I apologize. I have disappeared for a while.....This semester has been extremely busy between trying to finish up school, working, track, working on the new blog, and recently job and apartment searching.
But, I will be a college graduate in 13 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it. It's such an amazing feeling.
Mornings like today are my favorite. I woke up to sunshine and perfect degree weather. I have time to sit and enjoy my coffee before getting ready for church. I think I'm starting to find my morning person again, it's always hard to enjoy the day when you wake up in the dark of winter. Sometimes I wish I could just skip over those few months every year.....
I thought I'd give you all a little update of my life while I can. School is going well. It's been very busy and very stressful, but I'm almost done. A few more papers and two days of intensive finals and I'm done with my undergraduate career. Wow. Then, one class this summer, with a lot of free time around that, and I'll start teaching some entry level writing classes this fall. I better study up on my comma usage. :) I'm hoping to have a really good summer. Mostly working and then my Irish lit class. But I also have to study up on my French so I can pass the language exam in the fall. I'm also hoping to get into my yoga again. I've been working on it for the past month, trying to help myself relax but also compliment the running I haven't been doing.
Next subject: my hip. I had my MRI and what was explained to me was that I have extra fluid in the joint, as well as the pelvic area. So... more tests and more doctor mumbo jumbo. My outdoor season was pretty much over at the beginning, but actually, I'm ok with that because I didn't need the running as much as I did last fall. And I'm at the point where I want my injury healed so I can run later. I want to do a marathon sometime soon....
I've also been job and apartment searching. Apartment=check. I have the two best roommates for next year and we sign the lease on Friday. Then it's finals and moving! Busy busy but great. My new place is across town from where I am at now, but it has carpet! I have been so tired of living on tile floor for the past years, if anything I really think the carpet is going to make it feel like a home. One of my roommates and I are already collecting pictures to cover our walls. It'll be good living with people again, and the three of us are all so individual, we'll have no problem getting along. As for the job, I had a phone interview this week with a bank, and I have an interview on Monday for a waitressing job. As much as I'd love the salary of the bank job, I'm afraid the hours aren't going to be the easiest to work with... and besides, my mom always says everyone needs a little food service experience. And I love people, and I love to write so a waitressing job somewhere will probably be perfect for me.
The new blog is slowly looking great. I haven't written on it yet, as promised, I'm waiting until summer... and when I do start, I'll link from here so you all have the new web address. Since my focus for my master's is in writing, I'm really hoping that my blog will be a place where I can focus on crafting my work instead of just randomly writing, but don't worry, that part of my writing won't completely disappear. I'll still be there. I just looking at it as a progression....
So friends, I hope life is wonderful where ever you are at! Find the good today and it will be...
