Wow, so I havent updated in forever.. whoops!

Well, despite everything this semester(which I could write a book on) life is going well. I am getting ready to graduate, Lord willing I pass all my classes, and then Im headed to UTC for grad school in the Community Counseling program. How exciting! And so scary! I just signed the Lease to my new apartment in Chattanooga. Which was a pretty scary thing. Its right next to the mall and everything I could need, as well as a church I think I might like to attend. Oh, and I got my key and pool pass. Haha. Yeah I think I have made the right decision. In my heart I think I knew it was where I wanted/would end up, but my rationalizing and over analytical side had to make sure that I was make the decision for the right reasons and was what God wanted for me as well. So many things have fallen into place since my first leap towards chattanooga. I had received any call backs from any companies about jobs until the day after I put a down-payment on an apartment. Coiencidence? I have no idea...

I have had one bad job interviewing experience, but I have another one with Youth Villages tomorrow so I am hoping that it goes much better. I really hope I get the job with YV because it would be great experience, with a decent pay for my education/experience background, and really good benefits.. like paying for grad school tuition! How can I go wrong?! Lord willing things will go well tomorrow!

Things with family and friends are going well. Everyday in a new day and I am just taking things one day at a time! I have recently gotten back into painting, and I forget how much I enjoy it! I definitely will have to do more, and for myself. Im learning the importance of finding/making time for yourself. It becomes easy to lose yourself with so much stress and stuff going on, but if you dont take time to take care of yourself then only bad things will happen. Trust me!

So yeah, tomorrow I have my LAST class of Undergrad ever! how sad and yet so exciting. It hasnt quite hit me yet, but Im sure it will soon. Then Friday I have to go to stupid driving school, and then I get to go on to Chattown and start painting and getting my apartment ready to move into! Then hopefully somewhere in there I will finish my two research papers. Ive started them both, but now I just gotta finish them.. haha. Otherwise I really dont graduate! Then monday I have one exam and tuesday i have two then Im done! Katie Mitch and Jacey will be in town this coming week and so they are going to help me move the red couch into my new apartment and maybe some of my other furniture. Then Thursday I have graduation rehearsal, and SATURDAY IS GRADUATION!!!!!!! How exciting and so scary! I just cannot believe it.

Life holds some very exciting and challenging times ahead, I just pray I keep God close to me and never lose sight of Him and my goals. If only there were words for all the emotions and general junk going on in my head!
