• I'm done, I'm done! Woa...I'm done. GULP.

  Wow, I'm done with college. I can't even believe it. I am so incredibly blessed with how my life has been led by God. I never would have thought I was going to spend time in L.A. before graduating, except for God's perfect planning. It wasn't always great but it was definitely worth it.

  A part of me is shocked it's over - not only L.A. but all of it. I can't believe that in a week I'll be back at home in that world. It really amazes me how you can have one life here and a completely different one in a different place. It's crazy but also cool. I'm sad to be leaving these people and saying goodbye -- I probably won't see them again if I'm honest with myself.

  L.A. was good -- I look at it in 3 different parts.

  1. Program
  Without the program, I wouldn't have ever come out here - it was a great way to integrate us into LA while still being protected and having time to explore and such. If we just moved out here, the time would be very little for that and we'd be lacking soo much money that we wouldn't be able to do fun things. I'm glad if nothing else that I did this program for that.

  The program itself was kind of a joke -- not very organized, not well communicated, crappily graded and so on -- but that seemed to be such a small part of the overall experience, which I know sounds kind of weird.

  2. Internship
  You know this was actually really good until the lat week - I was ready to be done by then. I really did get a lot of good material for my portfolio and was able to work doing a lot of different things in the film industry. I may not have met a bunch of big names but I got a lot of hands on experience doing what I love and that is what matters to me.

  3. The people
  Wow, some people I've already deleted from facebook -- I don't care to keep in touch with them now or ever but put a good face on because I should. Others, well, I made a couple of good friendships - I really am going to miss some people and it will be weird to think I will never see them again or probably never. Hmm, the people made it worth it. I wasn't here networking, I was here building relationships -- that's what I like to do and if networking comes out of it, then that's a bonus.

  Sigh, I want to write more but my mind is so occupied on Lisa getting here -- finally, after so long apart, I know...I know, it hasn't been that long but it feels like it has been FOREVER!! I look forward to a week with my sister - I feel blessed to have this chance to end college like this - it's going to be wonderful!

  I'm done...I'm done, I'm done!! It's weird to be done - if i think about it too much, I get a little overwhelmed with what that actually means. Real Job. Real Life. Real Adult. GULP.

  For now, I'm going to enjoy a great vacation with my sister and then worry about life...
