For those
who are wondering...I have an interview with Pendley tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Prayers would be much appreciated!
Could this be the long-awaited answer
to prayer?!?! I am really trying not to get ahead of myself. It's a huge answer
to prayer just to get an interview. Thank you, Lord! So we shall see
tomorrow...
I finally
got things settled in the apartment. I am far from unpacked, but at least
things are clean, fixed, and cool. God has made me realize how incredibly
spoiled I am to have air conditioning. I guess moving into an apartment that
lacks a/c will do that to you. Let's just say I won't take it for granted
anymore. I am finally financially settled. God provided a sweet lady in the FA
office who took the time to walk over and hand deliver paperwork so that I
could be settled in time. I unfortunately found out that my work-study money
for the summer ran out this past weekend, so I have not been able to work this
week like I had originally planned. While that money would have been helpful,
it has been a blessing in disguise because now I have the week free for things
like interviews, unpacking, meeting repairmen at the apartment, etc. It's cool
how God takes care of us in the little things we don't even ask for.
I
finished my spanish class today. I will never have to take another spanish
class again in my life! I have been taking spanish since I was
in 5th grade so I should be fluent, but sadly am not. So any plans of becoming
fluent will have to be realized through an international experience. I'm still
hoping that God allows that some day. I am glad that summer school in general
is over. 8 o'clocks all summer has not been my favorite experience. But God
pulled me through and I'm fine. I will have the rest of this week to get
settled and rest before the craziness of senior year begins...
I will be
leading a Welcome Week group- the "Sic 'em Bears" group, to be exact. I
get to have crazy fun with freshmen for a week and I am getting really excited
about it.
Classes
start the 21st and I am taking 18 hours (yikes!) But the fun part is that all
of my classes are my major classes, so I will only have to be in class for
things I am interested in.
I will be
working...and hopefully that work will be my internship. I'll have to get back
to you on that one...
The BEST
program starts this semester. Our syllabus was posted a couple of weeks ago and
there is so much planned for this semester: meetings with CEO's, company
visits, mock interviews, etc. Dr. Artz has already had requests from
several companies for the BEST students' resumes. I am told that BEST students
graduate with 10-15 job offers. This makes me very happy. I am praying about running for BEST
class CEO...LOL. That would be amazing. But the really fun part is the team
building and international trip. We are missing the first Friday of classes to
go do the ropes course and have dinner as a class- how fun is that?!?! I am so
excited to meet these people. And of course, who can forget the trip to Prague
I'll
still continue at BSF and I am pumped about the Romans study. I read Romans
this summer to get a head-start...and an in-depth study of this book is right
up my ally. It's going to be challenging, but I know it will stretch my faith.
I will
also be leading a Community Group this year at Highland
My good
friend Nicki got engaged this summer and I have the honor of being a
bridesmaid! So that means fun times wedding planning, dress shopping, bridal
showers, girly time, etc.
And of
course I will be having a blast with my amazing roomies in our new
apartment
So can we say "busy semester"?
Haha. But I am really looking forward to it. Not only because its my SENIOR
year, but also because God has blessed me with the opportunity to do and be a
part of some pretty cool stuff. After this summer, I can't wait to see what He
has in store for me this year. I am plunging into the
chaos with an open heart to what my Savior has waiting for me...
