Enough of that. Obviously I won't be summarizing my whole life in the past 18 months in one post, but let me try and hit the high points (in random-very, very random-order):
- I'm almost done with my JUNIOR year of college (can you even believe? Because I can't.). In fact, finals start tomorrow. And yet I am blogging instead of studying. Please ignore this fact.
- I have somewhat decided on a life path/goal...I am focusing on Child and Family Studies and hope to go to grad school and get my Master's Degree in that field, and then...work with children! I know that sounds kind of lame and vague, but here's the thing. When people say they are going to med school or law school or some other kind of graduate school, there is usually a very specific, defined career goal associated with that. Doctor. Lawyer. Accountant. But with a degree in Child/Family Studies, there is still a lot of latitude with what I can do career-wise. Because of that, no, I still don't have a concrete idea of "What I Want To Do With My Life". But I am OK with that, and actually I think grad school will be a great time of refining my interests and seeing what is out there. Because, if you haven't noticed, children are EVERYWHERE. So that means I could potentially work ANYWHERE. Score.
- I spent last summer working as a mother's helper/nanny for an amazing family in Houston who were having a crazy, chaotic time of things and really needed my help. It was so much fun and I miss those kids!
- I have a nephew! He is adorable and has brought tons of fun and excitement into the family...we seriously sit around at family gatherings and wonder what we did before Mac was born, because it must have been so boring!
- I have made some of the best friends in the world at Baylor. It took a little while, but I think they were worth the wait. We have fun doing random goofy stuff and I sometimes can't believe there are other people in the world who are interested in the same dweeby things I am!
- Both of my parents have moved in the last two months...which means that I no longer have any connection to the neighborhood in which I grew up. Not sure yet how I feel about that, but I am really excited for both of them because they love their new places! (I haven't seen Dad's yet, but I am sure it is great!)
- I joined Sing Alliance, a group here at Baylor that exists solely for the purpose of participating in Sing. I had always loved watching the acts every year and finally decided to take the plunge and participate, even though I am FAR from being a dancer, and singing is only a minimal part of the show. It was absolutely amazing and I am so glad I did it. We won 3rd place overall, and People's Choice for Best Backdrop! (Go here to watch our amazing act!) Even if we hadn't won anything, it would have been worth it because the experience was so amazing. I can't wait to do Pigskin in the Fall and Sing 2011 next year!
- Finally, and possibly the most exciting piece of information (at least to me right now) is that this summer I will be going to ITALY for 8 weeks to be an au pair for an Italian family! I can't say much more than that, because I have been asked to be very cautious about the family's privacy, but I am super excited and also a little bit terrified. Again, this is something way out of my comfort zone (not really knowing what to expect, kind of spontaneous), but I am really excited for it and hope that it is an amazing experience
