Twenty Days of Vacation.

Chapter 2:::

So... The last couple days of school were a blur. After Florida studying just turned into failure. So, I stopped studying and started drinking green tea and watching the OC. Around this time is when 20 something tornados decided to head towards Covenant. This meant all the students spent their days (and nights) in a basement of one building or another. I chose Mac, the deafening music of Catacombs didn't seem appealing at the time. About twelve hours later Covenant is telling us that they have to evacuate in twenty four hours. And so the blur continues, Walmart run, packing, more packing, WaffleHouse, shower for Sarah, time with some Balconites, finally bed, wake up, packing, breakfast, and more packing (All of this is done with no electricity and no water) It was a blur. By the time the car was packed and we were on the road, all I wanted to do was collapse and sleep for day: hence, the twenty days of vacation.

Twenty days sounds like a lot of down time, but not after this year.

I have twenty days until I move to a different city, a different church, and a different job. again.

MY PACE over these next couple days= SLOW.

very slow.

After one semester of utter craziness,

and one semester that seemed like a wild roller coaster that eventually slowed,

I am able to go through my day slowly.

I wake up late into my day, read some, eat some, watch some movies, REST,

and then go to bed late; which then pushes me to sleep in the next day starting the whole routine over again.

So, my movie list is growing longer and my PJs are the only clothes I have known for a couple of days, but for the first time in a long time, I am so ok with going SLOW. Twenty days of vacation to breath, to remember and to process. So thankful for a chance to refocus.

So, this isn't a long chapter of my life,

BUT a very valuable one!

a chapter that will prepare me for the next ones.

(it took me almost ten days to write this blog. thats how slow I am going)
