Six Weeks and Counting...

Most of the midterms are finished. I got one more this week, plus a big ecology project. There is always some homework I have to do.

I'm happy only six weeks are left of my college education. It's a nice feeling. I'm betting that I'll be feeling something even better in six weeks.

Right now, I have no plans of what I'm doing after these six weeks. I'm not going to worry about that either. I still have six long weeks of school work, so that is my focus.

Once I have passed this "finish line," I know another one will be in front of me. And I'll be doing my best to finish the race well, just like I always do. That's how I know I'm an American - I never stop working. ;)

Time to get back to work again.

Sorting Out Priorities

So my activities as of late...

Studying for Midterms: triple check!

Writing Term Papers: check!

Daily workout: check!

Cooking healthy Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner: check!

Turning on the computer and blogging: Umm...can't check that.

Also, I've haven't quite responded back to all my e-mails. If you're one of them, I'm so sorry! I want to make the time for blogging and answering a few emails, but I've just not figured out how to manage to complete everything I want to while still going to bed on time!

I always feel like I should be doing more, but I can never seem to do every activity. Every morning, I figure out my priorities. And I try hard to complete them all by the end of the day. I try.

Life has become a tricky balance of trying to do the best I can in the most important things. My lifelong prayer has become a simple line – "God, be with me in all I do and let me be the best I can possibly be." :)

Back In Action

It's been a long while.

I can only offer apologizes for keeping anybody waiting. Life really did take me on an interesting adventure since I last wrote in this blog. All I can say for now ... in the summer I went "Gone Living," I learned the true meaning of "living." Since then, I have more appreciation for life itself.

So, I decided I'll take another chance here.

Maybe it's time to come back to this paradise of mine. Maybe it's time to tell my story a little more. Maybe it's time to write a little more. It is a new year, after all. I hope you enjoy the thoughts to come on this adventure ahead.

A quick life-summary, just to get you up-to-date. 2008 came and went, teaching me about strength and resilience. 2009 should be called Redemption because God brought me to a place of great blessings, both spiritually and physically. 2010 was the year of Perseverence, for I kept going and going every single day to complete the tasks before me. As for 2011 ... we'll see how God leads me in the days to come.

Here we go!
