going quiet

May 10, 2012 in in sum with 2 Comments

It’s finally time. I graduate this Saturday from Baylor University.

I could write, between now and then, about the leaving and the packing and the stacks of books.

I’m breaking from normal blogging habits with something a bit silly and fun for today. Ten lists of ten items each (in NO order, I assure you) from 2010. Now, some of them (like songs or books) are not exclusive to 2010 but were somehow significant to me this past year. Actually, all of these things proved to be greatly significant.
