Last day of May

Guaranteed this will be my last post of the month. Why? Because there's only one hour of May left. That's right, it's 11pm and in just one hour it will be June 1st, the start of a new month. A new coloured pen for my journal, a new scent of body wash for my showers, and a new year of my life starting in just seven days! Yes, my 19th birthday is one week from today. Can you believe it? Unfortunately we couldn't get a group booked off for that day because we requested it too late, but Meagan and I have the 9th off anyway so we're planning a birthday celebration that day.

The last month has been long in some ways but short in others, incredible and unbelievable, memorable but at the same time, so much happened that I can't remember individual days without the help of my journal. Every day goes by so fast that the month has flown by, yet so much has happened in these four weeks that it feels like I've lived here forever. And I still have a hard time believing that I'm really here, doing what I'm doing.

Yet on the other hand, I'm already a third of the way done! I need to find some way to hold on to the present, despite how fast it slips away, because I know I'll be on the plane home crying by the time I realize two more months have gone by.

As for photos, a lot of my time has been spent with friends so one person takes photos and we're supposed to share them on facebook, so unfortunately I don't have many pictures. I'm also really tired and posting pictures takes a long time. I will post one though, for Corbin's benefit:Star Wars Weekends! Yay! Unfortunately most of the stage shows got cancelled that day because of 2 hours of solid pouring rain, so I saw nothing but one indoor show about Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an animated show.

I'm sorry folks but I'm very tired and I have to work long and hard (well maybe not hard, I'm a spare) tomorrow so I really can't write anymore tonight. You'll have to wait until June for more updates from me (hardy har har!). Happy Memorial Day to all and to all a good night!
