I've been majorly stressed out about tests and school stuff, and trying to fit in polo and studying and still be able to have fun and see my friends. Literally, I've been losing hair this week, and the last time that happened was the month after my Gramma passed away.
There was a rainbow today though! I had just rode my bike through a rain storm right before I found out that I didn't do well at all on my political science test this week. (Rain always reminds me of a saying that my Gramma used to say when it was just her and I watching the rain/snow -- "I love it when it rains because it reminds me that those in Heaven are watching over me".) Ever since she passed away rain has meant a lot to me. It rained on my 18th birthday, and the day that I graduated. It rained on her birthday, and the 6 month anniversary of the day she made it into Heaven. I cannot see it rain without smiling anymore, and I love it. Well, I had just rode my bike through the rain, grinning the entire time. I found out my exam grade and took it pretty hard. I decided to get off of campus and so I went to Target for some therapeutic shopping (yay for gift cards!), and on my way I saw a BEAUTIFUL rainbow. It was the reminder I needed of the rain and the metaphor that is for me. It was also a "hey, things do turn out well. there's beauty behind the storm" thing for me.
Well... I've been needing to get out of C-stat and so when the opportunity to go work a retreat at Cho-Yeh came about, I immediately said yes. So, I'm going CHOME (Cho-Home) this weekend! I will be able to see two of the ladies that were instrumental in my summer and also get to hang out with some other counselors. I can't step foot onto camp property and not be grinning ear-to-ear, and so therefore I know that being back for the weekend is going to do wonders for me!
