What's your Midas ability? I kill technology.

Thank goodness for the twenty first century!

Technology, despite how dependent society has become on it, truly is a blessing. I'm being reminded of this fact everyday when I log on to good ol' super computer and pull up facebook. More than likely I have my phone next to me and I'm having random conversations with friends from all over the state.

I think what I love about it is all the friends that I wouldn't have made without technology. That's the beauty of say... college! I have this friend that I have never ever ever met in person, and while we both would love to change that, who says that really going to happen when we live six hours apart. Hooray for texting! This age's technology really allows friendships to be created, and when moving forward is such an important piece of my life right now, I couldn't be more thankful.

Plus, it's helping me stay in touch with those goodbye-ers. And as much as I love writing, sending and receiving letters - I would die if that was the only means on communication available. I love sending small messages of hope, thoughts and love to people over text. Sometimes accompanied with a picture of puppies, or kittens, or ducklings, or babies. :) Letters would make that process a monster.

Mostly, I am just thankful that the ability is out there. I get to go to a school, and still see my family.... via video chat. I can call them at any point. I have the ability to never seriously lose touch with anyone. Something like that just blows my mind. What a world we live in.

Disclaimer: I'm also horrid with understanding technology. So, if things could just stay how they are now, that'd be awesome. Like my student email. I have no idea why it is so frozen. My whole world is thrown because of that. Seriously, I need a geek squad with me at all times. I am the Midas of killing technology. Anyone who has attempted to tinychat with me will understand this.

Good news is I have lots of friends who love me no matter how great my ability with technology is. And if anything I will stand in awe as it takes two clicks to save my computer. Coffee for them!

And this is mostly because I have yet to look at this and not smile. Food humor <3

Somewhere Only We Know

In two days, basically one since there is forty five minutes left on the clock for today, is September first. From that point I have a total of twenty two, read that again, twenty two, days left. Over the last two weeks I have said so many goodbyes to people of all sorts of attachment. And you know what, it's getting easier.

It'll never be a breeze, but it's definitely becoming more of a wish of luck for the future and a fingers crossed you'll keep in touch, rather than the tears fiasco that I have perfected. I love the fact that I can give the hugs, wish the luck, and let them go. Beautiful things can happen in the space between, and the reunions are that much sweeter.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love reunions? I love the hugs that never seem to end, and that elation that is just ... right. I think the reminder that I will now get to have all those reunions is making the goodbyes that much better. Like seeing my best friend this Christmas? It's going to be filled with sassy comments, hugs and smiles.

And you know whats extra great? The vikings that I will become and have become friends with are going to be the reunions in January. Reunions all around.It makes me happy.

As for now? I'm just trying to keep myself looking forward, because the more I look back, the more I see reason to procrastinate, and no one needs that, hm?

Have a lovely week, and a shout out to those starting the school this week! I'm insanely jealous.
