I can't sit still. I hate anxiety. I'm starting to get really overwhelmed with all that I'm doing. Maybe it wasn't wise for me to take the SI job. I feel miserable right now cause I'm working two jobs and trying to stay on top of school work. If I had it my way, I wouldn't have to work...but that will never happen. With all that said, I really do enjoy being able to help the students that come to my sessions and I do enjoy the people I work with at Addam's. I guess I feel like I'm missing out on life cause I'm always working and don't have time to cut back and chill without feeling like I need to be doing school work.

A Day Off

Today has been a day off of work and school. So far, so good. I've actually got time to catch up on life happening around me and I'm getting things done that I haven't had time to get done over the past 2 weeks. Last night we had a surprise party for Laura's birthday because we love her and wanted her to know that she is loved a few days earlier than her actual birthday. I loved that we had so many people at our apartment last night and we all enjoyed ourselves. I am truly blessed with the people that are in my life even those who are really far away from me. Although I miss those who are far away, I think about them daily because knowing them have helped to make me who I am and will be in the future. Everyone who has ever given me the time of day and cared about me, have helped me know that I am an important part of this world. I can't believe that I once thought that the world would be better off without me.....such a lie from the enemy. I read something today that moved something within my heart and restored faith within my being that there are honest and true people out there and that what I was apart of this summer (and still am) is VERY important.

This week is the organization fair and I'm extra excited this year because the Shack is going to be giving out To Write Love cards and they're excited about giving them out to students.

Well that's all I've got for now. There is a lot to get done today and I'm so glad that I've got the time to get it done. OH one last thing.....my Saturn has been fixed and I am now enjoying being able to drive it once again. Clover (my car) is alive!!!!!

Social Vibe

New School Year

With the new school year approaching there is a lot of change going on around me. Change can be a great thing, if it is positive. Most of the change that is occurring at the moment is great, I have wonderful new roomies and I'm actually looking forward to the semester. I start a new job tomorrow, well I have training for my SI position for Psyc 227 and I'm hoping that job doesn't add to my stress level. I'm still working at Addam's and we've recently had new employees join us for back to school rush and football session (so far no major problems have risen). I'm taking 4 classes and I just feel like the change from last school year to this school year is going to be a good one. I have grown so much this summer and so have the people that I have in my life which makes me supper excited. I have come so far from when I was 19 and with the help of a new counselor after next week I plan to work on relying on God more instead of using people as my crutch. I hope all the change in my life is for the better. Speaking of change, I have a new used car and I am dying my hair currently (waiting on it to set in). Things to add to all the changing going on as I start the new school year would be exercise and eating healthy. If anyone would like to help with either of those that would be awesome. Until next time. :-)

It's been a while I know

I have the most amazing roommates!!!! I can't wait for this year to get underway and to get to know these ladies even better. We've already had a great time living together and we've only been together for a day. These girls are amazing in their own way and I hope that we will always be good friends. The apartment looks a little different and we each have our little own spin of making things work. Well I'll post later cause we're going to Target and I'm getting hair dye. Oh the adventures to be had.

Last Day

The time has flown bye and I'm leaving in a few hours. I can't believe that it's my last day. I feel like I have all the time in the world to get some things done, but I really don't. I'll probably cry most of the way back to my parents' house. The people here, like I've said before, mean so much to me. :-)

Moving

Today I helped one of my "bosses" move his family from this side of town to the other side of town...well a few miles away. Although I am extremely tired and will be sore for the next couple of days, I'm glad that I had the opportunity to help them move. It rained quite a bit today and we ended up riding in the back of a UHaul with the latch open, it was more fun that it sounds most likely. It feels strange that in a matter of 24 hours I will be on my way to Ocala for a couple of days before heading back to Columbia for work and school. Well I'm off to get some free dinner cause I helped move and then I've got a few notes to write for the people here. Tomorrow I will have my car packed in the morning, work a little, then we're going to dinner at Chili's for one last get together before I have to say goodbye. I hope that this will not be a final goodbye and that I will have these people be a part of my life for quite some time. To me, TWLOHA means family.
