HOWDY! Welcome back to school everyone! Well, if you're going to school that is!
So, it's been a while since I've posted. Here's what I have been up to: WORK and SCHOOL.
I recently enrolled in an online university, I hadn't ever heard of it, but after doing research, God bless the internet, I decided to enroll at Ashford University's Online Program. There is an actual, physical campus in Iowa. The great thing about this school is, while I'm considered a full time student, I only do one course at a time! That means for 5 weeks I only have to worry about homework and quizzes for ONE subject! AWWWWESOME!
So, since I OBVIOUSLY can't do vocal studies online, I'm taking the communications section of my major online. I may end up just changing it completely. WHO KNOWS?? The more I think on it, the more I remember what I wanted to be when I was in high school, besides the veterinarian I am NOT going to be, and that was an ambassador. Would that not be the coolest job ever? I'd get to live in different countries and learn about different cultures, eat new foods, learn new languages, and be a peace maker! Now, this is all based on the chance that I may not remarry in this lifetime and will need to support myself. Another thing I could do with this major is radio. Another cool job! I think that I'd do well as a radio personality. I'm pretty sure I'm sarcastic enough for the job. ha ha, ha ha.
I don't know exactly where the Lord plans on me being in the next four years, but I do know with out a doubt that this is where I'm supposed to be now. I am growing so much spiritually and shrinking physically (YAY). I am experiencing life at a totally different level and am thoroughly enjoying myself! I go to church on a regular basis, I pray daily, I read my scriptures as often as I remember (still need improvement there), and just received a new calling at church. I am the new FHE mom for the new 26 and older group in our singles ward.
For those of you who aren't LDS, FHE stands for Family Home Evening. Our church leaders encourage us to set aside one day a week, usually Mondays, to have family time. It's time for us to study the gospel as a family in our homes, or as single adults where ever we decide to meet as a group that week, and to also plan an uplifting activity.
I also start institute choir and am taking an institute class this week. So, Sundays-church, Mon-Sat-work, Monday night-FHE, Tuesday night-choir, and Wednesday night-Institute class. I will also be looking into SCA activities to fill in my other evenings. Oh, lets not forget I have to log into class and do all my assignments throughout the week in between all these other activities. Yep, this week until the end of the semester, I will be one BUSY woman! I CAN DO THIS!
Any advice??
