Just Another Journal

The night before last, I stayed up until 5AM doing homework and studying. Last night I was up until 2AM doing the same. My classes just decided to put the bulk of the work all together at the same time. Awesome. It's ok though. I am managing it and I actually feel like a college student now. This may sound like horrible logic, but being busy like that makes me far more productive and the quality of my work improves. I'm glad it's finally getting busy.

I am not glad however, about the whole rowing situation. It made me really upset when I had to take myself out for awhile first for mono and now for my shoulder--which I am STILL waiting to hear the verdict on. I was walking around campus and saw some of the rowing girls....they got all of their gear this week. :( I miss it so much and now seeing all of my ex-teammates decked out in crimson nike backpacks, shirts, pants and shoes just reminds me of how much I miss it. But then again, I remember that God has a way of opening and closing the right doors. I can only try my best in all that I do, remain in prayer and trust that He always knows best.

He has already improved things. I got a job!!! After an entire summer of unsuccessful applications, I finally found a job. Yogurt Mountain is opening a new store in Tuscaloosa. I applied as soon as I could and got an interview and the miraculous phone call letting me know that I got the job. I start next week. I will be able to make some extra money for myself and put some away for my future and study abroad. It makes me feel so much better about myself.

Saw two good movies during study breaks last night and the night before: Dead Poet Society and Newsies. Both are very well written and produced. Newsies is a musical (which equals instant satisfaction for me) and Dead Poet Society is one of Robin Williams' few serious films. It's just an all around excellent story.

I'm going to try to start journaling everyday. I want to remember my college years, and they say journaling is just a good thing to do. (Whoever "they" are. ;))

Time to do some studying. Getting advised today. :)
