Footprints on the Moon

One thing I don’t miss about college is looking for one!! My friend’s sister-in-law is a senior in high school this year, and she’s looking at what college she might like to attend, from Gibbs Melville to my Alma Mater. Obviously, that’s where I’m encouraging her to look.
I don’t miss looking though… trying to choose a college was seriously stressful. I had been planning on going to the local Christian college, but I just wasn’t sure. They weren’t offering what I originally planned to study. I was already in, and planning on attending when I decided to apply to another school just to “see if I could get in.” Well, they accepted me too, and then I had to make a very difficult decision. In the end, I decided to go two and a half hours away, where I would know noone. Had I stayed local, I would have been in school with many people I went to church and to high school with. I can’t say I didn’t second guess my decision a few times, and sometimes I still wonder if I made the right choice. I went to an excellent school though, and it was ultimately very, very good for me to be away from home, out of my comfort zone for awhile. Good life experiences.

You know, I don’t know how people who have a TON of bento accessories find the places to STORE all of them! I have a handful of bento boxes, and a few accessories– sauce bottles (I’ve never used), cupcake liners, cookie cutters. But they were still taking over the top of my fridge. Yesterday though, I decided to clean the kitchen… never did finish… but I did find the perfect thing for Bento tool storage! I had a Dr. Pepper lunch box on top of my fridge that I had forgotten about. I got it down, cleaned it off, and stocked it up with all of those accessories. They fit perfectly, and now I have room on top of my fridge for other things. Yay!

Today is the last day of September. The. last. day. of. September. How freaking crazy is that?! I can’t believe that… I don’t know where this year is going, but it’s zipping by so fast! BUT I love Halloween, so I’m not overly disappointed about October. I’ll have to go dig through my storage closet soon to find the few Halloween decorations that I do have.

Visit DigiCass to see who else is participating this week, and probably less freaked about the end of the month than I am!
