May The Force Be With You

My family and I went to go see Star Wars III the other day. It was an amazing end to the trilogy. It made me think (for reasons that I'm not going to say for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet. I don't want to give away anything) how blinding love can really be. If we're not careful, our emotional side can make us do things that we will regret later on. We really have to be careful in choosing our partners and guard our actions, and ourselves or we could end up hurting ourselves or those around us.

Something else I've been thinking about is how many people we leave behind in life. Last week was our last choir concert. Next year, I'm off to the high school. I may never see Mrs. D (our choir director) or Mrs. B (her accompanist) again. I had grown so close to them these past two years, and now I have to leave. That's kind of like what happened to my friend Curtis. He and I were best friends (plus I had a major crush on him). But then one day, he disappeared. I learned later on that he had done something to get him kicked out of the Masonic Home and moved to York or Boys Town or somewhere like that. Everyone thinks he went somewhere different. What are the chances of me ever seeing him again? I used to say that once I got a job at NASA that I would hire a search warrant to search the country for him, but even so, would he remember me? I've gotten over my crush on him (finally) but I still miss him. My friend, Katty, just had her best friend move to Florida. But I guess, like I told her, you will inevitably lose or leave behind a ton of people in life, but you will always meet more. God knows what he's doing in my life, and I trust him when he takes people out of it. He knows best.

On a lighter note, school lets out in 2 1/2 days! Yay!

My Japanese classes start in August. I can't wait!
