“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”

A Different Kind of Adventure.

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:53:43 -0500

I find myself suddenly at the edge of everything I have ever known. I realize it most every Wednesday when I sit in Chapel. I think how much I am going to miss this place. This community. I am grasping so tightly, trying already to hang on to the memories. I am comfortable and I know that soon I will have to find that comfort in a new place. I have to leave all the people I have come to love. A place I have come to love (minus the QC). And for as many things that have fallen into place as of late, I am still just as lost as ever.

I have sent my acceptance to Vanderbilt and in the wake of that found out that I was not accepted to YAGM. It was a let down, to say the least. Something that I had been thinking and dreaming about for so long was suddenly not an option. School is a perfectly fine option for next year but I still feel that there is so much more I could do. I do not just want to study, and talk about and write about making a difference. I want to help make that difference. I want to be the hands and feet.

I filled out an application last minute for the Lutheran Volunteer Corps. It is not that I would not love to be apart of this group, I believe in what they stand for and how they live. It simply was not what I was expecting. I had an idea in my head about what life before grad school was going to look like and that has been shattered. But then again, when do any of our plans ever turn out the way we imagined them? I never intended to come to Augustana, and look where that journey has taken me…

So here I am, suddenly (or maybe not so suddenly) on the edge of everything I have ever known. Everything is about to change and I still have no idea what my life (or even next year) holds for me. I am still waiting. Hoping. My breath is held. I try not to dream of adventure for myself, but rather the adventure of a life of service.

“April is the cruelest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.”

“I plan to make a buttload of money.”

“A buttload? How much is a buttload?”

“A thousand dollars. I base that on the fact that this one time, I fit five dollars up my butt. And not to brag or anything, but I could fit way more up there. Way more.”
