Life hasn't been too eventful lately. Athough, things are starting to feel like they're really speeding up. Over the weekend I had more than one conversation about the upcoming months, especially May I will graduate on May 6, and then a couple weeks later my AWESOME friend Laura is sending me to see her in Texas!!!!! I am blessed with wonderful friends - lol. Of course, before May gets here I have to finish up school and look for a job. Yea...

Spring Break was a busy week of working and subbing. One day I subbed in a 5/6 gifted and talented class and the next day I was in a first grade class! Quite a difference... I did get to go to Beef and Boards that Friday night. It's a dinner theater place in Indy, and the show was called Phantom (different variation of Phantom of the Opera). We were sitting right on the floor, and it was a lot of fun! I went with some people from church...

I hate needing and wanting money... Summer is a hectic time at House of Prayer. My friends and I are already discussing a couple of trips and fun nights. However, I really need to be saving up for the coming months, and I have some things that I have to get for graduation. Sometimes it seems to be overwhelming.

I'm tired. I really didn't want to come to school today. I didn't have class yesterday, and after today I'm on Spring Break. I'm extremely thankful that the break is here! I need it. Although, I have so much to do... I know, I know... I need to stop complaining. Anyway, Mom and I rented Pride and Prejudice last night I'm going to buy it as soon as I can. I also watched Yours, Mine and Ours - pretty cute. Oh, and I'm addicted to the Sudoku puzzles!

What's it like to go on a real date? Rhetorical question. Just feeling sorry for myself...

One of my favorite movies in the whole wide world comes out on video tomorrow - Pride and Prejudice!!!! I would love to buy it, but we'll have to see... It is a wonderful love story with spunk and laughter. I have read the book a few times, and the movie does a good job with the plot and characters. I especially love (and envy) the end - Mrs. Darcy, Mrs. Darcy, Mrs. Darcy...

I have to be at work in half an hour... yea... Overall, though, I do like my job. I work at a pizzaria/grinder place. We have fun I like most of the people that I work with, and I know what I'm doing. It's hard for me to work somewhere when I have to learn all new things - it's stressful for me. And we all know how I handle stress!!! (I don't) I've decided that all of my part-time jobs (more than 12) have given me a portfolio full of different learning experiences, and I am able to apply the knowledge to new jobs. I've worked in restaurants, department stores, a factory, a cleaning company, a landscaping company, and a library. Not to mention a school.... and others! All of those experiences have added to who I am and what I know how to do. Anyway, I had better get to work

Well, my wonderful friend Autumn has requested that I update my blog Nothing much is happening. Spring Break begins a week from Monday, and I can't wait! I'm not going anywhere but I will be focusing on my job search. Plus, after the break I will no longer have one of my classes - that will be a brilliant help in dealing with the stress of life. Well, I really had better get back to my homework. I pray that God's blessings and love rain down in our lives today.

Well... three months and counting :) My life has consisted of school, work, and the pressing job search. I'm still technically in the research phase of looking for a job for the fall, but that phase will soon change into actively applying and contacting all those important people :) Please be praying with me... The Lord's will and nothing else!

The moments when my mind tends to wander are focused on the incomprehensible concept of change. My life will be drastically changing this year... And, there are many personal things that I would like to change, hopefully before I have to deal with all of the other life changes. Here is the thing: I don't handle change very well Oh well, guess I gotta learn sometime!

Hey Yes, I am alive! I didn't have access to Xanga while I was student teaching, and it was a bit of a hassle to make the trip to the library. Student teaching was awesome and at the same time the most stressful thing I have ever experienced. I will miss my kids and teacher immensely, but I am really looking forward to my last semester of college. I just told Tom last night that I can't believe I am going to be a college graduate... Exciting and terrifying... I am not sure yet what the Lord is directing me to do as to a job and such. I'm praying and researching about moving out of state, possibly toward South Carolina. I honestly don't know where He's going to put me. It's in His hands!!!!
