april is the sweetest month

This April, I am the closest to being jettisoned out of the normalcy, routine, safety that is Formal Education that I've ever been, ever.

No jokes: it's been stressful. It's been a sort of a mess.

But this April has also been a good freaking month. Of so much growing up (and the growing pains) and good conversations on long car rides and spontaneous on-site prayer interventions and mindblowing paper-writing and the yolo-est yolo-in' in such a long, long time.

It makes me excited and tired and not make any sense with my words.

So here:

 a time for the old and the new. what a mindblowing and awe-inspiring blessing class this has been. I've learned so much about life and people and leadership skills and teamworking, for reals.
