Tired...[Warning: Whining Ahead]

The title says it all. I am so tired of school. It drives me nuts to be stuck somewhere that I don't wanna be. Funny thing is, it happens all the time. I'm ready for a change. I'm tired of sitting through group meetings that go nowhere. Tired of being given ridiculous assignments and busy work. Tired of sitting in class and wondering what in the hell the professor is talking about...and why I should care. I'm not the type who has ever been really gung ho about this whole college thing...but I'm officially over it. I'm tired of being away from the love of my life. Tired of idling around and counting down the days til the week, month, and semester are over. I am ready to feel some passion about my days.

Stream of Consciousness

I got this idea from a blog I read. Sometimes, it is fun to be random and just say whatever comes to mind. I remember doing this in my 11th grade English class and writing page after page in five minutes. I enjoy writing and even have a journal, but I don't keep up with it as much as I should. I have two finals tomorrow that I should probably be studying for right now. I have to make a 59 and a 62 to get A's in the classes, so I'm not feeling much motivation. After I take them, I will be a senior in college. Where has the time gone? I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I guess I better figure that out soon. I am really excited about my internship at ZBC this summer. I am going to be really busy. I just got my schedule for the first three weeks and it is jam packed. Some of the things I will be doing will be easy and very enjoyable for me. Others are going to be really hard and I am really going to have to step out of my comfort zone to get through them. I am thankful for the opportunity, though, and can't wait for it to begin! I am still cracking up over what happened with me and Jordan earlier. We decided we needed (wanted) some coffee and couldn't decide where to go. We narrowed it down to McDonald's for a frappe or Coffee Society right down the road. Neither one of us was making a decision...no surprise there...so I decided we were gonna write down our personal choices on a piece of paper and decide based on that. I wrote "whatever you pick" and she wrote "whatever you decide." HAHA that is so us...it cracks me up. I am looking forward to spending some time with my friends that I haven't seen in awhile this summer. Tomorrow marks mine and Josh's one year anniversary. It is incredible the things we have made it through. We have both matured so much during this year. He's one of my very best friends and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. God is so good! I am really far behind in the "you've got the time" thing where you listen for 28 minutes a day and hear the whole New Testament in forty days. I am still in Luke and should probably be in Philippians by now. I've gotta get back to it. I'm excited about going home for the summer but I can't believe how fast life is going by!!
