I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places..

I’ve been sitting here for awhile trying to rack my brain for what to say in my pre-graduation post. Although I would love to leave you with beautiful imagery to serve as closure for the most significant era of my life, I can’t quite come up with words that do these past four years justice. Also, the flood of tears that could potentially come from stirring up the multitude of feelings in my heart may damage the keyboard in front of me, so I’ll try to keep my emotions in check.

Rather than cry over the past, I will instead look forward. In June I will be returning to Time Warner Cable in Virginia to work in their corporate marketing department as an intern on the wireless team with potential to become a full-time employee in the fall. Because the job is located close to home, I will be moving back in with my parents to save money (and because they have just been so lonely these past four years without me!). Along with working 40+ hours a week, my summer plans include a family vacation to Tampa, attending weddings, catching up on reading, and enjoying the sweet Virginia sun.

I’ll close with a poem I found in the college history book that was read at a dedication service for Messiah in 1912:

“As time rolls on, some future day,

good people will relate

of Grantham’s school, and then they’ll say -

there we did graduate

sweet memories.”

-J.R. Zook
