 16th. Yup, the end of my sophmore year at college is almost over. Finals start April 14th, and I'm going to be done with them by the 16th. Am I scared? Heck Yes! There's so many things I wanted to do, but I didn't get done. It is a little frustrating, but, oh well.
First day of stress before finals: April 10th- I've got my speaking interview with Dr. Khaled, from the Qasid Institute, where I will be studying this fall (did I mention that it's in Amman, Jordan?) He will give a recommendation to Dil (the program director), as to which classes I should take. Pretty much, I'm trying not to think about it that much, since I'll just freak myself out. Every other major speaking interview I've had, I've frozen up on, my mind has gone completely blank, and I'm nervous that this time won't be any different.
Second day of Stress: April 14th, I'm going to take one of my finals, and turn in another one. I know I shouldn't be worried, but I am.
Peak of Stress: April 16th- My two hardest finals are on the same day, with an hour in between them. My Modern Middle East History final is from 7-10am, then Arabic 202 is from 11-2, but, after that I'll be done with finals. I'll just be packing, working, and taking stuff to a storage unit. April 21st is when I'm going back to Kennewick. I haven't lived there in almost 2 years. It is kind of surreal to think about moving back there.
Living out here on my own has been great. I love it at school, I love my friends here, I even love my classes (though I may curse them at times), but, it's time to go home. It's time to go back to K-Town and spend time with my family before I leave on my biggest and greatest adventure yet.....Amman, Jordan. When I come back, things are going to be different, I'm going to be different, so I'm going to enjoy the time I have left (until I leave) with my family.
For now, I'm finishing finals, then, I'll be saying 'goodbye' for at least 8 months to some of my best friends, and then, I'll on the road, heading home.
