Internships and scary things

Hey there!

I mentioned in my last post that I was interviewing for an internship. I didn’t get the internship position. That was the second internship that I inquired about and didn’t get accepted into.

I was definitely bummed and spent a day feeling bad about myself. At the same time, I realized that God is going to bring the right opportunities into my life at the right time. I probably would have been really stressed out if I was doing a full time internship while also taking a full course load. I also know that He heals the sting of rejection.

Needless to say, I’ve had a little bit of a rough week. I got a C on a meteorology test, lost a windshield wiper while I was driving (no clue how that happened), and my dog had diarrhea in my bedroom (tmi?). Oh well. None of the things that happened to me were a big deal in the grand scheme of life, but here’s to hoping this week is much better!

Some pictures from my week:

Lily. I just don’t know about her sometimes. I find her doing the most random things.

Variety is the spice of life. Chocolate pancake with chocolate chips and blueberry, strawberry, and red sugar pancakes. Pancakes make life better.

I had Dunkin' Donuts coffee for the first time on Friday. The verdict? Yum!

The sky was gorgeous on my way home from campus earlier in the week.

So, I have been thinking about rejoining gymnastics. How random is that?!

I used to be a competitive gymnast when I was younger. Sometimes I can’t believe the crazy flips I used to do–I wonder how I was brave enough to just throw myself into flips on a balance beam and other equipment. Now, I’m not sure if I would do even half of the tricks I used to do.

Anyways, I saw that the club I used to belong to is now going to be offering an adult class once a week starting in March.

I realized that rejoining gymnastics could be considered a part of one of my New Year’s resolutions: do things that scare me. Why does rejoining gymnastics scare me? Well, I don’t want to break my neck (or any bones), and I don’t feel as if I have the time to devote to it. But I know that I do. And I have a feeling I’ll really enjoy it.

What is something that you want to do that scares you?

No more

No more of my life in 30 days. I am almost relieved it is done but at the same time I am a little sad!

I have a few random thoughts/questions for today:

-Can you believe it is already January 17th, 2011?

-Do you celebrate MLK day in any way?

-Do you have today off?

-What brand of coffee do you brew at your home?

 

, YeahI know the last one was a little random but I was thinking about coffee!!

In my house we drink:

Starbucks Breakfast Blend

Or:

Dunkin’ Donuts Turbo

Sometimes:

Little packets of Arbuckles flavored coffee (My personal fav!)

Yesterday turned out to be a fun day! Ice skating was awesome and not as full as I thought it would be. I brought my camera, but not on the ice because I thought I would fall right on it!! Here are some pictures though 🙂

On our way, listening to music. Susan a lover of music, would be so proud!! (She makes the best mixes!)

Way to look dad! He is NOTORIOUS for not looking. I may have to make a post about him not looking.

Say hello to Chester, Hannah’s hamster who turned 1 years old yesterday. She had a birthday party and even bought him gifts such as a leash (yes, I am serious) and apple sticks (yes, I wanted to eat apple sticks)

There is Chester on his leash! Hannah made him a hoodie too:

Don’t worry, Lola wasn’t left out of the fun 😉 Jim and I walked her and she needed to be warm..

What better way to keep your pit bull warm than a dog vest?!

I made some soup. . .

Butternut squash soup… that I didn’t want my dad to touch.. because it wasn’t done. Sometimes he ignore post it notes… so I used 5 post it notes !

Bible Verse of the day:

Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases; for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him. Psalm 49:16-17

Here is a little poll for you

Have a great day 🙂
