Fried!

My brain hurts.

39 days.

Starting on Friday, I'll be pretty free for the next two weeks to actually have some down time!

Gotta push through!!

As soon as I find some free time...I'm watching some freaking Full House!! Heck yea!

Responsibility.

My mom works at a day care teaching two year olds. The character quality that they are learning for this month is "responsible". Last month my mom and I were chatting on the phone and we were trying to come up with a simplified definition of the word "responsible". Here's what we came up with...

Responsible: Doing what I know I should do, even when I don't want too.

Pretty good, eh? I think it pretty much sums it up. In my case...I need to be responsible as I enter the last few weeks of the semester so that I can get all my work done. I am having to do what I know I should do...homework...even when I don't want too.

My current responsibilities include:

• Genetics
• Population Community Ecology
• Senior Seminar Project
  
• Decorative and Wearable Arts (including various craft projects)
  
• Senior Bonner Internship in the Lifeworks office
  
• among various other long term responsibilities to myself, my family, my friends, and God.

Things I have to do before I can graduate (in no particular order):

• Correct Population Community Ecology (PCE) Paper
• Write a second PCE Paper
• Write the remaining reading reports for PCE
• Two more tests and finals in PCE
  
• Finish Senior Seminar Experiment
• Finish Senior Seminar Short Film
  
• Write Senior Seminar Paper
• Senior Seminar presentation
• Senior Seminar poster
  
• Two more tests and finals in Genetics
  
• Make a purse for Decorative and Wearable Arts (DWA)
  
• Refurbish an old purse for DWA
  
• Plan a tree planting for earth day for Lifeworks
  
• Finish the senior bonner handbook for the senior class
• Bonner Banquet presentation

Am I forgetting anything? Yikes....so much to do...only 45 days to do it in!

I'm feeling pretty ok about it all today...we'll see how I feel tomorrow though.


Here's a much happier list....

Things I'd rather be doing:

• Spending time with friends that I won't always have around :(
• Hanging out with Megan Anderson!
  
• Spending time with aquaintances I always meant to hang out with more
• Cleaning and organizing my room (seriously lol)
• Making sure everyone I know here at Mars Hill knows how much they've meant to me
• Enjoying my last weeks as a college student
• Spending time with my nephew
• Reading
• Watching Full House
• Making cards for all the friends I'll miss terribly
• Enjoying spring
• Going to Looking Glass Falls and Sliding Rock one last time!
• Being silly
• Appreciating/encouraging/building up my friends
  

All of this is kinda on hold until further notice. Unfortunately some things are time sensative like once I do have time...it will be too late. I just hope I can get enough quality time in with all the important people in between all the work I have to do.

Oh how I love my list making... :)

What to Expect from My Blog...

Since I'm in the beginning stages of this blog...let me just say a few words about what to expect fro my blog. I'm a senior in college about to graduate--I'm excited about life and all the possibilities it has for me. This is my journey into adulthood, into the real world, while still holding onto my child-like/innocent personality.

I'm all about all things positive: positive living, motivation, hope, dreams, morality, family values, encouragement, good clean substance free fun, redeeming the time, making the most of my situation, purity, staying young, living life on purpose, stepping our of my comfort zone, living an epic life, finding the good in every situation, keeping an open mind, trying new things, and just about anything else that has defined me as eternally optimistic. I'm a Christian, I'm obsessed with Disney, and I love Full House. This is where I'm at, These are the things I love and endorse.

I plan to write many blog posts that will either be in the form of ideas on how to improve, brighten, or get motivated your own life or merely happenings from my life that I hope will be an encouragement to others as they follow me through my journey.

These are the kinds of blogs you can expect from me. =)
