It's time for Kevin's Quarterly Blog, or what I like to call, my annual goodbye blog. But this goodbye means a little something more, for am I bidding my farewell to BW. Just writing this is a little hard... how do you sum up four years? Make a top 10 best bw moments list? Nah, it would be special to only me. Say thank you's to the top 10 people? No because chances are you will be left out. I guess what I can do is ramble about some things that I've done here. Here goes... anything... I formed an a cappella group, I sang for one of the best choirs in the state, I sang in a concert under the worlds greatest living director, I taught kindergarten and second grade, I gained and lost weight, I learned to play euchre, I went to some parties, I got every grade across the spectrum, I learned to write lesson plans, I learned to surround myself with good people and be rid of everyone else, I lived with four people, I made a home away from home with friends as family, I ate a lot of chicken, I became very sad and then very happy, I had my heart broken but built again stronger, and though I haven't found what I wanted to do with my life; I most importantly found myself. Did I leave anything out? Absolutely, but not everything is meant to be re-lived.

I'm sorry for waiting almost 3 months to blog again, but I'll let you in on a little secret. When I blog a lot, that's my way of desperately searching for happy things to write about. If I go weeks or months, then that means times are good, skies are blue. It means that I don't need to think of anything happy because I am living well. Go to my archives, look at when I first started blogging, that was right around the time I got dumped hard core. And I spent about a year after that trying to find myself and getting lost many times. Those are the times I blogged the most. But then look at the previous two years, when I made real friends, when I found real love. Those are the times that I blogged very little. See the pattern?

Tonight Mary and I said goodbye to this campus in probably the best way possible. We walked to every single building and tried to think of the last time we set foot there and what our best memory was. It's just amazing how much living I've done all over this place.

Oh what in the world am I going to do this summer? Awesome question with a shitty answer. Looks like I'm doomed to go back to the Nurtury, hopefully under a different program. But for my own well being, I cannot work full time there, but I need full time money. Anyone got any bright ideas? Most importantly I think I will ride this summer for what it is... the last summer of "yay it's finally summer!" because I think adulthood officially starts with student teaching, and let's face it, that sucks.

Well I leave behind four years of collegiate glory, and I turn to the future with a set of bw shades, because it's so bright, I can't see where I'm going.

But I can see a stand up bit...
So I was talking with my friend the other day, and he said, "Oh remind me not to forget to sell back my books." Sure... and thanks for choosing me. Basically you've taken your responsibility, and totally made it all mine. Cripes, if you need me to help you move something, or need me to drive you somewhere, I can help. But you don't need anything like that, you need me to help you use your brain! If that's the case, you shouldn't be let out of your room. And when I forget, and oh yes I will forget, it is totally my fault. "Dude, ah man you were supposed to remind me! Oh why did I count on you in the first place? You knew how busy I was watching Dr. Phil!!!"
