Yes, to answer you question. I am slightly crazy...maybe even fully crazy. But if anyone knows me well enough then they will know this already. (So it shouldn't be much of a shock.) Life is about doing this out of the ordinary, I fully believe anyways. If you were to live life doing everything normal and boring then...well, I feel sorry for you. Life is so short, I am nearly 19 and I know that is so young. I have no gray hair, gravity hasn't pulled much down yet, and I have all of my teeth and they are aligned quite well. But, you get my point. I can't believe these years have gone by and I am just living this mediocre life. Life has been super, don't get me wrong. But I feel like I need to do something random, spontaneous, out of the normal everyday life. Right now, my life consists of waking up, working, working out, eat, sleep, REPEAT. I am taking a year off of school if you didn't know that already. I know that the typical judgement placed on a graduate from high school is "Oh, she's taking a year off from school? She's NEVER going to go back." WRONG. THINK AGAIN, people. I went back and forth so much with trying to decide what I was going to do that I honestly took that as a sign from God to take a year off and figure things out. Don't jump into something that you are only half way about. So what am I doing might you ask instead of going to school? Well, as previously stated: working. Working to save for something incomparable to anything I have ever done.
I am going to the UK, you guys. On December 28th I will be flying out of Des Moines to Glasgow, Scotland. Long story short, my mom has known this family since she was little from Scotland that are willing to have me. I will stay there for a few weeks, then go to London to stay with a host family, and also some stops in the Midlands. (AND NO A CERTAIN BOY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.) Don't even think that. haha, seriously. I am going solely to find myself. Cliche? Maybe. But I have this opportunity and I would be absolutely....I can't even find the word. RETARDED maybe??! I feel so content with this opportunity and every time I think about it I grin from ear to ear. It seems so unreal. Pinch me, please. Because I can't think of anything I'd rather do right now. It will be so refreshing, exciting, new....everything. The best part is, I won't be returning until March.
Keep reading this blog, I will keep updating you with all the exciting details.
