just sippin' on green tea.

well, hey.

being a college kid is starting to wear on me. i feel like i say, "i want to drop out of this joint." at least three times a week. i just have so many things going on and i don't do that well with stress, i guess. my classes are tough this semester. monday, wednesday, and thursday i have statistics at 9 am, followed by spanish, then i work at a preschool for 3 hours in the afternoon. tuesday and thursday i start with creative writing, spanish, and end with social psychology. i have 16 credit hour and i feel like that is enough, but not too much. but my professors really know how to lay down the homework. i shouldn't complain. this is God's plan for me, and underneath the whines i honestly love it here.

i recently changed my major for probably the 6th time. i think i'm finally set with what i want to do or i should be, there's no time to turn back now. i added speech pathology as my major and interpersonal relations as my minor. i'm so so excited about it. i've always wanted to work at a school, but i didn't want to be a teacher.. and i think this is going to be perfect for me.. especially if i end up at a school.

i've already started to look at grad schools and i'm getting so excited about life :) i'm thinking if ry and i are still making this distance work i'll try to go to school in michigan. how crazy would that be? and i'm looking at apartments for next year, my JUNIOR year. i don't feel like i'm old enough to even be in college let alone live on my own.. uggh.

anyway...
i've started going to a bible study which is held through campus crusade for Christ. the girls in my study are awesome and i'm really hoping i can develop some kind of friendship with all of them. they're so inspiring and make me so excited about the Lord. i'm so thankful God has led me to these girls. they have really impacted my walk with Him and do not even know it yet. i want to take ryan on this journey with me, i want him to feel the excitement i feel. hopefully soon i can share this with him. for us to both have a relationship with God.. it would be amazing.

i can't believe it's nearly 10:30 and i've been done with homework since 9. that is quite an accomplishment. i think i do better when i'm stressed and i even feel better now since i first said.. being a college kid is starting to wear on me. AWESOME.

galatians 5:6
the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

happy wednesday!
