Yeah, so I'm pretty awful at keeping this blog post up...but I've been thinking about blogging for the past few months, and I'm actually sitting down to do it...where to start, where to start...how about where I left off? Back in September, which feels like a lifetime ago.
I got an application for the nearest Chick-Fil-A, and turned it in about a week later. They liked me and tried to get me an interview that day, but I was unavailable that day. They tried again for the next day, and I realized I was busy then, too. So finally, we both settled on a time which was for the following day in the afternoon. I was hired in my first interview, and my first day was 2 weeks later, which was October 16th.
My birthday came around on the 19th of October, which was ok. It was my golden birthday, and I had to work that day. The first weekend of November, I went back to TeenMania for a weekend preview for Honor Academy. I invited one of my close friends to go with me, which was really nice. I put in my application for August 2013 to Honor Academy, and I was accepted a mere week later.
Let's fast forward to Thanksgiving. Mariam and Caleb came into town for the weekend, and we hung out, went Black Friday shopping, played some games, went out to eat, and just had a really enjoyable time. Christmas time came and went. My cousin came in from out of state. That was nice because I hadn't seen him in about a year and a half.
The new year comes...nothing too exciting for me. I was making friends at work. I felt like I had no life because I was working all the time. February was pretty meh as well...actually, no it wasn't. It was exciting. I had been feeling pretty doubtful about going to HA for a few weeks...I almost didn't want to go. One night when I was having trouble getting to sleep, I allowed myself to think about going to HA in January.
I had always told myself I would never go in January because that is the harder class. All of my January friends said so. I wanted the challenge, but I let myself believe I was too weak for that. I told myself to go in August, because that's the easier class...even though the August class has its own challenges. I figured those challenges would be enough for me...but I suppose God had other plans.
So now I am planning on going in January. An overwhelming peace settled over me when I made the decision. It was actually very surprising. So that was it then. I was going in January. That means I was staying home for 5 months longer than I had originally planned. That means there wasn't quite a stress put on me to work all the time to get the money I needed.
I have a more relaxed pace now (even though I am still working all the time, haha)...so that's that. March has come gently in...nothing too exciting has happened. It is one month closer for my nephew to be born (my sister's due date is April 19th)...so I am getting really excited about that. I'm ready for a new newborn.
Spring break is next week, and being the family we are, we have nothing planned...a new Walmart just opened up about 10 minutes away, which is really close for us. So yeah, that's about the most exciting news I have in my life right now...but I feel as this year progresses, I'll have wonderful things to share.
