AHH! i can't believe ive made it this far. school is almost over. one more semester until graduation...unless i choose to continue my education. i havent really decided what i wanted to do yet. or where i want to end up.
here are some places im considering living next year:
minnesota
north carolina
oregon
new york/new jersey
(notice how all these places have seasons...yeah...)
im seriously ripping out my hair because i have no idea what im doing. and trust me, im praying about it so much. but seriously, im 20. usually that means you are supposed to have some idea of what you are supposed to be doing. but no. not a clue.
haha i know, i know. you will tell me i have time to figure it out. im sure i will but its frustrating right now. hmmm.
3 of your places are all places Emily and I would like to live someday. As far as not knowing what you want to do...just look at me. i've been all over the place and have done a couple things already. the fact that you're praying about it a lot is going to make whatever happens the right thing for you. you will make the best of whatever you find yourself doing. Trust in God...trust me, it works. and trust me, too, when i say you mean more to me than i've probably ever expressed :)
Guess what? There are about 11-12 days of class left with 4 days of finals and then im officially finished with my freshmen year of college...yeah i cant believe it either.
haha and now is the time to start thinking about my summer. i have no idea what im going to do! i want to find a job but i think itll be pretty hard finding one. hmm. i think i already know what im doing the last two weeks, JAMAICA (mission trip?) so that should be fun and something to look forward to but until then, ?. i would really like to travel! but who knows, any ideas? lol
on another note. ive been going to my adviser who is trying to help me figure out a major. boy, thats hard! can anyone think of anything im good at?
next year, obviously, im planning on coming back to FC. ive already signed up for classes but its stressing me out that i cant find a roommate!! i waited too long to try and find one...it'll be hard getting a room in the NEW DORM when im single. but i think itll work out, everything always does i guess. after FC i have no idea what im planning on...sigh
i have been blessed with knowing so many people who dont go to FC here. its nice having other people close to my age to talk to who arent in the FC bubble.
Thanks! Most of the christian girls I know either are not my age, not going to F.C., or both. I bet Kaitlin will take care of me though. ;-} It was nice talking to you the other day.
so here i am. on a friday night. second semester at FC. so what do i do? update pleo, DUH!...anyways. second semester is going pretty good so far. i had to take more credits this semester because i didnt take a lot last semester and i wanted to catch up. a list of classes im taking: bible, personal finance, english, psychology, precalc trig, humanities, and bowling 2. there are things i like about each and every one of these classes but they are definitely hard. so i bet a lot of you are wondering if i still like it at FC. i think that would be a yes. ive met so many wonderful people and made so many great memories. if someone were to ask me if it was worth it to go here, i think id say yes. though i am thinking about transferring. maybe to USF or the U of M. im not sure about the future these days. except that our FC lectures are coming up and yes im excited about the extra 1000 people on campus but im not excited about everyone having to move their car to the gym. thats going to be craziness. anyone who's coming to lectures get ready to be amazed!...so that was an update of FC.
update on my life:
currently single, haha story of my life. i guess ill say that if you are coming down to FC to find your m.r.s. degree well, ha. it might happen for you but it definitely has not happened for me. i dont think id like dating an FC guy because of the thing that is "the rumor mill". seriously, if you even like someone the rumors start flying and its just insane.
--i miss home--and the cold--and everything about minnesota--
its such a change going from like -25 degree weather to 75 degree weather...and personally, i dont like it. so if you ever hope to find me in a few years, ill definitely be somewhere up north.
life questions im pondering at the moment:
*will i find someone that i want to marry...
**will i ever figure out my major or what i want to do with my life...
***why do bad things happen (i sort of already know the answer to this question but im still thinking about it nonetheless.)...
things (not questions) im pondering at the moment:
*the past...
i know you're supposed to move on from your past or learn from it. but there are some things that just stay with you, whether you want them to or not. sometimes you think you've dealt with something but it turns out all you did was avoid it.
well i dont know if anyone will read this anytime soon. but if you did read it all and have come to this point i congratulate you on wasting, however long it took you to read this, time.
--_--___-_--___-__LiVE LiFE & LOVE--___---__--_-__-_--___
wow...so that was quite an update. i miss the north, too, in the winter. as crazy as it sounds, i miss snow...badly!!! i'm super glad you're considering going to jamaica. not sure if i can go, but jeff will be there, and burt and crystal who you met at 1000Voices.
and about the pondering thing...my only advice really is to try not to ponder too much. i like your art at the end of the blog. maybe you should add "TODAY" Jesus wasn't kidding around when He told us to not to worry about tomorrow. it'll take care of itself.
Nothing wrong with being single, although I understand the questioning because I was once there. I pray you'll find someone wonderful to marry. Someone who will help lead you to Heaven and vice versa.
Home misses you too.
I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to major in too and about the time I figured it out I had already moved onto what I really wanted to do...wife and mommy! I would have chosen to be a nurse. Pretty good pay, can work anywhere, great knowledge for when you have a family of your own, and I liked helping people. I always wanted to work with babies & kids.
Guess what? I've bought you 2 things in the last week! I'll mail one out this week, but the other won't arrive until late Feb or early Mar!
That's enough of a novel for now. Call me if you ever want/need to chat! Love you! I cannot wait to see you in March. Maybe we'll actually have time to go through all of your pictures this time.
hey you! don't stress too much, enjoy your life while it is yours & yours alone, once you have a husband & family, you might miss some "alone" time
: )
i am 31(almost 32) married for almost 8 years & have an almost 6 year old child & there are still days i don't know what to do with my life...you're not alone.
i want to send you a lil' something, maybe some happy mail will cheer you up!! : D
By the way, what part of Minnesota do you girls live in?
It looks like we will be moving to the Minneapolis area soon and I was wondering if you worship around there or know of any congregations.
hey congratulations Auntie. You liking it down there...who's the roomie...Hey, while your down there at FC you have my permission to give Ashley a hard time. And you can tell her I said so.
