Sorry it's been so long

Well, if you have taken the time to check this blog on a regular basis, then I have failed you miserably. The end of the semester came in full force, and although I didn't have but one exam, I still had to finish up all my RA things before I left. So, in two weeks, I bought $250 worth of programming items and held 5 programs. My work paid off, but my blog took the punishment. So, now it's Christmas break, and I only have one semester left.

The past week has been a whirlwind of adventures. First, it was hard for me to start packing to come home and not to pack all my stuff, since I was supposed to be graduating this past Saturday. It was a good thing that my hall was empty and everyone was gone, because it meant that I could enjoy my tearful end to the semester. I came home and had a few days to bum out and relax, and then it was off to more traveling.

On Sunday afternoon, I left to head to the much anticipated Mercer Passport Staff reunion in Durham. It was great being able to catch up on everything that had gone on in the past six months. Laughing about old times and talking about the future was something that I really needed. Then it was off to Grennville, NC to visit my best friend, who I hadn't seen since September. Again, it was great just to be able to relax and catch up with friends and even make some new ones.

So, over the course of the next month I will be focusing on my thesis; getting it out of the way so next semester I am not scrambling until the end to try and get stuff done. Thanks for listening. I'm sure there will be more posts to come. Happy holidays.

The journey begins...

Well congratulations. You have stumbled upon my random thoughts. There have been a lot of things that have happened over the past few months that caused me to want to write them down. I know that you may find these ramblings very random. Sometimes I'll seem up and other times I'll be down. It just depends on what's going on in my life at the time. So, here we go.

The most recent thing that I have been dealing with is a possible career change. Ever since my sophomore year of high school I have thought that youth or children's ministry is something that I wanted to do. However, the past several weeks I have been considering going into student services or student development. This poses a lot of new challenges in my life: I have to take the GRE which I haven't even thought about taking; I have to find a job for the next year so I can study and take the GRE; finding a grad school that is the perfect fit for me is the biggest challenge of them all. It has been hard accepting the fact that this is what I want to do. While I feel like it is the right fit there are times when I wish I would have realized this earlier than I did.

However, the thing I keep telling myself is "Let go and let God." There are tons of opportunities for me to get through this time of indecision. So, hopefully the next few weeks and months will give me some sort of direction and calming. I am ready for the future. Let's being it on.
