Getting Closer (with some updates and some faves)

We are getting closer to another year at Bethel. Just a month and 4 days until it's move in time for me :)
I have sooo much packing and cleaning to do. You'd think it would be easy to pack since I would say half of my stuff has never left the bag or tote that it was packed in originally, but that is not the case. I am so excited to move into the Lodge with my closest friends.
Do you think it's ironic that I have a horrible memory when it comes to certain things, but in my dreams I can see a friend in clothes that they actually own, eating food in the manner that they usually do, and even speaking (or sometimes signing) exactly how they would if we were talking in person? Do you? because I find that ridiculous sometimes lol.
Gah I can't wait.

Recently I've:
Met a new friend in person
Had dinner with an old one
Driven aimlessly to a new destination
Written some new poems
Pondered more tattoos: one of the symbol for empathy, which is this, and one of quotes from my favorite poems, still deciding on quotes.
Packed a couple boxes
Waved at some old friends.

Some favorite things:
