The Future

The future it doesn't seem that far off these days. I'm getting more and more unsure about what I want to do after college, which i know usually happens to people, but at this point that scares me. I talked to Kevin our campus pastor for Chi Alpha and he is really encouraging me to take a year to do an Internship with Chi Alpha. However, this involves totally being focused completely with Chi Alpha and not work or school. I could do it the year before grad school or the year after grad school and at this point I think it might be smarter to do it in between. I have about a year to think about it though so keep that in your prayers. Next year I am planning on being a CA in the dorms and going back to Morrison. I think that being on the International floor would be a great opportunity to share what I have learned about living on your own, and I'd get to cook a lot. Anyways those are my future options. Today I am content with school and homework filling my day. Plus a little bible study where I have breaks.

Christmas 2010

I'm so excited to sing for big church tomorrow.. Christmas these last couple days has been great.. I got a few gift cards which will be nice to use later when I go back to school, and got to hang out with some awesome family.

Africa

So today in disabilities the head of the department came to tell us about an opportunity to go to Africa and I actually really really really want to go. It came out of no where and I've been debating since the end of last years trip if I'm going to be returning. I'm going to put my name in as interested tomorrow morning. It is $4,000 dollars for the trip plus summer tuition and it counts as 10 credits. My capstone 5 credits for my disabilities certificate and also 5 credits hopefully as an independent studies credit for CDEP. There is only room for 10 people to go, 5 boys 5 girls and then the department head will be with us as well as his wife. We will be staying in a three bedroom house (one for boys one for girls and one for teachers) with 2 bath, no air conditioning (80ish degrees plus in the 80s for humidity) electricity will be limited and there most likely wont be hot water. It will be at the end of August til the beginning of September about 3 weeks. Please pray for me and my possibly going to this trip.

first couple days!

This year I am a mentor in the resident halls, which means I assist two different CAs (RAs) in whatever they need doing. As a result I get a room to myself which I have found very nice so far. I still live on an Arts Living Learning Community and am enjoying myself there. I have an interview on tuesday for dining services and I'm not sure if I want the job anymore because I have a lot on my plate, but we'll see. We won our football game today and it was awesome. Yeah so life's great thus far, we will see how it goes when classes pick up as well :)

school soon approaching

So the big move in will be the 15th but it seems like almost everyone on my floor from last year will be moving in early. So I don't think I'll have much of a break when I'm moving into my room. As for now I'm just hanging out and packing and making door decorations for the residents. For the first time in a long time I am actually excited for school to start, I've had a long time at home again this year and I'm ready to get the school year started. That's my life update.. stay tuned.

CAMP 2010

Summer has started and staff training is over at Sound View, we have our first camp with just kiddos tomorrow and family camp ended today. This years staff is amazing and positive and I'm so excited to see what God is going to do with all of us. I'm doing well but hopefully my knee will be able to stand up to the challenge of camp terrain. That's all I have for right now, I hope everyone is doing well!

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend I will be packing, working on group projects, and hopefully getting close to finishing Micaela's surprise scrapbook while she's on a rafting trip with EPIC. We just played an awesome game of spoons and I won! woohoo! Planning on being a counselor this summer at Sound View Camp once again and I'm so pumped for school to end for the year. Oh I'm also the LLC Mentor for next year so I get to help the freshmen transfer from home to college, should be fun. Hopefully in the week that I have between moving out of the dorms and moving into camp I will be able to get my drivers license cuz it's annoying not to have it, but who know if that will work because of timing and Tahoma still being in school.
