changes all aroundSchool's out for the Summer. We at least @ baylor. lol. I've still got 10 weeks of an internship and masters level course @ UNT. OOH I live on the wild side of life. Summer break? whats that. lol. I go straight from a semester to summer school and work. Love it. My last Spring semester at Baylor ended very well - I've got over a 3.0 gpa (stinking rocks for jocks & poly sci prevented me frm having a 3.8) I still have my sanity & it wasn't to terrible. Bad case of senioritis but thats nothing new. I have my placement for my Fall semeester - I'm going to be at Bell's Hill elementary interning in a classroom with 7 Autistic kiddos. I'm way excited. I think I'm more excited at the fact that it will be my last semester of college. Feels just like yesterday that I came and started this adventure - I mean can't you tell my devotion to baylor I turned my 4 year undergrad into a 5 1/2 year adventure. Wonderful isn't it. Steve and I were talking about life after Baylor - my current plan is to move to Dallas & start grad school @ UNT after graduating in December. Course everything is subject to change. I think that is what is bothering me right now, I am a organizational planner, I like to plan, I like to know what the next step is or at least where I'm headed & after December 15th life is a big question mark right now and I can't plan towards anything and its driving me nuts. I'm really trying to regain my "free spiritedness" which has been clouded by the drive to succeed and not fail again - so that I just go with it. I'm excited & terrified and frustrated all at the same time. God is really working on me to trust him again, to put my faith in him that he's got a plan for meand that I just need to roll with it, he is the driver of my boat and I need to release what I think is control. Tough lesson to say the least. ;) We also talked about my career last night and where I want to go with it, I really enjoy doing private clinical early intervention work with kids with behavioral problems and or Autism. Kids with Autism fasinate me. They are so amazingly wonderful and unique - I love to watch them overcome and blossom. An the greatest thing is that I'm good at it, I'm good at this type of therapy - my profession is what I love and through that I Feel that God will bless me and I will be successful. I really don't know where God is going to take me, or this even but I'm excited & I want to follow him and run with it. So time will tell and we shall see what happens. So this May isn't as busy as last May but its def got some things going on - The 13th through the 17th I'm flying to Florida to visit my grandfather (he's sick with Cancer and they don't give him much longer) with Kelly. Well aparently my grandfather called the rest of his kids (3 from one marriage and 2 from another) and told them he wanted them all to come out. Ok to some this may not be a big deal but my uncles and my dad are in their late 30's early 40's and all 5 of them have NEVER been in the same room at the same time. So this is a huge deal - and I'm so excited that I get to be a part of it. So its amazing and I'm praying it goes well. Its a mixed emotional experience though, its amazing because they'll all be together but sad because this is the "goodbye" visit we've been dreading. So prayers are welcome. Then I'm moving the weekend I get back, I'll finally be out of that nasty apartment & all my stuff will be either in a storage bin in Palestine or in Steve's apartment. So that will be fun, I'm very ready to get out of that mold infested hell hole. lol. I'll stay in Palestine that entire next week and then on the 25 th Steve will come and get me and we will be headed to Memphis to meet up with his parents and visit. This will be the second time that I've seen them - so we'll see. I really do like them, its just hard to build a relationship when we're in Texas and they are in Ohio and we only see one another once a year. lol. We're hoping they come to Tx's for christmas this coming year - it would be awesome!!! I'm excited. Then we get back to celebrate my birthday & then I drive to Dallas to start summer school and work. Woohoooo. Life is so exciting. ;) Ok I guess I should do something productive since I'm at work. I'll update more later. |
