So much for keeping up with a new year's resolution, right?! Two posts in 10 months?! What can I say but college is busy, and being a student is even busier. There's always something to do and you can never seem to find free time, because it's quickly filled with work, homework, and for me random cleaning! My dorm has gotten to be such a mess on my half, it's chaotic!
As I was reading my post from January, I can say things are better in aspects. I have a job I ABSOLUTELY love, and I wouldn't want any other job right now. I work at Family Christian, it's a christian "retail" store. We sale bibles, and books, and movies, and kids' toys, and various gift items, the amount of stuff we have is crazy! And it's legally a nonprofit so everything that's purchased goes to orphan and widow ministries, and as employees we're required (after working there a year) to go on a mission's trip to the villages and other countries in which our 'profits' help. It's so incredible hearing some of the stories of my coworkers, once recently just getting back from Haiti!
And, my roommate this year is the greatest ever! We get along so well and have so much in common! I feel like we've been friends forever yet we've only known each other since moving into the dorms! It only took my three years to get a good one... Last week was her birthday, and of course she got lucky enough to have all classes cancelled, so I did as much as I could to keep it somewhat entertaining for her :) and I guess I did a fairly decent job as she said she had a great day.
And than there's the craziness of the college student schedule... classes, work, homework, tutoring, Cru. Oh my goodness does it seem crazy or what?! I suppose it doesn't sound too exhaustive of a list, but each piece entitles a lot of effort and time. Who knew being an adult could be so stressful, right?!
Oh, but I love my crazy life. And it's a lot easier now getting through it when I have help with making my moods normal. Depression I tell yeah.
I'm so incredibly blessed in my life, and especially after this weekend spent at Fallapalooza, I can really start to count my blessings. I'll be making a separate post about that in a bit. For now, it's off to hit the books and get ready for the week! I've only collectively had 8 hours of sleep over the last two days where I normally have 8-9 a night!
