Dios Mio! Es el fin del semestre!

I FINISHED! OMG! I just got home from my very last final of the semester! I cannot even believe that I am about to begin my last semester as a student at Point Loma. The experience is almost surreal.

I have been thinking a lot lately about how much I am going to miss this place. As a matter of fact, yesterday I was walking down caf lane (a main path through the center of campus). I was the only person on the path and I tried to go through some of my favorite memories of things that have happened there. I remember accidentally running into my first college crush there. Freshmen year, my roommate and I got restless and went skateboarding down the path at like one in the morning. I've met with professors there for smoothies and to chat. I asked a random stranger on a blind date for a friend (that took some guts... let me tell you. And no, it was not a dare). I've danced on the path pretending to be in a musical. I've stared at all of the bricks with the names of alumni etched into their surfaces. I've run, full sprint, down caf lane to get to classes on time before (by the way, bring a reliable alarm clock to school).

Point Loma has definitely become my home. And I have no idea where my home will be next. I've looked at jobs in Orange County, San Francisco, Costa Rica. I'm secretly hoping I will be able to land a position in San Diego so I can stay here for a little while longer-- at least while I am figuring out what is right for my life next. For right now, I still have next semester. And I still have Christmas :) Merry Christmas by the way. I hope you are taking in all of the memories of high school and all of the uncertainties of the upcoming years. Just remember not to worry. I have come to believe that life is very much about pondering where you are and where you are going. So good luck! I wish you the best!
