This has been the craziest 2 weeks of my life, and it's coming down to the final week...

I have 4 days of school left, meaning less than 100 hours left until I'm completely finished my first year at SCAD.

To be honest, I can't believe it.

After months of holding back emotion, last night was my breaking point. There's just been too much going on to hold it all back.

What broke me was during the Kigurumi Party yesterday, we watched Dinosaur, and in the first 5 minutes, a lemur shows up. Someone shouted, "Hey, it's Pager!"

I honestly fought back tears for a minute.

Around 11:30, everything came crashing down. I realized how much I've learned in 30+ weeks of being in Savannah.

I've made more friends than I thought was possible.
I've felt like I actually belong.
I've had experiences I only dreamed of as a kid.
I've become such a different person.
I've grown into a woman who is confident in herself and much more independent.
I'm slowly realizing who I am.

This week is going to be crazy, but I'm going to try and enjoy it as much as I can.

To everyone out there that I've met and who has helped me through this trec of the journey... thank you.

 pager, I'm going to miss you so much. I've hardly gotten to hang out with you one on one, but I just feel like I've known you for years. You remind me so much of my older brother and you can always make me smile. You're always willing to get into suit and do stupid and crazy things, and it lights up my world to know I'm not the only one that enjoys it. I'm going to miss you so, so much. I'm going to try extremely hard to go to FWA, especially so I can hang out with you again. Miss you a lot buddy. If you ever need anything, let me know. <3

 toraie, Thank you so much for being such an amazing leader to the savannimals. I could never have asked for a better group of people, and you've brought them all together through hard work. I'm so glad I can call you a friend. You're outstanding. <3

 klynolder, You're such a sweetheart. Thank you for always greeting me with a large smile and open arms. It makes me feel so welcomed and loved. You'll always be my big brother in my heart. And if there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask. Just as you're there for me, I'm here for you. <3

Everyone in  savannimals - Ugh. You guys are amazing. This is my first time being in a community of people that doesn't have to do with school. Not only that, but my first furry community. You guys have been so welcoming and kind. So thank you. <3

 smileswonderland, I should be thanking you the most. You dragged me to the SCADfur's group and were my first real furry friend. We've had some crazy times together, and you've helped me a lot. So thank you for everything. <3

 wintersonata, Yes, I know I ranted to you last night, but I want to thank you again for everything. You've always been there for me, and I always have an amazing time when I'm with you. I laugh about the fact that the way we met was through an art trade one day, all because you offered to draw my character. We completely clicked in the first 2 minutes, and I knew there was something special about you. Since then, we've had tons of fun drawing together, helping eachother out, and just going places. Thank you so, so much for your help and care. You're one of a kind. I'm always here when you need me.<3

 scad_furs, Thank you for all your help with suit building tips and advice. You guys have been amazing. <3


 ashene, Geesh. Where do I even start. We've gotten so close in a few short weeks, but I feel like I've known you for years. I find it funny how far we've come since we first met back at the Valentine's day meet. I know you a lot better since then, obviously. You're such a tenderhearted and caring young man, and I couldn't ask for a better friend or boyfriend. <3 Every moment with you, I never want it to end. I feel so comfortable with you, and I just love to watch and learn more about who you are every time we hang out. You're so confident and kind that it makes me smile. You care so much about me that it drives me wild. I love that look you give when I'm about to do something crazy, but I know you'll keep watch over me. I just feel so safe and adored by you. I don't want to leave you in Savannah... but I know we'll see each other again soon enough. :D I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead for us and what God has in store. <3 You mean so much to me, Ash. I wish I could write it all down, but that's impossible... Just know that I'm always here for you, no matter what. Chin up, buttercup, and I'm excited to see the adventures that are in store for us! <3 :D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And those are my mini rants.

Now it's off to packing and finishing up my final projects for the week. I won't be posting any more until after Thursday.

Stay Tuned. <3
