Last Thursday I was able to go to a Kelly Clarkson/Maroon 5 concert with Laura in the Woodlands. Although it was a late night and involved a lot of driving and hopping on crutches, we had a BLAST. The time we get to spend together is so rare, that we always have an incredible time when we do get to see each other.
Friday I got to go home, and was able to relax there until Sunday morning. I was SO in need of a weekend where I didn't have to do anything!
Monday and Tuesday were categorized by super late nights. Like, 4 AM kinda nights. I had a math test Wednesday, so spent all of those days learning the material in the hopes that I would start the semester off on a good test grade!
I also had a paper and a project due Wednesday. So yeah, by Wednesday I was EXHAUSTED!
And Wednesday was an interesting day to say the least:
- I learned that 2 year olds change moods quicker than Texas changes seasons
- I got cursed at by a professor for asking a question. I didn't even know how to respond.
- I had to pull in a lane where a D1 swimmer was swimming and was supposed to maintain his intervals. HA.
- I mixed up body wash and shampoo. Let's just say my hair had an interesting texture for the remainder of the day.
- I fell asleep on the bus and missed my stop so had to ride the route again.
I had an advising appointment on Thursday to figure out classes for the spring semester. Every other semester my advisor has tried to convince me that it was necessary to take summer school in order to graduate on time, and every year I have convinced her that I will take 16 hours during the fall and spring because I spend all summer at camp. For the first time in 3 years my advisor goes "You are right on track to graduate! I can't even suggest a class for you to take this summer. Have fun at camp!" Insane course loads are paying off! In the spring I will only be taking 15 hours, and be spending an entire day in the classroom as a part of Junior Methods. Fall 2014 I will only be taking 12 hours and spending 2 days in the classroom for Senior Methods. Then Spring 2015 will be student teaching. CRAZY!
I also went back to the doctor on Thursday and was allowed off crutches! I'm supposed to wear shoes that have a decent amount of support in them until the bruising goes down, but other than that I'm good to go! And can get back in and practice with my team on Monday!
Thursday night before practice our team got together to create a motivational video for Sport Clubs as part of a challenge from our advisors. It was supposed to be a spin off of the Kid President videos, and could only be 10 seconds long. This is what we came up with:
Friday I worked on homework all day, and then Rachel's freshmen (she is an exec director of a freshmen leadership organization, so she has 9 freshmen babies this year) came over for dinner and a movie night. I helped Rachel finish serving the spaghetti and cleaning up the kitchen, enjoyed supper with everybody, then went back to my room to do more homework. Super exciting, I know.
And that brings us to today. I woke up and made cinnamon rolls, and am spending the afternoon working on homework. Then tonight the polo team has been invited over to watch the game and hang out! Should be fun!
All in all, my life is crazy. It's insanely busy. But I wouldn't trade any part of it and I love getting to see what the Father is teaching me in all these different aspects of my life!
