Of finishing finals.
oh yeah! I feel so cool. cooler than...cool.
Ok, so my brain is still fried from this week, but man it feel so good to be done! I walked out of the testing center and man, it was a glorious feeling! Funny story: so I'm sitting in my seat, taking my LAST final and I hear this guy yell "I'M DONE FOREVER!" and we all started clapping and slowly it died and we all resumed our tests...feeling a little disheartened that, while this was maybe this was our last test of the year, some lucky person was done with finals forever. hmmm...seriously, that day seems like it will never come. But I still like college, so I guess finals come with that. so I'll keep 'em. for now :)
ANYWAY- so I'm starting to think about like packing and cleaning and check outs and good byes and such. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Seriously- I think about where I was a year ago...and I'm not even the same person I was. And I don't even know exactly how I've changed, I just know I have.
Weird. but super exciting too.
Yesterday was the last day in my ward. This ward has seriously become my family. So many incredible people, and I was lucky enough to meet them all! Now we are all going our separate ways, and I am so sad inside...but also so happy! Happy for the memories and the laughs and late night chats and cries and movie nights and desserts and pranks and more food and laughing! Seriously- this year has been incredible!
On our ward facebook page, a girl shared this scripture, and it seriously made me so happy inside:
"And that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy"
-Doctrine and Covenants 130:2
How beautiful is that? The friendships we made this year will not end in this life! Many people had wonderful thoughts to share: An incredible women in my ward that I got to work very closely with shared some thoughts with all of us about how finals are so misnamed. They are not terminal! They are just the close of one chapter to allow us to move to the next. Another girl shared the difference of 'goodbye' and 'farewell'. Goodbye is a simply close and ending at parting. Farewell is to wish someone well no matter where life will take them. Another lady shared with me that those who serve most will hurt the most at parting and she counseled me to always hurt when I part. I love that so much because it makes me happy to hurt- happy to know that I have given so much to help and love these people. I'm grateful for those opportunities to serve each one of them and I know that is why I love them all so much!
I have learned so much for these incredible people. I'm grateful for the time I've been blessed to associate so closely with them.
So, I just wanted to write this all down. I'm sure there will be more posts about this week soon, but for now, that's all I got...I'm gonna go watch a movie or two or three...now that I don't have school.
