A Wise Man Once Said...

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."

I'm not entirely sure who said that because I just googled quotes and that's what popped up and I can't say that I don't like it. It's totally true. Wow I really wish I could write eloquently. I feel like this blog would be more amazing that way but in any case at this very moment you are getting my exact half asleep thoughts. Go you. Speaking of half asleep thoughts driving around Ukiah half alive really wasn't one of my best ideas, then again neither was taking a nap at 6 in the evening. So yeah sorry about the tangent well no, not really because I myself am a walking tangent but whatever. On to the story. CHARGE!!! whoo. Rotary.Yes.Concentrating. Back to the quote.

This time last year I would have never expected my life to take this sort of turn. Yes, I've always wanted to be an exchange student but I guess I never realized all the amazing people who would come with it. This weekend was the last weekend I would see most of my fellow 5130 Outbounds for a year. We all met in January and really haven't spend that much time together as a group (maybe like 15 days since January?) and its like totally crazy because in those 15 ish days I've found my second family so to speak. They are people who like the quote above said, have left their mark on my life and changed it for the better. When I signed up for this I really had no idea how the months leading up to my exchange would change me. I can only imagine how this next year will flip my world. I've met so many people in the past 7 months who have made my life so incredibly amazing I can't seem to find words to describe it.

I leave in a month. Wow, I really hope I get my ticket soon/ I leave before Nikki goes off to college. Can you believe it's already August? Where does time go?

I want to fly.
