Home Sweet Home

I know. I know. I said that I would continue updating my blog and I must say that I've been procrastinating for quite some time. I suppose I wonder who will continue to keep up with my life now that I'm living the same life (or a similar life) to many other college students. Working, going to school, studying, working some more. That's basically how my days go. BUT I do have some exciting news once in a while and perhaps I'll also have some funny stories to share.

First- I've been home for the last 3 weeks and I have honestly been loving every single minute. I have missed my family so much and I think that the time that I spent away from all of them made me realize all that I have to be thankful for. I have been so blessed to be able to be with all of my siblings these last few weeks.

My Christmas was great and I especially enjoyed the fact that it was on a Sunday this year. I think that as hard as everyone tries, we sometimes forget the true meaning of Christmas. I love the Christmas season and everything that comes with it. I was so grateful to be able to spend that time with my family.

Anyway, my plans for this semester is to work and go to school. I am currently signed up for 12 credits. I'm taking Ethics and Values, Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships, Marriage and Relationship Skills, and Abnormal Psychology. Can I just say how great it is to finally get into your degree and lean things that you actually want to learn about as opposed to some random class because of a requirement.

After weeks of job hunting (which I absolutely detest), I finally got a job offer today that I'm really looking forward to. It's a Instructor Assistant job for a Psychology professor in my University. Basically, I grade papers for the duration of the semester. The greatest part about this job is the good pay as well as the fact that I can choose my own hours and work from home. That is really the perfect job for me, and I'm really excited about it.

I also have another job offer that I'm waiting on that I hope I get as well. Though working two jobs and going to school will be crazy and incredibly busy, I'm not worried about the workload.

So, that's what's going on in my life right now. It's going to be a crazy semester. But, I know that if I use my time wisely and rely on the Lord, I can do anything I set my mind to. I am so thankful for the many blessings in my life. I truly can tell the difference in my life when I'm closer to the Lord and when I'm not.
