Goin' with the Flow!

It is COMPLETE craziness that graduation is less than seven days away. A week from now I will be laying around and catching up on sleep from the weekend with no worries but summer time. No longer will I have another year of high school to experience because it will over. EEE!!! 

Here we are on our last week. I already know that things are going to be CRAZZZYY! As we get ready for the big day I am getting excited and I have a couple things on mind....

1.       My camera better be charged at all times.  

2.       Water-proof make-up is going to come in handy.

3.       My Spanish needs some practice or I am going to sound like a fool in front of thousands of people.

4.       My body is going to need some serious recovery after the week is over.

5.       AND last but not least, thank goodness for graduation parties. They are a reminder of how happy graduation is.

I enjoy that the five listed items have nothing to do with school and the stress of finals! I have realized that there is no point of stressing my last couple days of high school. I am a smart girl so let the festivities carry on!  I look back and reflect upon the year and how foolishly overwhelmed I was. I guess at the time it made sense because the thought of beginning life on my own seemed like a blur. Now smiling and being happy makes the most sense. Without all the hard work and stress that I put into this year I would not be in the position I am now. It all fell into place and it was wonderful to have the "college" weight lifted off of my shoulders a little. I am so blessed for the financial assistance and scholarships that I have received. I went from a crazy mess to completely content on the how I have spent the last two months of my high school career.  Thank you dear Lordy!

I let it all out, took a breather, and just like that I was reunited with life as I was refreshed with my optimism.  I know I will look back and always have a sense of the stress that I felt throughout this year. I also know that there will be plenty more years to go that will include stress.  I am just grateful that I experienced what needed to be experienced this year. At least I know there are solutions and reminders of how blessed we are in life. I laugh at the fact that what I have on my mind now includes the fear of having raccoon eyes on Graduation night from make-up that is not waterproof. I am also happy that I can admit that I, Maria Garcia (Full-blooded Mexican) needs to practice my Español. Yes, what is on my mind includes silly thoughts. I love silly.

I give tremendous thanks to the great Lord. I have slowed down to enjoy the scenery and cruise on through the SENIOR LANE!
