I love Norman!

Not having a computer is weird... you feel blocked from communication and updates and all of that... oh how I pity the days before computers. I love computers. And I love my phone for having internet access on it, so I don't feel quite as lost.

So last week was kind of weird for me - two struggles: no schedule vs. summer fun, and leaving vs. going.

I thrive on having a schedule - it gives me a sense of purpose when I wake up in the morning (and I'm a morning person), so this past week, every morning I seemed to have this sadness because I didn't anything "to do" (I had a lot to do, but none of it was put in a schedule). On the other hand, I love summer fun and freedom! What do I want to do today? Oh, whatever I want - awesome. And I don't have to work or go to school so I can just hang out with friends and explore or craft! or whatever! So its a weird thing... both loving and hating not having a schedule.

Packing up my life has been hard and weird. Deciding what to take, keep, sell, and give away... its really strange examining your belongings in that way. And I don't know where I'll be after two years from now, and I feel like that's throwing me off too - I don't want to live a temporary life if its actually semi-permanent. And I feel like at this point in my life I want some stability - a place to call home. I really made a home here in Norman, and really created a family. Its only natural that part of me wants to keep that for ...maybe not forever, but for longer! haha BUT I am SO excited to move to New York and start my life there! I just know that it'll be an amazing experience and a great time in my life, and I'm so excited to start the next phase of my life. Its still like a dream to me... and I can't wait for it to be real!

and then... THE BEST LAST WEEKEND IN NORMAN EVER! haha
I had soo much fun with Kirsten and Callie and Brigitte this weekend! We just explored Norman - doing some of our favorite things - and did crafts! and hung out and had fun! It was pretty much perfect! I'm glad that I really got to enjoy this last weekend with such awesome friends! I'm going to miss just hanging out in Norman and having so much fun doing such simple things!

I would add pictures to this blog, but as I said, no computer... and Kirsten already added a bunch to hers (video included)! haha.

I love my life in Norman - and all those who are important to me here. I like what others have been optimistically writing about leaving... its not that bad, because really, we'll always have each other. I can't wait for reunions!

This week: pack up, and last hoorahs! and move.
Next week: Jury duty and adventure in COLORADO!
