Well I haven't been on dA for a while. Since July 7 to be exact. Since I've been gone a lot of things have changed, and of course, I've changed with them.

1. I travled outside the country for the first time. London and Kenya. Kenya was the most amazing experience I've EVER had! I mean safarri and seeing a wildebeast migration is amazing, but the people there have had the biggest impact on me. The week I spent in a village teaching Bible school truly was life altering. I could write a whole book about this, but I won't bore you with the details.

2. dA has a new layout. I'm not sure that I like it, but I'm not sure that it matters since I'm never on anymore.

3. Senior Year- College Apps are done minus one essay. I'm taking pretty much the craziest course load that anyone's ever taken at my school, because I need to get a scholarship to go to college. Wrestling just started. It sucks. Three hour practices with an hour devoted solely to conditioning. I feel like I'm about to break.

Well, our friendship is shattered and it will never be the same again. I'm actually alright though. I've forgiven and I don't hate her or anything, but I've gotten over it and I'm to the point of indifference. I guess it really is best to "Forgive and forget."

Change. It's a part of life. Sometimes we love it, sometimes we hate it. Personally I'm a fan most of the time, but a recent revelation that's lead to change in my life has been really difficult on me. I guess fall is the season of change. As the leaves change, so does my life, and I'm forced to evolve with each
