Time Keeps On Moving On

Well, since a few people are actually reading this - and yes I am truly surprised - I will try to pop up a blog or two once in a while, though I am thinking about starting a blog about my work. (Ha ha ha ha ha.) Some REALLY interesting things have already started happening, so...we'll see how things play out. : )

Life has been SUPER busy-crazy since camp has finished. Camp ending was much harder for me than I anticipated. I never really expected to connect with anyone, since last summer I didn't really have a great & enjoyable one...it ended rather roughly, leaving me hurt and with many scars. Though I am not super close with anyone, and I never expected to be nor do I ever expect it to happen - the staff their have a bond that I could never join or be a part of, but I am okay with that - but I did come out with a few GOOD friends; some really sweet, genuine people. I miss them tons but know that they are in good hands...the BEST hands. : )

Almost as soon as summer "ended," I was on the go to get ready, try to purge, pack up boxes, bags, beds, and whatever else and head to Mo-town - Monmouth, actually; we college students just sometimes say. So I began the long, stressful process of moving out west, and then slowly unpacking. As of this last weekend, I was (more or less) completely unpacked. Yeah I still have about five archive boxes of stuff in boxes, but I'm pretty much out here to stay until God leads me elsewhere to my new adventure, although I have a feeling I'll be out here two years - enough time to give me to take my GRE, find a grad school/program I want to study, and just get a better feel for where I want to find myself.

Needless to say, I've been one busy chica. I also spent most of one day walking around to Monmouth & Independence places to submit resumes & applications in hopes to find part-time work. Well, I happened to be home one weekend - for something I forget - and I received a call from campus dining requesting an interview. That following Monday, I go in for an interview and lo & behold: I am hired! Though it isn't HEAPS of money, it still is better than nothing. Because it is an on-campus job - which is a HUGE blessing - I cannot work more than 20 hrs/wk. Which, I'll probably end up getting close to with all of what has happened thus far, and what will probably continue. Training last week (New Student Week) was hard and challenging, but I made it through and then hit the ground running this week. It's pretty much sink or swim from here on out, and so far...I'd say I've been treading water to keep my head afloat. But God is good and things will become easier the more I do things and become familiar with menus and what goes with what. I'm going to try and start a blog with all my adventures based on how Monday (this week) happened for me. Now I can laugh about it, but back then in the heat of the fire, it was NOT funny. : (

Anyways...I think that is the best overview, quick 10 min blurb-ish on me & my life and what is relatively new. Now knowing that there are a few people reading, I'll try to post a little more frequently, even if it is a "Hey! Funny story: ............."

Take care and God bless to those who are reading. It's a late night due to many things - some of which include a prolonged nap, unplanned, a house meeting, and other things I needed to finish up online. Rest well when you get there.
