The summer has come to an end so quickly. I feel like I just got here. Four weeks doesn’t sound long, but I’ve changed so much in this time. I feel more okay expressing how I really feel and like I don’t always need to perform and act happy for my grandparents. Going home to see my grandma ill will be hard, but I want to spend as much time with her while she’s still here as I can. And Grace is dying to see me! She wants all the details in person when I return. Part of me is happy to go back to Tennessee, but another part wants to stay here.

It’s hard to think what it will be like not seeing Lana every morning. We’ve really grown as friends surprisingly. Then there is Grant. I am going to miss him and getting to be real, but have fun and be silly at the same time with him.
