One Last EBS Blog...
Yesterday, the Dictionary.com word of the day was:
lachrymose \LAK-ruh-mohs\, adjective:
1. Generating or shedding tears; given to shedding tears; suffused with tears; tearful.2. Causing or tending to cause tears.
Which I considered to be rather appropriate, considering how many times I found myself either actually giving way to tears or at least being on the verge of them this past week. I didn't think I would get so emotional so soon, but here I am, a big blubbering ball of cheese, thinking over the past year and all the people and experiences I've had and realizing that this one year has been so completely different from all my other years of life and has changed me so much that I don't think I'll ever think the same way about life again. The thing is, it hasn't been the classes that have taught me so much while I've been here. I mean sure, I now know how to give a mean massage, plant copious amounts of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers, give hydro therapy and a bible study on Daniel and Revelation at the same time, but those aren't the things that have caused me to make changes, or that have opened my eyes so drastically and really made me think. It's the people I've met, and the lessons I have learned through them. I don't know how different the year would have been if one person hadn't been here, but I'm honestly really glad all of them were, and I'm intending on missing everyone, because everyone has made some sort of impact on my life, whether negative or positive, the point is that they have, and the lessons I have learned this year will effect how I live the rest of my life. I'm really happy and thankful that I have been here this year and gotten to meet all these people and experiance all these things. :)
