It's Over Already?

To be honest, it isn't over yet. I still have one more final. But being at the end of the semester, one becomes reflective. I have completed one year at University of Idaho. I never thought I'd be here. I thought I'd be finishing my third year at Utah State. I would be in their interior design program and I'd be graduating a year from now. Not everything goes as planned. While it still stings at times, I am so happy to be where I am. Idaho has welcomed me and made me a part of the community. Sometimes, I still feel a little awkward, but this is the place I'm meant to be, at least for now.

This year has been full of ups and downs. The awkward, I'm not a freshman but still new, was how I started. I now walk around campus knowing exactly where I'm going. I had times when I was sure I couldn't complete the tasks asked. Two classes in particular scared me. Materials and Specifications of the fall semester, and Architecture 154 of spring semester. I've conquered both. I have proven to myself that I can't doubt what I'm able to do. I can do what I set my mind to. The friends I've made has to be the highest up. There have been so many people that I will look back and remember as being influential, even if I never see them again. A few of them are graduating, and it makes me a little sad to know that they won't be here for the rest of my time here. I met a girl named, Megan. She has been one of the funnest girls I've been around. I know I'll see her again and continue our friendship. It is a bummer she is graduation because I can't imagine what next year will be like without her. I also have met new people in my building who I can't wait to see next year, even though they are also graduating. They introduced me to Margarita Wednesdays. We've had wonderful conversations and laughs. I will also miss my roommate. We got on each other's nerves every now and again, but we've been there for each other. We spend our Thursdays watching Grey's Anatomy, our Tuesdays watching the Lying Game and Pretty Little Liars. We've cried, laughed, and cooked together. I can't imagine this past year without her. Another person, who I only met this past semester, I'll probably never see again. That is the thing with being friends with foreign exchange students, you never see them again. sure you can keep up with them on Facebook, but that type of friendship only goes so far... I looked forward to my class, just so I could sit, talk, and joke with this friend. It adds a little sadness to my excitement of going home. While I'll miss my friends, I am thrilled to go home. I can't wait to spend three months not worrying about classes. I can't wait to be with my mom and dad. I can't wait for afternoons by the pool. I just can't wait to be home.

I am going to spend the next five days enjoying the end of this year. I am going to study for my final and have fun with friends. I am also going to pack and think of next year. ext year I get to enjoy being an RA . I get to help freshman acclimate to school and hopefully make them feel like school is home. I'm looking forward to so much. Just need to keep moving forward and enjoy every second.

From Idaho with Love, Molly

London Day Nine- Bath

Today was really good. I loved visiting Bath again! It is pretty much exactly how I remember, except no painted animal statues. We arrived in Bath to start our short trek to the Roman Baths. I didn't get to do this last year so it was something exciting and new to visit. I have to say though I wasn't completely impressed. I mean it was cool to imagine what it looked like in its glory days and to hear what the people of Bath believed, but compared to the Greek baths not all that exciting. There was a waterfall with steaming hot water that was pretty dang cool! Where the water flowed there was orange sulfur ruminates that grew. It caste the coolest glow on the water and ceiling.  I was really impressed with how beautiful that was. I also enjoyed the rooms with the mosaics because for me they held the most artistic aspect of the baths. I then made my way to the main pool that is now green from algae, because it is no longer covered like it was back in the day. The surface was rath...

Paris day 24- FontaineBleau and Vaux le Vicomte

Today was a late day. We were given the morning to ourselves we just had to be back and ready at 1pm ready to go. So for the morning I decided to try and get caught up on some blogs. I got up a little early and ate some breakfast. After that I finished getting ready for the day and grabbed my laptop to head down to the lobby and work on blogs. Ireland and my need for sleep put me behind on my blogs. So I sat in the hot lobby typing away. At one point a family came down the stairs and elevator. The kid decided to run down the stairs while the parents took the elevator. The kid won the race and I noticed he was wearing a Sharks Sweatshirt, for those of you who don't like hockey it is the San Jose hockey team. So when the parents came down they said hi and asked if they were from California? They said yes and how did I know and I pointed to the sweatshirt and told them I loved hockey. Then I told them my team was the Red Wings. They are from Detroit and the Sharks have a rivalry. We s...
