Thank goodness! I've been waiting allll semester for this.. the end. This has been by far thee most brutal semester of my life, school wise, coupled with emotional pain and spiritual darkness dumped on top.
I look forward to rest. I look forward to going back to my parents house where I will receive hugs every day and I will wake up to the smell of the wood stove warming the house. We'll put aside the stresses of the future and the pains of the past and we'll tell our funny stories and spend hours playing round after round of Nerts and drink pot after pot of coffee. We'll make cookies and read books and spend hours cleaning mom's kitchen, only to mess it up again within 3 hours and have to clean it up all over again. We'll spend Sunday afternoons falling asleep to Planet Earth movies whilst we all pile all over the couch and fight over the 3 blankets that we keep in the living room for such times as naps.
We'll stay up til 2am watching Sherlock or Dr. Who and no matter what time we lay our heads on the pillow, we'll actually sleep because we don't have ten million thoughts about our uncertain futures spinning through our minds keeping us awake. We'll make eachother coffee and bring it to them in bed and encourage them to wake up since we can't wait to spend another day together. We'll eat scones and drink tea and read Calvin and Hobbes comic books...even though we've read them all at least 5 times. We'll play Age of Empires (3 at a time) and make eggnog from scratch. It will be SO wonderful.
Until then... I have a marathon of finals. Monday..tuesday..wednesday..thursday..friday. But everyday is one step closer. Praise the Lord!
