School is Almost Finished!!!

I must apologize to those of you who look forward to reading my blogs. I am going through blogging withdrawal, and I would like to end this school year with a positive note.

I only have one more exam left, and that will be tomorrow at 9AM. It is my hardest one, and I am going to be doing much studying later on today.

Right now I am cherishing this wonderful day that God has given to us. The day is beautiful, although the storm clouds have overtaken the sun. It's brilliant face is hiding, and now I look forward to an earth shaking thunderstorm(oh, how I wish!). The wind is balmy and strong, and I hope it will continue like this for the rest of the day.

Oh, I love this time of year! I have never felt so alive as I have these past three days when the sun was shining with all of it's might, and the skies were blue! It seems like everyone here on campus felt the same way, and I have enjoyed the company of these people immensely.

I was writing in my journal last night, reflecting on this past year. I have been so blessed by the people that I have met here. And to think that I almost didn't want to come! What a community! What a wonderful group of people! Yes, we all have our faults, and perfection does not abound here. However, we love one another and show that love when we sit in the sun talking, listening to people play guitar, whatever the case may be.

I am horrible with goodbyes. Although I know that many of the people here are coming back in the fall, there are a few that I may never see again until heaven! I want to tell those people that I love them with all my heart, and it was such a pleasure to get to know them this year! (You know who you are!)

This week is going to be bittersweet, but I am going to take advantage of every moment.
Love, Ash

Hi Ash.

So good to read your blog this morning! It has been a while but I think we all knew that this has been a pretty stressful month for you as you had your final classes, prepared and wrote your exams and are now getting ready to say good byes to your friends for the summer or even longer as you said in your writings.

We have been praying for you all through the year but especially these past weeks as we know how stressed you have been.

It was good to read what a positive and growing experience this whole year had been for you.

As you get ready for the last 'BIG One' tomorrow, you are almost there for now and I am sure you will welcome the time to be at home with your family for some well needed time with each one of them Even though you will be working, you can have a little time to do some new things and eventually prepare to come back to school in the fall.

Make the most of these next few days as you pack them away in your 'Memory bank' to look aback on in the years to come.

Love you always Nan xoxox
