“Followed your breadcrumbs, they led to the Sea”
Tonight, all I want to do is rant and rave about happy things and sad things and life and stuff for some reason, but I’ll spare you too much of that and quickly talk about my day. It started out sort of hard because I had to wake after not that much sleep (in like a week). Waking up wasn’t super fun, but British Music was fun as always. We talked about the music industry, which was cool, but we also listened to some GOOD music (ie Johnny Cash, Amos Lee, Simon & Garfunkel, Ingrid Michaelson) SOOOOOO GOOD. After that class and a quick trip to Starbucks, I worked on my British History presentation a little bit. I didn’t feel as prepared as I would’ve liked to, but that’s OK. After working for awhile, it was time for British History. A bunch of us gave presentations. I felt like mine was pretty horrible, like I didn’t express my interest in it well to the people in the class, but I’m moving on. I just lose confidence really fast when in front of people. Also, I lose track of myself in front of people — as in I can’t remember anything I said or what I did with my hands or anything….
After that class, Sonya and I rushed to Kings Cross (stopping for dinner at Subway) for our FINAL CONCERT IN LONDON. We went to this super tiny venue to see Jenny Owen Youngs. It was SO fun. There were 3 openers (most of which were pretty great) and Jenny was great of course. At one point, I realized that this stressful week is over. We made it! These are the moments when I love that time passes. Hard time end. Anyways, that concert was SO fun. I’m going to miss concerts in London with Sonya, but we will OF COURSE continue this tradition in LA. It’s going to be an epic life.
Now I am looking SO forward to sleeping. I can’t wait to sleep late and wake up and study. Its interesting that studying seems easy compared to this past week. It’s over. I’m soaking in every single one of these moments that happen this coming week. I don’t understand how I got here. I was just a freshman, freaking out about the school year ending, or about to leave for London and terrified of leaving my friends and family, or leaving London in December and sad to say goodbye. Its unbelievable how fast time passes. I like life though, the sad parts and hard parts and happy parts and the normal parts. That’s life.
Also, I just realized today that Easter is on Sunday. I wish I had been thinking about what Easter REALLY means instead of sitting in the library, hunched over a computer, getting carpal tunnel but now I can think about it. I can’t believe it. Today, someone I follow on Twitter posted this and I LOVED it so much, that I’m going to post it for you. I think it sums up what following Jesus calls us to.
“There were those who conspired for all that was bad on this day; let’s decide to conspire together today for what is good” –Bob Goff
I’m thinking tonight about what horrible things my heart is capable of thinking and doing, but also the CRAZY INCREDIBLE things God is capable of doing in my dark heart.
I love you all sooooooo much. I’m praying for you. Goodnight buds.
