Finals, finals, and more finals...then the end...of the beginning

So, like the title suggests, I have finals. One more final until I am truly done....the end of the beginning is at hand. Now that I'm staying for four years...I've just completed the beginning of SO much more. I mean, sure, I'm done the first year...but this semester has felt VERY different than the first year of PLBC.
I've got AMAZING friends that I have gotten SO close to, SO fast. I can't even begin to talk about what they mean to me right now. This winter, Silas is coming home with me, and I really don't know what that's going to look like. I mean, it's gonna be awesome. I just don't know what going home is going to be like. Like a friend of mine has said out here, they couldn't imagine staying out here for this long, and now, it's become my home. I'm not trying to make my true home and less...but there's something different about being out here now.
My classes are coming along great. I REALLY wanted to take a class called "Theology of Spiritual Warfare," but it's not gonna work out. I REALLY wanted to take that class. I started reading the textbook for it last night...and it was SOOOO sick. The stuff it was talking about was incredible. Anyway, I need to get back to studying, I guess I just thought that I would put this out there.
Just 4 more days until I go back, woohoo!
