It’s such a weird time of year. Like I feel so motivated to finish the semester because I feel like I’ve done so much this school year, but knowing that I’ll be home for summer in less than a month is putting that feeling to the test. Besides finals, I’m having all of the last tests in each of my classes like now and next week, which just leaves projects and studying. I want to do work but I also just don’t want to at all!!!!
My boyfriend came to visit me this weekend!!!! I had such a good time with him and we didn’t really do anything very unusual besides participate in Relay for Life. To be completely honest, Relay for Life wasn’t as much fun as I was expecting, but no part of me regrets doing it. I knew that what I was doing was for a good cause, and I’m really proud of how much money I ended up raising. I raised $1,175 which will support cancer research and various cancer patients’ needs while they’re going through various processes to try to rid themselves of this awful disease. At around midnight, the Luminaria ceremony took place, and that put me in my FEELS. Last year, my aunt died of liver cancer, so I made sure to include her in the ceremony. When her name and the photo I submitted of us together came up on the big screen, I got really choked up. I try not to spend too much time thinking about things that I know will make me sad, but when I’m forced to in an instance like this, I really just dwell on it. To conclude the Luminaria ceremony, everyone walked a silent lap around the track, and when it was time to get up, my entire leg fell asleep. Like, not just my foot or anything. It was my entire leg. So, while I was all sad and weepy following the ceremony, I literally could not stand up and walk without the help of my boyfriend. I’m so thankful that he was there to commemorate my aunt with me. We had such a good time together and I miss him already (even though I’ll see him again when I go home).
Cam, Adam (another one of our roommates), and I had our first radio show at Relay! This was also right after the Luminaria ceremony so it was hard to just completely switch from being sad to being happy and funny on the radio. Nonetheless, we did it, and I had so much fun. It’s so unfortunate that our show has gotten blacked out every week this semester, because I just think we’re so good at it. I generally try not to say things like “I’m so good at ____” or “I know so much about _____,” but I just think it went so well and I think we missed out on creating such good memories in the studio this semester. We made ourselves laugh on air, and I really do think that that’s a sign that we should be on air more often. The worst part is that we won’t be able to do it next semester either, because Cam and I will be doing our semester in San Francisco. I’m really hoping we can do something like this in the future, and maybe if we’re really eager to do something like this sooner, we can start a podcast or something.
And that’s my update. :)
