These last couple months have been pretty challenging emotionally and spiritually, but PTL (Praise the Lord) for the New Year!
The week before Christmas break was really stressful, and then when vacation came it was a HUGE breath of fresh air, exactly what I needed: relaxation and time to regroup. So now it's the new year and I'm like on a happy high. My room is freshly arranged, cleaned, vacuumed and dusted. My schoolwork is all done. I started a worship journal to keep track of when and what I do for my devotions, and any thoughts I want to write down. It's working out just great. Also a 9:00pm every night I stop what I'm doing and do 10+ pushups, 40+ situps (however vigorous I'm feeling), as well as back arch stretches and leg stretches. Then after that I have my worship devotion time.
Since it's Sabbath I went on a hike with Dad (Mom had a headache, and Isaac no le gusta caminar.) So I got to drive =D. I kept asking where we were going, but he just said, "You're the driver!" So I made up my mind and we went to Anacortes, to the dock that spans the bay. It was fun, Dad ran ahead with Apache, so I hid beside the trail in the rocks by the water. When Apache realized I was missing, he came back to find me, and while his back was turned, Dad hid as well. Hahaha... poor Patchy got his running resolution in plenty, running all the way ahead of us to the actual bridge/dock and back past me a ways several times. He looked so relieved when we finally came out! I felt bad, but Dad didn't...
About the straight A's goal, it is going surprisingly well! With one week of school left in the quarter I have only one B+ (Anatomy) and one A- (History) and the rest are A's (95+, the highest being Pre-Calc at 98!) And I got an A- for both of my correspondance classes, Adventist Literature and Structure of Writing, but those don't count. With those classes out of the way I decided to add Physics to my plate this next semester because it is a beautiful science! This will make me the most active Senior this year, taking 2 sciences, 2 music classes, and every other class offered (PreCalc, A+P, History, Literature, Bible, Spanish II, Band, Choir, .... oh, and Yearbook... and basketball... I'm starting to wonder why I'm taking on Physics on top of all that! I still have time to decide otherwise... But I kind of want to to get a feel of college busy-ness.)
So anyway, my plan right now is to graduate, do Youth Rush (which ends on about August 10), spend a week or so at home (at least till my birthday!), then move to Walla Walla to start working. I want to work for the Walla Walla General Hospital or a nursing home and maybe get my CNA, see if that's the kind of thing I would like to work in. Then either start Nursing with a minor in Religion and Spanish, or... idk what else. But this summer still might change my plans drastically and I might decide to go to Souls West... Ya never know!
There was a point where I loved to look back, to dream of my favorite memories and read through old letters and journal entries, but now I can't help but think about he exciting future! I wouldn't even go back in time half a day if you paid me! Well, maybe if it was going towards my college fund! But I have enough to look forward to without even thinking of college! THe next 5 months are going to be CRAZY! End of January is the Choral Clinic, February brings the WWU Friendship tournament, next comes the big March Honduras Mission Trip for 2 weeks..... SUPER EXCITED! Moving right along to April is the Senior Class Trip to Hawaii. Who knows what May holds, but I'm sure it's hectic too! And all along that path are banquets, camp outs, weeks of prayer, music tour, music festival in Seattle, and all the extra Senior planning I have to do.
Oh boy! I can' wait for life! I better go to bed so life can hurry up and happen!
Goodnight!
TQM!!
