España

I knew one day, I would treasure the fact that I kept blog posts every single day while I was in Spain. And that day has already come.

While messing around with the new timeline layout on Facebook, I started looking through old pictures that had been hidden for years. And, of course, I ended up gravitating toward pictures of Spain when it came time to choose the banner picture, or whatever you call it.

I still can't sum up the experience in words, but I'm just so thankful that it happened. It really was one of the best times of my life, and I can't wait to return. I'm just worried I won't be able to. But someday, surely.

After attending Sean's graduations this weekend, I got a sneak-peak into what an emotional wreck I will be at my graduation(s). The chancellor and speakers kept talking about all the traditions at Mizzou, all the different things that we've done and experienced on campus, and I couldn't help but already start to feel a big whole in my heart that's going to be left when I leave campus.

In all honesty, I didn't even want to go to Mizzou. It was too close to home, and I'd already more than experienced campus life when I stayed in dorms for volleyball camps. At least that's what I thought.

No, I haven't been a partier, but I've experienced some pretty awesome things at Mizzou. Countless football, volleyball, soccer, and basketball games, late nights spent studying, hundreds of Subway sandwiches from Mizzou Market, Homecoming parades, four Spanish classes with my favorite professor, all-nighters with Kristen and Sean, starting a career, Shakespeare's pizza at least once a week, the Magic Tree, the helmet car, decorating my dorm room, surviving campus on crutches, swimming in the grotto, my favorite summer job at Ellis Library and on and on.

It's been an incredible four years, and I'm really going to miss it.

But for now, I've got to kick my ass into high gear because I've got two online classes and 13 hours of on-campus classes that need to be completed.

I wonder why job search skills 101 isn't a class that's offered in college? Seems like it would be one of the most useful...
