Only a week and a half left

Wow this semester has flown by and I have so many good memories and awesome friends to thank here. I'm still hoping there is a way to stay here but I don't know how. I really can't bear to leave this - my comfort zone. On the other hand I realize that Ithaca is the "real world". Gallaudet is my bubble a place I can call home. I do know for sure I prefer the Deaf world over the hearing world. I doubt I'll date another hearing person again lol but who knows. Sometimes I feel like I've already met my other half but it's still early yet. I've got alot more life to live :) I cant bear to leave him alone and it breaks my heart that I may not see him for a long time. I know he will be fine but I can't help but worry some. No one knows the future but Him. Trying to calm my fears about my future and my career. I'm still not sure if teaching HS English to the Deaf is for me but I definitely want to try. I love what this world has shown me and I think I would love to live in a Deaf community. I think that would be AWESOME! Also trying not to let things or people discourage me from my dreams, goals and aspirations. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I need to lean on that if I truly am going to get anywhere.

April is here!

April in DC is AWESOME! I'm loving it down here more and more each day. The Cherry Blossoms are out and there are festivities in honor of the cherry blossoms for almost the whole month. I've see alot of different parts of DC so far and cant wait until the Parade in a couple weeks. Im so excited for this Saturday because we are going to NYC. It's Chris' first time in NYC so its going to be really cool to show him around. I've been busy entering myself in different writing competitions here at Gallaudet. I dont know if I have won anything as of yet. We shall see. I feel accomplished already having three poems published and three stories in the last two years. I'm trying to keep up with the newspaper here. Havent been consistent but I try my best. Love getting to know my friends from different countries and learning their cultures and different foods. Im still learning new ASL signs everyday and cant wait to show them off lol I dont want this semester to end at all. Gallaudet is definitely felt like another home to me. It's been a great three months thus far.
