Taking Stock before the Next Big Step

Tomorrow I start grad school. Yeah. Yeah.
I am literally all nerves right now. Just one big walking display of anxiety. I saw a post called "Taking Stock" here and thought it was just lovely and a little bit what I needed in this moment, so I'm gonna take that inspiration and run with it for a second. And hopefully that will help.

Making: myself sick anticipating tomorrow and this upcoming summer. Also, a calendar. Lord, give me peace and calm my spirit tonight because I am freaking out fo sho.
Cooking: absolutely nothing and regretting it. I really need to get into the habit of cooking again. Maybe some meal planning would help?
Drinking: water, water, water over the past few days. Also, beer, but hello, it's summer.
Reading: surprisingly nothing right now! I was nervous to start something before grad classes because I didn't think I'd have time to finish it.
Wanting: a magical scholarship fairy. Or a billionaire boyfriend. Or both.
Looking: for dresses that make me feel like Lydia Martin.
Playing: lots of QuizUp. Hits on my love of trivia and my natural competitiveness.
Wasting: time sleeping by writing this instead.
Wishing: for a dude who loves Jesus and looks like Dylan O'Brien.
Enjoying: watching my siblings grow up. New friends. Two dollar mimosas at Saturday brunch.
Waiting: impatiently for the next episode of "Teen Wolf" because I'm actually 13 years old.
Liking: Brooklyn 99 and late-night chill-outs watching Jimmy Fallon in the living room.
Wondering: how they would ever let this weirdo teach impressionable teens?!
Loving: my parents and heart to hearts with friends.
Hoping: that I actually wake up on time tomorrow.
Marveling: at wedding videos on Pinterest.
Needing: to be tired already.
Smelling: hopefully better than I look right now.
Wearing: cut-off shorts or dresses almost every day.
Following: two dreams at once.
Noticing: different ways to show love in actions and in truth.
Knowing: that I have to be better about giving my worries up to God. You've got this, I'm just constantly struggling to loosen the reins.
Thinking: a ton about Katie's wedding (!!!).
Bookmarking: anything about drama education.
Opening: a new chapter in my life in less than eight hours.
Giggling: about anything and everything, always.
Feeling: overwhelmed and excited.
