Milestones. This whole year has been filled with milestones. Leaving home for another country, letting go and leaving behind people and places that I'm comfortable with, turning 21, learning to really trust God (still learning!), learning to let people in, learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, getting a scholarship, friends getting married, friends having babies, applying for postgrad studies...

I feel overwhelmed with how fast this year has been going, and even more so this week. Since Monday, I find myslef constantly running through a metal checklist of things that I have to do. Maybe it's the fact that it's the last week of lectures and my final semester as an undergraduate is coming to an end, but I'm feeling weird. Kinda like stress + frustrated + determined + hopeful. Guess it's the final sprint before the finish line. I will complete this race. I must. Otherwise dunno how many thousand go down the drain laaaa.....
