Well, it's no surprise...it's been a while. I guess that's just what happens when you get to be a senior in college and you've found a million other things to do instead of the work you should be doing. I guess that means I should've been blogging more since I've been so busy procrastinating, but I guess my time has been spent sleeping, counting the days til graduation, and hanging out with friends I may not see much after the next month. But really, who am I kidding? I am and always will be an over-achiever, and my version of procrastinating is everyone else's normal. It's not that I haven't done my work or skipped more class (although I have missed a day of work and a few classes because of some late nights), it's just that I absolutely don't want to do ANYTHING. And that in itself is the definition of senioritis I guess. But we're almost there. Only about 34 more days.
In the meantime, I'm officially going to grad school! Yay! After one extremely intimidating interview, one fantastic interview, and one that was more like a ten minute "we really want you to come to our school" talk, I have finally been accepted and chosen to continue my education as a marriage and family therapist at ETSU. It feels so good to finally know! I'm in the process of applying for assistantships, in hopes they'll offer to pay me to go to school, and until then it's just free sailing!
My brother comes home from Hawaii (yes, I know, rough life he leads) the day after I graduate, then I guess I"ll be moving to big ole Johnson City! I am SO ready to be out of college. I mean, it's great and all, but I just know I'm ready for something bigger and better. I'm tired of drama and hurt feelings and immaturity and other stuff. I just want to forge ahead in my career and continue gaining experience! I am just SO excited about life, and all that God has in store for me! I don't know the half of it, but he always has a great way of revealing it to me when the time is just right!
However, I have made some new friends and we went to the beach for spring break, and we've just had a blast going out this year and enjoying ourselves, something I feel like many seniors have forgotten how to do! I know this is my last chance, so I plan on doing it now! Life is in session! (just a funny quote from the movie "The Switch" with Jennifer Aniston. really cute movie..and she is brilliant as always). Jake is looking for jobs everywhere he can, but stiil is not sure where he's gonna be this summer or next year. I sure do hope it's close, because this whole long distance thing is for the birds, and I'm over it! His stepdad passed away early in March, so it's been a really difficult time, but we're making it. God is faithful as always.
Speaking of God being faithful...isn't he?? He always knows how to draw me to himself and when the exact moment is that my heart is ready to hear certain things. I am slowly realizing that although things in this life may be fun and fulfilling in the moment, none of it brings true joy, and it really is only temporary. Hence the feelings of emptiness and loneliness when I'm not investing myself in the Word like I should be. I'm telling you, it's legit. And totally worth allowing your life to revolve around it. It's the only thing that matters after all.
Excuse me while I go live life :)
