I am going to start a "bucket list".
Not right now. But over break. When I have to sit and drink coffee in a coffee shop for pleasure. Look for it!

Indeed it happened ...
... I forgot all about this thing. I am terrible.
I just finished with my last day of college classes, forever. Well, until I decided to go back and receive my Masters which after this past week and the work load I've been trudging through might be never. And I'm fine with that! Until I get restless and want something more for my life.
I am also sitting at work, which will be all over tomorrow as well. Next semester will be a new adventure with nothing old in it. No school work, no campus job, no InterVarsity. Just new-ness. My feelings on this are more like an Oreo. On the surface level, I am jumping for joy and am nearly on the brink of tears I am so excited. In the middle I am rather surreal and unsure about what to expect. I have grown rather used to syllabi, assignments, and lectures. Then if you go even deeper, I am back to jumping for joy. So there you have it, my future plans is an Oreo.
Today at lunch it was brought up that even teachers are having a hard time finding jobs due to the economy. Is this even possible? I thought teachers and nurses were the two more guaranteed jobs in our society. While everyone else was stressing and complaining, I heard this reassuring voice, "I will take care of you. Trust Me." As much as I get stressed out about things and overworked, I really am not as stressed compared to others. Over the semester I have slowly been learning what it means to be Christian in this demanding, time consuming, stressful society. I know I still have a long way to go before I stop crying endlessly over tiny details like notebook cover sheets and ribbon for wedding programs but today, I took a small step toward that relaxing, peaceful, joyful life God promises us. I heard Him speak that gentle, loving thought to me and I knew it was God and I just kept right on eating my peanut butter sandwich while everyone else's blood pressure began to rise at the thought of being jobless come August.

A New Start
I'm not sure why I listened to my roommate when she commented on my lack of blogging. But I did. And I was thoughtlessly inspired to create, yet again, a new blog. We shall see how long I keep this one up.
It's nearing the end of the semester and I am definetly ready for a new start. I'm done with classes, done with work, done with professors. I keep hearing from the ones who've gone on to graduate already that I should not wish this time away, the real world is not much better. I guess that doesn't leave me much to look forward to now does it? Well despite what I am told, I am still ready for a change of pace and atmosphere. No more 3 hours classes! No more Curry building! No more useless, waste of time lesson plans (that everyone, including your professors, know you will never teach)!
