So... The summer is nearing... and although I should be going to bed since I do have to teach in the morning... I have been thinking about blogging all day... I have realized that I keep trying to push my life forward... to become the adult they say I'm supposed to be... without taking into account the blessing of the state I'm at right now... all I can think about is having my own classroom... but God showed me today that I have the rest of my life to have a classroom! I need to be thankful for the place he has put me in... a place where I can enjoy my summer... get a job if I want to... but not have to... so with this new perspective I have some summer goals... Which I will add to as they come... but for now... in no particular order...

1. Get at 'A' in my masters class

2. READ READ READ

3. Learn how to make fondant cakes

4. daily quiet times

5. work out

6. learn how to cook 3 things well

7. appreciate the beach

8. go through my storage unit... which will bring about more healing... and less frustration :]

With the new blessed feeling... as I write my list I get this overwhelming feeling about summer... here I have counted down the days... but as they are getting nearer a feeling of sadness comes over me as well... I remember praying after I left San Bernardino for God to give me a love for students again... he has used Centennial to fulfill that desire... and when I am real with myself... I am going to miss them sooo much (just won't miss waking up early)... I am so thankful for this past year with this amazing group of students... and... on my last day... the 17th... I am going to write a list of my favorite moments with them :] but for now... I really need to get to bed
