It's my last night at the Loch (also known as Kalaloch Lodge). I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I've been living on a beautiful, Washington beach for the past 3 months. This summer has been full of more challenges and excitement than I can count. I have learned so many new things! I have learned from everyone here and am still trying to hold onto this magical place in every way possible before I have to head back to New Mexico. I am excited to finish up college but as I remember the beginning of this summer and how I had no idea what I was doing, I think of the future and what it could possibly hold. I look forward to new adventures and all the new learning experiences that will cross my path. Washington has taught me a new kind of beauty and Kalaloch has taught me a new kind of world. Lord only knows where I will be come May of 2012 but I know after this summer, I can take on any challenge. Washington has a new place in my heart, right next to Colorado. I feel as if I'll be back here soon but for now, I anticipate my senior and final year in college.
