meteorology

Hey friends! Sorry it’s been about a week since I last posted. School work has been keeping me tied to my desk/computer.

I spent all day Friday and Saturday working on homework and hardly made a dent in my to-do list. Not cool. Spending hours upon hours doing homework led me to second guess myself and my course load for this semester. My ego took a little punch. I also got another C on a meteorology test. Those clouds. You look cool, but I can’t understand you!

Going to the store and buying oatmeal creme pies makes me feel better though.

Life has been full and busy, but I’m making sure to appreciate the little things…

My dad went to Texas for a business trip (I was so jealous) and brought me back a fleece jacket that says “Houston.” I missed him while he was gone, but I made sure to make him a care package full of granola and mixed nuts for his flights, etc.

My mom met up with me at a local park when I had a gap between my classes. We walked around the frozen pond and then got coffee. It was so nice to just talk with my mom. Jimmy and I went to this same park yesterday and saw people ice fishing!

Lily is fascinated by my printer. I enjoy seeing the world through her eyes.

I love my “little sister” even though she’s taller than me! Lately, people keep thinking we’re twins or that she’s older than me.

Jimmy and I celebrated Valentine’s Day on Sunday by visiting our church’s “sister church,” going out to lunch, and going bowling! I bowled a 133 during our second game. It was probably the best day of my life. Just kidding. But not really.

Jimmy made me the best gift ever. You see, I’m a little bit obsessed with corn bread. I seriously eat it every day. So he baked me corn bread and cut it into a heart LOL. I couldn’t stop laughing. Until I started eating the whole thing in (almost) one sitting ;). I love my boyfriend.

What’s the toughest class you’ve ever taken in school?

What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?

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?
