I held so many people in my suitcase heart

 Finals week has already taken on an entire new meaning this semester; it is a little more final than 
usual.  Final devotional.  Final days at the RC.  Final relief society lesson.  Final day in third grade.  Final weeks with laurakayciamyandeveryoneelseintheworld.  
It is such a contradiction: hurry quick! do this and this and this and this.  fast!  before it is all over!  but slow down!  slow. slow. slow.  don't end yet.
I'll miss these people, this place, this life. this part of life. 
 I don't know if it's the right 
time to be nostalgic, but I am anyway.  
Isn't it funny how there are always so many "lasts" before there are innumerable "firsts"?
 I'm student teaching!  In January.  In sixth grade.  I'm going to Africa!  In 
May.  First time.  I'm living at home!  With Bay.  First time (in a while).  Lots of new things.  new ward, new school, new people.  
It is really thrilling! 
But still, I'm just blue right now.
