You Think I Would be Used to this Packing Thing by Now...
Alright, so, here I sit...just finished putting the five lovely children to bed...but it is a slight relief because I can feel myself wearing down and don't wish to be short with them! Tomorrow I will need patience straight from God...I wake up at 7:00 to work 8:00-1:00pm and then babysit from 2:00ish until...well, probably 11:00 or so. Brad and Shelby are at the wedding rehearsal tonight and then wedding and reception tomorrow. Plus, they are good friends of Brad and Shelby and Brad is the pastor and MC...so yeah, it will be late.
HEY, wonderful, fabulous news! I got a letter today from the school, and I got a 600 dollar scholarship (split between semesters) and a 260 dollar bursary!! THANK YOU GOD :) Man, is He the greatest or what? I was definitely not counting on the bursary and I got the full scholarship amount, so that is amazing!! I might actually break even for first semester! Second semester is another story, but that's a ways off...
I am almost finished packing my stuff up. Every time I have to move/pack, I always anticipate that there will be less than there is...a bad idea! But, I am mostly finished...gotta pack up my computer before I go to bed, plus some miscellaneous kitchen stuff...and then there will be a few things to do in the morning BEFORE work at 8:00........yikes! And then I get to do it all again in reverse in 9 days!! So crazy...oh, and I have to clean the apartment quickly again tonight before bed...it's going to be another late one I think!
Last night I was up until about 3:00...I was doing well with the packing and cleaning after I worked until 9:00...and then I got talking to some new students...I had talked to two guys and was just about to do more packing...and then I got talking to this other guy...and let's just say that he is talkative and I am too...plus we are both really excited for school ha ha and yeah...somehow we talked for like 3 hours...woah. So yeah, had to finish packing after that...and by that time it was somewheres around 1:30...
Not much else is new. Living at my parents' next week. I have five more shifts of work until I get a three week break as school is starting and it's going to be crazy! I am actually at that point where I know that deep down I am excited for school to start, but I have been waiting for the start of school for so long that I feel like I have used up all my excitement! ha ha I know that once Training Week starts and everyone is moving in, I will get excited again. I will get to see people!! and will be reminded that there isn't as much going on as maybe I had thought, that I have a team working with me, and just the constant reassurance I have had that God is going to something amazing this year!
Actually, that is what one of the new guys, Joseph, and I were talking about last night...how this summer we have both felt so relax, and both having this crazy feeling that we are waiting for something, anticipating something...just feeling at peace you know. And it's crazy...talking about that last night and for me about finances and how I still just feel great about the year...and then today I get 860 bucks!! How great is God?!
Alright...people are moving upstairs...
Later days...
