A short freak out...just so you know going into the post what is coming.....

So I don't know if any of y'all experience this, but have you ever had that gripping feeling of panic that you can literally feel in your chest. You don't even have to be doing anything stressful, or even anything at all to get it. All it takes is one thought about everything coming up in the next few months of life and there it is. Grabbing you and making you concentrate on the problems that need solving but seem insurmountable. Yup, I am having one of those moments right now. I was just sitting at my desk in the office and doing some homework. I had finished all of my work for the afternoon and was told to study or read for the rest of my time. And all of the sudden, while I was reading "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" there it was: PANIC. The past week and in particular the past couple of days have been filled with questions and concerns about the future. While some were answered, thankfully, the answers brought with them a whole new set of questions. Ones that are bigger and even more nerve wracking than the old ones. AH!!

New Semester...

Well I am a week into Spring semester of my Junior year at Covenant. Now, I have been in school for four years but alas, I remain a junior for now. I must admit that, as much as I enjoy education and look forward to teaching, as of right now and this week, I am over the whole idea! Ok, so maybe I'm just tired. And probably in the next few days I will be back into the swing of things with school and work and life will be grand again. Hopefully!

This semester is shaping up to be a very busy one. I have 16 hours of class + 15 hours of workstudy + babysitting three afternoons a week! AH! But, it will all get done :-) I  am grateful for each of these things, though they do look intemidating when you combine all of them into one list. Also, the weather here is for sure gray and yuck. This is a problem. I don't have enough warm clothes for this to last much longer....HAHA wrong place for that, I know! But the Florida girl in me remains strong. I am sure I will be adjusted to the weather soon as well.

I am so glad to be back on my hall. I love that we laugh and do crazy things together. My roommate and I have already had plenty of nights that ended in giggling for no good reason. I love living on The Fritz where we love each other so well, in all ways. It has been a hard week and knowing that the girls on the hall are there to support and comfort each other is such a blessing. I know that I cannot take these relationship for granted. And now, it is time for me to go and get lunch before my class! Sorry this was a very disjointed update, but it is kind of an appropriate representation of my life these days! :-)
