Eye on July.

As I glance through my calendar, I thought I had my "eye on July," not realizing that there is only 8 days left until August begins and 14 days until my life in Chicago begins.

Panicking much? SLIGHTLY.

Do I really know what I am getting myself into? NO. 

Am I ready to find out once I am there? YES.

Perusing through my "To-Do List" for the next two weeks has increased my level of stress and anxiety exponentially. Yet at the same time, I felt an immense rush of blissful emotions coming at me. Life is sinking in realllll hard, but my future is near in focus. 

I've already started to categorize and label boxes of my belongings in order to move-OUT of Lawrence, KS and begin my move-IN to Chicago, IL. Of course, I hate everything and anything about the entire process of packing. Although this time it seems to be a bittersweet project as I reminisce over Mass St. bars and foodie adventures, midnight snacks at Munchers Bakery, meltdowns during March Madness, and most of all, the memorable friendships I have made. I can truly say that KU has helped me define myself. It has been a wonderful experience these 4 years of undergraduate, but now my time has come to an end. I'm ready to climb the challenge and redefine who I am as I enter 4 years of optometry school. 

And this month just flew by with incredible events: One of my best friends moved away, I spent 4th of July with Austin (TX that is), my sister got ENGAGED to her fiance, and I've continued to meet new individuals as I leave my legacy at KU behind; just to name a few. 


But now is the time to get my eye off July and into what is clear in sight.
