Re(live)

I use this title because not only is it our yearbook theme this year but also it is what I have done the past couple of weeks.

As I am beginning to write all of my speeches for the various events, gathering presents for all of the people who are important and mean something to me, building up my excitement, and, of course, coordinating my attire for everything, I am slowly reliving all of my memories from high school. Some good, and some not so great. Some that make me sad & teary-eyed. Some that make me grin from ear to ear. Yes, changing some things would have made my time in high school much easier. But the truth is, my life, my time in high school, and much more and farther beyond that, has made me the strong, independent, capable, level-headed, optimistic, (so many more adjectives, insert here) woman I am today. I am super excited to take on the next few weeks and, soon, to turn the page on this chapter and into the next.

Inspiration has came from everywhere lately. My latest and biggest inspiration was found listening to the radio while driving to school. Immediately, I clicked voice record on my phone, and I began recording myself saying my future speech. It is all just falling into place.

Quick event recap!

1. The mailman brought my laptop for college today! I have picked out my bedding! And bought some craft supplies for our wall decor!

2. I got my new check card and UNC checks in the Mail!

3. I proudly voted for the first time.

4. I won the Rotary Scholarship after having an interview! And just this morning went to the scholarship breakfast where I was honored as well as five other people. Another $1,000 closer!

5. I also won another scholarship worth $1,500!!! I am not sure which scholarship it is exactly. This is all off of my counselor's information to me. Of course, she won't tell me too many details.

6. I sent out all of my graduation invitations!! I am now working on a couple games for the cookout for family and adult friends. Including a "how well do you know the graduate" survey, signing book & well wishes, and guess how much.... is in the jar. I may even do center pieces for the tables... But then again, I may be getting carried away with my excitement.

7. I got my yearbook today and my family surprised me with a little note. SO sweet.

8. Soccer has ended... Unfortunately. But I have still spent a night, here & there, with the girls each week. I am continuing to run 3 to 4 mi a day. Staying in shape.

9. I am done with all of my exams for the collegeboard and high school!!! *cheer here*

Everything has happened so quickly. And time has truly flown by. Bittersweet. But exciting also. I have so many pictures to add. I will be going back and updating this and previous posts with photos. I hope you all have a safe and amazing weekend.
