New Post

What with all my China posts, I felt as if I couldn't mix in my "regular" life until the story was finished.  Now that it is finished, I just want to let a bunch of "stuff" out, but that wouldn't necessarily be good.  So, here are a few things on my mind and in my life...

* Parent-teacher conferences are tomorrow night and we all know how well the last one went.  I'm a bit worried (that could possibly translate to "scared" in some ways).  Nothing has really happened, but nothing had happened before the last one either or so I thought. This term's conference is a little bit of a different format so hopefully that will help and not hinder my evening.

* Pi Day is tomorrow!  I made two apple pies, in fact, they're baking right now.  I really love pie and I've decided that I really love making pie too.  The thing that was holding me back before was the crust, it's the hardest part.  I've been getting a lot of practice lately so my crust turns out pretty good nowadays.  (Just pulled them out, they're the most gorgeous pies I've ever created!  Maybe it's because I'm kind of hungry and they smell so good, I don't know, I just can't wait for tomorrow!)

* Now that I'm back in the country, I'm not sure what to do.  I was so busy before I left since I had to get so many things ready before I left at home, school, church, life, etc. and I was so busy catching up right after I got back.  I think things will start to settle back down soon, but now it's like I don't remember what I used to do before the trip.

* I think I was bit by the travel bug.  Since coming home, my roommates and I have been planning a few trips: Orlando, a cruise, Ohio, and now possibly even Disneyland!  Why stay home when you can leave?

* I'm surrounded by some amazing people.  The last month or so has been kind of crazy for me at school, church, life and there were a few times I just didn't understand what was going on, I still don't in some aspects.  I've picked up some pretty good friends that just spend time with me and listen to me.  They may not be able to solve my problems, but they would if they could and when they can't, I know they're here for me.

* I've been working on my PAEMST application some more.  I just need to get my letters of recommendation collected, my resume updated (I've done some pretty amazing things over the last two years), and go over my narrative paper a couple more times.

* It's a good thing that China postponed any other posts because there's one thing I've learned in the last few months, I can't trust myself to say or not say something when I'm tired.  I'm still pulling out of the jet lag, I'm doing much better, I just can't fall asleep when I want to, so I've been a bit tired lately.

* Only 47 more school days left!  I'm just not allowed to start counting down just yet...maybe after Spring Break.
