Fall Blues!
I just finished giving my third out of five speeches this semester. I gave it on David Berkowitz(the son of sam). The students in my speech class seemed to enjoy it. I also gave a hand out
on the characteristics of a serial killer. It is hard to believe that next week will mark the mid term of this semester. Where is my life going and why am I spending so much of it here????
My grandson will be born in less than 8 weeks, my baby girl turns twenty in 6 weeks and I will be 45 (AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH) in a little over 10 weeks!!
I had a small crisis the third week of school. I had my first Spanish test and a Computer test on the same day. I was so overwhelmed by the Spanish and the amount we cover that I was just freaked. I stopped at the gas station on the way home to get a .99 drink, and my mind was saying over and over: I can't do this. I can't continue to make this drive and stay ahead with these 4 classes, I just can't do it.
While waiting on my change I started doing some counting in my head (I hear
smiley7613 groaning). It turns out that this semester marks the midpoint of my college career. I have been attending classes for 6 semesters(fall, winter, AND summer), and starting in January, I will still have 6 semesters to go for my bachelor's. So, I figured that I was having a mid-point crisis.
I have since realized that I am where I am supposed to be at this time in my life and I MUST go on and finish this degree for God has plans for me. But, I constantly fight discouragement. I think sometimes that I'm just wasting my time and Regions Bank's money. Then I force myself to look ahead 5 years or so, and I know I won't be able to accomplish my goals without this degree. I cannot worry about who will or will not hire a 50 year old CPA. I must soldier on secure in the knowledge that somewhere, God has the place and job for me. I don't have to know all the details now, I just have to believe, trust, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
By the way, I made a 91.5 on the Spanish test and a 84 on the computer test.
