Thoughts for my last week as a college freshman: Part 1

Life as I know it is quite busy right now. Yesterday and today have been packing/cleaning out days. I have stayed pretty busy just hauling through all of my stuff and organizing/packing. I pretty much have most of my stuff in storage and am now working on packing for the trip home. I am also in the midst of finals and very stressed.

Life for me is mostly stressful and busy, but it is my life. I have had people who ask me why I keep my life super busy and the truth of the matter is that I like to stay busy. It makes me not miss home so much and it also allows me to have my "schedule." Yes I like a schedule and even over the summer, I will have somewhat of a schedule. I like being on a schedule. I feel better when I am on a sleeping schedule, so I tend to veer towards "normal" for me over the summer.

Some of the things I will miss this summer are:
* Hanging out with friends
* Being able to walk most places
* Subway off of Pine Street-they make the best salads
* Mya Rogers (baby) and the Friendship House
* Donna and Bill Jay
* Terry Minami
* St. Paul UMC
* Brand and APO

Some of the things I will not miss:
* Being woken up by a roommate in the middle of the night
* Being woken up in the middle of the night by girls screaming down the halls
* Twin beds
* Dust all around me
* Girl drama-freshmen girls have lots of drama. I am tired of it!

Things I miss from home:
* Meals
* My bed
* Family
* FUMC of Grapevine
* My kiddos that I babysit
* Swimming Pool

So as of right now, I have finals to study for and things to do. So I leave you with this quote that I look at daily. "Never, never, never give up" by Winston Churchill. There are some days when I ask myself why I have/live the life that I have. There are some days when I am ready to quit, but when I look at this quote it helps me remember my goal in life. My goal in life is to be an EC-4/Special Ed. teacher and I can not quit. I have to finish school to do this, so I guess I am stuck with the fact that I have to go through college, even if there are hard and stressful days. I can not give up! I will never give up! I must keep my goal in mind!!!

Have a great week!!!
