Things are Wrapping Up, All of a Sudden

All of a sudden my profs are saying things like: "two more classes left..." and "as the year wraps up..."
Wow.
Really? ... Already?


This year's been a whirlwind. It's been filled with all the things a school year could be, really.  Firstly, growth. I don't feel like the same person who left Alberta eight months ago.  Class taught me more than I thought was even out there to learn, and God's taught me even more. Things about myself, things about others, and things about the world and my role in it. With growth comes tears, and heartbreak; feeling uncomfortable, and missing the familiar. But I'm thankful for it all. I'm thankful for the people I've encountered and the lessons that weren't learned the easy way.

maple tress are for real?

Toronto is quite a lovely place

Part of me looks forward to summer. Familiar friends and free rent; can't be so bad, right? But maybe a little part of me ran away. Maybe a little part of me isn't so much looking forward to trying to fit new Hilary into old Hilary's shoes. Thoughts of what people will think eat away at me.  I feel like an entirely different person in some ways, and I don't know how it'll look when I attempt to step back into the life I left behind last September.
