Somewhere In Between

So much has happened in the past week and a half and I am still trying to figure out where I am. Here is the breakdown on what life has been like.

13 days ago I began saying my goodbyes to dear friends.
10 days ago I walked down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstance and received a very nice diploma cover (diploma to come later in the mail.)
9 days ago I left Chicago, a city I have come to love, and brought all that I own back to Ohio.
7 days ago I began unpacking, a work in progress.
5 days ago family began to arrive for Emily's graduation.
3 days ago my baby sister graduated high school.
2 days ago I survived her graduation party and the mad cleaning, cooking and decorating that came with it.
1 day ago everyone left.

That leaves me here. Trying to figure out if I am really finished with school and just home on a break. As I come to grips with reality I am also trying to motivate myself to go clean out my closet and sort through all the junk that stayed here when I left for college so I can finally unpack. I am also beginning my fund raising so I can leave for Germany at the end of July. As all this goes down I am finding a new routine and rhythm to life, taking each day as it comes and living it to its fullest. So even though I'm not really sure where I am or how life goes here, I'm just taking the next step.
