Do you ever just get itching to post something, even though you
really have nothing to post about? Ya I am in one of those tonight... it might
be because I have a lot of homework to do but really don't want to do it! ha!
Story of my life!
Soooo I'll just update you on what's been going
on!
Well for starters school ends in TWO weeks!
Holy moly! I still cannot believe it! Then I will be DONE with school for five
months...which is a really long time but I never complain about not having
homework! Finals are quickly approaching and all I want to do is watch 24 with
Erica, (yes I'm into that show again...even though I've already watched every
season! It's that good!) And get on Pinterest and imagine myself one day being
a DIY'er...
P.S. I just learned what that stood for like a
week ago (do it yourself) And this is why I am going to college!
Anyways, I am working my hardest but it begins
to ware on an English major after writing 30+ papers in 6 months...it's a rough
life, but one that I'll appreciate later!
Summer plans! Ok so let's back-up a few months! I wanted to do something that would allow me to
have a new and exciting experience this Summer! I thought about doing EFY
(Especially For Youth). I went to the interview, met some cool people and was
told I would hear back in 3-8 weeks either way, meaning even if we didn't get
the job we would still be notified...that's a long time if you ask me. But they
said they interview 1200 and accept 600 so I guess they need time or whatever.
Anyway I had a girl in a class that interviewed as well, and every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday we would ask if either of us had heard any news...we never
did. Ok so here we are 8 weeks in, and no news. So I was offered a job at the
after school program where I am currently doing practicum. I thought sure, it
would be some extra money, and give me more experience with the kids. So right
after I started working they needed to know for sure how long I would be
staying, til the end of their school year, or mine. Well EFY would start in the
end of April beginning of May so I did not really know because I had no answer
on the EFY job. After talking with my Mom and really thinking about what I
wanted to do I decided to stay with the after school job and move home for the
Summer!
A part of me is a little bummed because I
really wanted to prove to myself that I could do something I had never done
before, step out of my comfort zone which I don't like to do at all, and I knew
that EFY would be an AMAZING experience!
However, I am really glad I'm not going because
of several things:
1. I have a lot of friends coming home from
their missions this Summer that I want to be there for. EFY is not every week
but I didn't want to be trying to figure out schedules and traveling and not be
able to be there when they came home.
2. Holli is all by herself for 7+ months out of
the year...ok I deserve an honor or something for saying this...I feel bad for
her because the rest of us always had someone home to hang out with. We are all
within 3 years of each other, and really close. Holli is 6 years younger than
me and has my wonderful, yet slightly older, compared to a 15 year old of
course, parents to hang out with. I would be gone a lot during the Summer and I
don't want Holli to be bored to tears her entire Summer. Although even though I
am saying this, let's face it all Holli will want to do this Summer is take
naps...it's a hobby she has mastered!
3. My best friend is getting MARRIED! Holy moly
I still can't believe it! Remember these two? The most adorable couple on the
planet? Ya they got engaged and I don't want to worry about scheduling, and
missing out on some of our last moments as being kids! Because she is going to
be a grown up pretty soon...tear, tear, sniff, sniff. But I am SO SO SO SO
happy for her! Her ring is gorgeous and they make the most perfect couple!
Insane!
I have a lot of good reasons to stay! Family,
friends, and plenty of adventure!
Now these two weeks can zip by and I'll be
good!
