Well hello there 2010... It's nice to meet you. I hope we have a lot of fun together this year!
My trip to Minnesota for New Years was great, but there's no place like home... I must admit. It was wonderful to spend some quality time with my brother and his girl friend Allison... it was also comforting to spend time with friends from High School... which seems like such a long time ago... even though it wasn't.
Spring 2010 semester has commenced.. surprisingly well. I'm taking Concepts of Geometry (an education class), Cultural Anthropology, Teaching People Other Cultures, and an Integrated Science course (also an education class). My science class is already causing me to curse it silently... it seems to be making its way into my 'dread' list already; a list that I pride myself on keeping short. It's a Saturday morning class from 8:30am to 12:30pm and is followed by working 3-9pm which makes for one long day! I've never been a fan of Science, though I do find Earth Science and Biology extremely interesting. However, once you throw math into the mix, count me out please. I request much prayer for patience and understanding for this class!! lol
Life outside of work, school, and my mister is pretty much non-existent... I don't have much time for anything else. I find myself using my free time for crazy things like sleeping, eating, and doing laundry. I hate that I don't have more time for friends and family but I keep reminding myself this is something I HAVE to do and that one day it will pay off. Yes... pay off indeed... pay off by working long hours with screaming/hormonal preteens, dealing with over zealous administrators, and taking home not much more money than i make now as a part time waitress at a burger joint... I honestly cant wait. =-)
I dont believe in making new years resolutions but I will list some things i WONT do this year:
* I wont diet or worry about my weight in any form.
* I wont worry about others perceptions of me..... as much.
* I wont dwell on a relationship that should have ended 2 years sooner than it did.
* I wont spend more time interacting with the digital world than the real one.
* I wont spend more time watching TV and/or Facebooking than I will studying/doing homework.
* I wont limit my reading to only required text.. I wont feel bad indulging in mindless, pointless novels and murder mysteries.
* I wont let anyone make me feel belittled or unimportant based on things that i'm not.
Here is to a bright future year that I hope is full of happiness, health, success, and peace.
