"All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience."

In 34 Days, my life will go in 1 of 3 directions. Or will go in 1 of a million directions. In other words, my life is changing.

First off, I have a new roommate! I am so excited to live with Jasmine, aka Pretzelz, and we got a great place! It's extremely close to campus, and besides the current wood beatle infestation, its cute, little, and cozy :)

Next, No more debate. I don't know if i'd written about it at all, but  I quit debate. I think it was the right decision for me for multiple reasons. However, I still have little doubts every now and again. Speech and Debate competition has been six years of my life, and now I won't get to compete ever again. I am looking for a team in the valley to help out with, though. This will give me some good conections with schools and coaches in the area for when I graduate. I am also taking a whopping 20 credits this semester, which means that I would not have had time for debate anyhow. I hope I can manage this workload!

Additionally, I am currently working on transfering Target stores for the school year. I decided that instead of going back to my store in Eagle, I  am going to transfer to a closer Target. This will save me a lot of time and gas money, and it will be a lot more convenient for my  schedule.

On top of all this, I am taking a class at my church's Institute of Religion. I have never taken a class like this and I am very nervous and anxious about it, especially since i'm new to the church. Luckly, one of my friends from high school, Michelle, just moved to Boise and is going to take it with me! In conjunction with that class, I am also hoping to make the Insitute Audition Choir. I heard them perform at their year end concert and they were amazing. I miss choir, and I think this will be a fun new experience for me.

Last but not least, in 34 days, the missionary boy comes home. I am so excited to see him. He is one of my best friends and I've missed just talking to him. As much as I love letters, things happen, and sometimes it takes more than a month to get a letter. I don't know how things will be when he gets home. I don't know what will happen. What I do know is that I will be going back to school on the other side of the state just 2 days after he gets home. Great timing, huh? I actually think it might be a blessing in disguise. It will give us all time to think. And it will give me time to hang out with Boise boy...  I mentioned him in an earlier post, but he's a good friend of mine. Right before I left, we started spending a lot of time together and it was great. So...... This is where I stand. Confused, yet anxious for this next step in my life.

I'm sorry that i'm not really "topical" in these posts. But I created this blog as a place for me to put in writing all of the random thoughts that are floating around in my head. Sometimes it is just better to let it all out. And what better a place to do that then the World Wide Web? :)


There are two songs on today's playlist.
And they're pretty much irrelavent to this post:


Beautiful Goodbye: Maroon 5
Off their newest album Overexposed


None but Jesus: Hillsong
Go ahead and ignore the Dutch Subtitles... Unless you know dutch.
And if that's the case, go ahead and sing along :)






Until Next Time.

  2. First of all, I'm so glad you're taking Institute! You will not regret it, and you have nothing to worry about. It is such a good break in the day from the craziness of school. I'm also so envious you are going to join institute choir! I always wanted to do that. They are amazing! Good luck taking 20 credits... I dunno how you do it! And I'm sooo excited for the missionary to come home, or to hear more about this Boise boy! Either way you deserve the best.
