I must say that the past couple of weeks have been nice, but weird. I've seemed to not have a lot of pressing things to do, and just a little bit of extra time to just sit around and relax. It's kind of making me nervous as I wonder if the Lord just knows that I need this down time before I get to going crazy. Either way, I'm grateful for it!! It's not something I normally get in my life as just a year ago, I was still working 40 hours a week at Petsense while taking care of other things in my life.
Right now, I'm starting to get excited for the new school year, and everything that is involved. It's my last year for my second Bachelor's degree!! I will have another degree in May, and that's so crazy! I won't walk with this one for a couple reasons... 1) I've already walked when I graduated with my Bachelor's degree from Westminster College, and 2) I'll be in Australia for study abroad!!! If everything works out, I'll walk across the stage again the very next May - May 2011 - with my Master's degree in Human Sciences - Child and Family Development. Yay for degree number 4 and progression in my life! :-)
This school year I am going to be busy, and it's going to be fun. But just as a fair warning and early apology, if it seems like I fell off the face of the earth or you never hear from me, it's not because of anything you did... I'm just really busy. However, I really hope that I'll be able to balance everything a little more, and put the things that truly do matter first. I have a few goals that I'm starting to think about in hopes that it'll get my life a little more balanced for the craziness it's going to be.
As of right now, here is a list of all my fun for just the Fall semester and even the whole school year:
* Either 13 credits of undergraduate classes or 10 undergraduate and 3 graduate credits. (I'm still waiting to hear from the Graduate School program.)
* Writing, publishing, and presenting! (I get to co-present at NCFR in San Francisco!)
* Jacks Council for Family Relations (JCFR) President (This will be the first year for JCFR).
* Phi Upsilon Omicron Treasurer.
* School of Human Sciences Ambassador Historian (and committee chair, as all officers are).
* Member of LDSSA and active student in Institute (I LOVE the CES Program!!!).
* Student Assistant for how ever many professors I will be given.
* Possible Resource Center employee for the education/charter school programs
* Key Holder for Petsense as I'm still going to stay (September will be 2 years!).
* "Babysitter" for the family I "live" with and of course, babysitting for anyone else that needs someone! I LOVE KIDS!!!!
* YSA President and everything that comes along with this... I must say, I'm starting to love this calling now, and really starting to get excited for the upcoming year!
* A momma to my baby girl who'll be 3 in September! :-)
* A daughter to my parents as I really want to improve this relationship!
* A girlfriend to my boyfriend... I guess you could say that's what we are now.
Those are the main things that come to mind that will cover a good bit of time. Right now, my family is pretty focused on the fact that my brother is getting married in just over a month (September 19). I can't believe my little brother is getting married!!
So yea, that's just some basic things in my life, but of course, there are always other things going on that not very many people know about or no one at all. My life is crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way!! I have dreams, desires, wants, and needs. There are things I want to do in my life, and I hope they happen!
