Ah YES! Hello Spring!
I love spring! I love spring because spring is before summer which I also LOVE! Exciting things tend to always happen in the summer, so I also look forward to the surprise that awaits me. I'm particularly excited about this summer because I will not have summer classes and I will officially be DONE with school! I am over joyed about ending this journey of school that started 20 years ago in kindergarden. I wish I could share a wonderful personal memory of when I first started school in kindergarden but sadly the only memories I have are sad ones. I remember the first day (and the only day) that I had to come home and tell my mom that I had to write my name on the board at school because another girl and I were pulling this boy by the legs during our free time. I have absolutely no idea why we were doing this, all I know is that another teacher (the mean kindergarden teachers) walked into the classroom the moment we started doing this and told us to go write our names on the board. This was a traumatizing experience for me due to the fact that I was the GOOD kid who always followed the rules. In fact, I remembered that I would go home everyday and tell my parents who all had written their name on the board at school that day. I remember getting in the car, hoping my mom wouldn't ask me whose names had been written on the board that day. I was devastated to admit that I had to write my name on the board. That is the one and only time I ever got in trouble in kindergarden. I also remember getting stung by a yellow jacket at school, another traumatizing experience. Other than that, I really don't have many memories from that year. It was 20 years ago and a lot had happen since then.
Even though the past 3 years in graduate school have been very trying and extremely different from undergraduate, I am very thankful that I went straight through and didn't take a break. This program has been very time demanding with having to do 1 semester doing a 100 hour practicum and two 300 hour internships. Not to mention the class load that tagged along with them. Since January 2012, I've had 6 day weeks of school and work. Sometimes I feel like it will almost feel like a vacation when I finally have a 5 day work week. Even though it's been tough, I've had an amazing support through my family and friends. They have all been so encouraging and have listened to me whine and complain my whole way through. They really have been such a blessing to me.
Today I woke up and went to church, then I spent my whole day at home. It was weird because this is the first time in months that I have willingly stayed home all day and spend the majority of the day relaxing. I did clean my room and get some laundry done, but for the most part I just relaxed and it was so nice! You know you're getting old when you spend a whole day at home and it makes you happy! As I was resting today, I was thinking about the next few months that are to come. I'm really excited because I have no idea what is to come after I graduate. I'm in the process of looking for a job and I'm keeping myself open to any location. Just the thought that I could move and start a whole new life somewhere is kind of exciting! But I'm also ok with staying in the north Georgia area. I just want to go where the Lord wants me to be. I'm also looking forward to some of the trips I have planned this summer! I'm going to the beach with my family in May, going to New York with Shells in June, and I'm hopefully going to make it out to Colorado to see the lovely Melissa this summer too! I really have a travel bug right now. Going out to visit Melissa in Arizona awakened the passion and love I have for traveling! No matter where I end up with work, I'm planning on going on as many trips as I possibly can. I really want to go and experience other states and other countries! It's such a fun adventure to part take in right now! But for now, I'll look forward to what I already have planned and wait for the other exciting things the Lord has in store for me in the future!
Just 2 MORE WEEKS!!! EEEK!!! :-)
