The best semester of my LIFE!
This will undoubtedly be the best semester of my life! It seems like it was just yesterday I was enrolling in school at UNCC. I remember sitting in the OASES office speaking with a lady named Cricket about the origins of her name. I was 23 soon to be 24 and I felt so old at the time…..well look at me now! I thought this day would never come, One month after my 27th birthday I will have the privilege of walking across the stage once again, to receive my second bachelor’s degree. Every time I think about it I get so excited because I’m starting to get sneak preview’s into the next season of my life….which seems to be full of great things including:
- Getting out of the Carolinas (I believe God is having mercy on me…really!)
- Moving to the great city of Atlanta aka HOT-Lanta!
- Getting a great paying job
- Having a place ALL to myself (Yesssssssssss!)
- finally getting the pooch I’ve always wanted
- Getting ‘Shoo-li-mite’ up and running (Shoo-li-mite was birthed in Atlanta @IHOP)
- living close to the ‘House’ (House of Prayer…24 hour prayer room)
- Having great people around me
- Tailgate parties and college football games
- Great shopping (Lenox square)
- And God knows what else….
……I’m looking forward to good times in 2009! Thank you Jesus!
Rant: God-sibilities! (possibilities in God)
I am graduating in less than five months and I am super excited! One more big push and I will be done! I feel like i’m giving birth, and in a sense I am. I can’t wait to see where the Lord is going to take me. I was talking to my mother a few days ago and I told her “mom, I can do anything after I graduate. I could move to Alaska if I wanted to!” and she says, “you sure could honey, you can do anything you want!” That felt so good to hear. This makes hunting for a job a little more interesting;). I’ve thought about going back to Orlando or to Atlanta to spend some time @ the House of Prayer but we will just have to see. It’s really cool to be in this position. There is ONE thing I know for sure that I WILL do when I move and that is….GET A DOG! YaY! ( and a job of course). I have wanted a dog for so long and now my life will be steady enough for me to actually take care of one.
My internship is almost over (thank God). It’s tough having an extra job that your not getting paid for (talk about it!). I can’t wait to get free from that. In the mean time I am looking for another internship that PAYS so I can cut back at the Crack shack (No rhyme intended). I’m def. ready to do something different. I really enjoy marketing, however, I can not be stuck at a job that requires me to sit at a desk all day (just can’t do it). I’m really thankful that I had this internship so I could realize that. It’s just WAY to cold in most offices and I just don’t like it…the end! I also know that I have no desire to do anything that involves updating jacked-up database systems and sending out correspondence…..Not! Hey, here’s and idea…… maybe i’ll work on my shirts *ding!* , sounds like a plan.
The next session of summer school starts next week (not really looking forward to that). I will be taking business policy with an instructor ‘they’ said was really hard! (Great). I least I only have him for five weeks so….that’s not too bad I suppose. I still haven’t taken my vacay and I have every intention on doing that…I mean, it is summer…right?….RiiiiiiiiighT!!!
I think this is the first blog I ever wrote about my life. I don’t really intend on using my blog as a daily journal but whatever…I feel better now:-) Anneeeeee-ee-wayz, this is the end. I’m super excited for December and about the possibilities available when in route with G-O-D! ha!
Until next time *Curtains closing*
