We’re down to the wire here. Less than two weeks left of school. I still have one report I have to finish and finals start this Thursday. Wow.
My first real year at a university has been full of learning experiences. I’ve gained new friends and learned more about who God is and what He wants from me. I’ve learnned a fun new language (Chinese, for the curious), studied the old and new testaments in detail, got started on my graphic design portfolio (six different pieces already!), and signed up for a wonderful opportunity that will take me to East Asia on an International Service Project. I’ll be going for 3 weeks in the summer.
I haven’t been doing a lot of writing, and I’ve been doing less reading. If I said I was reading my school textbooks, I’d be lying. One of the best things to come my way (other than ISP) is the RPG club. It’s one night out of the week where I can just enjoy things.
Unfortunately, it feels like it may be coming to an end. See, the RPG Club was originally found by a group of people who have since gone on to more important things. They were their last semester, playing in their advanced campaign while the noobs sat at another table and played a beginner campaign. That makes it sound bad. No, the originals were all very nice and helpful. Really. They ran another campaign on their own another night of the week, and still came on Thursdays. It was nice the first semester.
This spring semester, however, people got busy. Not wholly surprising, considering one of them is getting married and others are graduating.
Still, it feels as though the RPG club is dying and may not survive to next semester. Some of us are discussing doing our own campaign outside the RPG night and I’m really hoping that works out because if not, and if RPG club goes away, then I’m not going to have a relaxation time away from schoolwork and homework. I might as well go back to the shy, timid girl who wastes her time away on the internet and has no social life. (I may be exaggerating a little, but I was pretty close to that before I came here to school so it’s a valid fear.)
So as school closes and we all go our separate ways, I can only hope that I won’t backslide this fall when I come back and see all my friends again.
