it been a while since i posted!
life has been hectic this week. i had a 10 page paper due today and a presentation. next week i will only have 2 finals!! :D yay! then i get to go home on tuesday! super stoked for extra time at home! :D as of right now... i have one more class left in the semester! time has seriously flown since i have been here! i cannot believe that i am halfway through my first year of college!
something else that has been adding stress to my life is my major. i have been told so many different things by so many different people that i honestly have no idea what i am going to do. i know that i want to teach but apparently i need to know what age i want to teach right now. i dont want to make that choice yet! my ideal major would be to double major in elementary education and english.... but if i did that i would be here an extra year..... dont really want to do that! i will figure it out while im home... but its so hard deciding what i want to do because this decision will effect the rest of my life.
we had a hall prayer time on tuesday and many of the requests were about people dying. there has been a lot of death in our hall this semester. obviously i the people i live with are not dying, but their family members and extended family members are. it has made me very appreciative of life. one family i know is going through a lot right now... the mom has cancer and is unlikely to make it much past Christmas if she makes it that far. she has a 5 year old daughter and an 8 year old son. it is going to be so hard for her husband and family. i am so thankful that i was able to grow up with both of my parents around.
the group of friends that i have become a part of is starting to have issues. i have never been a part of a group this big so i have never been part of this stuff before. i love all of them but i am very excited to be going home and having a break! i just cant deal with some people right now and leaving for 4 weeks is a blessing!
stuff has been happening and i finally decided to sit down and type a long email to Tim. i am so glad i did! i feel like an idiot for not doing it earlier. this is part of what he told me:
"its what God had planned for you so you just have to understand that there is someone else out there for you and that that person is perfect for you in every way."
that is exactly what i needed to hear! God is amazing at putting the right person in my life at the right time to encourage me.
God has been teaching me so much over the past few weeks! its amazing :D
on another note.... the weather here is OUT OF CONTROL!!! right now it is THREE degrees!!!! it was about 20 a couple of days ago and i thought i was going to DIE! apparently it is only gonna get colder! there has been no snow because there has been no rain! but all of the fountains on campus are frozen!! its so cold!!! i cant wait for california!!
