ANYTHING but that

As graduation approached I needed to find something to do after school was out. For good. Not just for summer. For good. To be frank the idea of graduating terrified me. I remember crying myself to sleep some nights because I didn't want to graduate. Not just because I liked school - but I liked the routine and consistency that school offered.

So I tried to apply for this program that would let me travel to either Germany Switzerland or Holland (the program picked where) and learn German (or Dutch if I was to go to Holland). My German teacher had suggested it to us in our grade 11 and 12 year. They never even got back to me. So I decided I would apply to the local university. I wasn't really interested in university. But I figured if I had to do something that would be fine. I'd get a BA in English or something. I lost my first application and forgot to send in the second.

There was a reason I was trying to get into anything. ANYTHING. No really. Anything. Anything but this program my church offered. It's called Interns. It's a discipleship program. Kinda like an intense Bible school and the application of what you learn in the school. All at once. I had so many youth leaders suggesting that I go. For some reason I didn't want to go. I would rather do anything - ANYTHING - then do that. I said it was because it was "expected" of me to go - kinda like you graduate and go to Interns. Just what you do at our church (total lie but still)

However nothing I tried to go to really worked.

So I did Interns.

I mean really - what else was there to do. I still was a people pleaser. The leaders wanted me to do Interns. It would make then happy. Tada!!!

It would start the following September.

Theme: I Have a Dream

I love dreams. I dream all the time. I figured it would be good. I hope you will think it was good too.

But next time so I don't make an uber-long post.
