Comfort

Well break is definitely over.  I feel like I have been going nonstop since I left my house yesterday around 6.  I REALLY need to learn the importance of packing lighter.  Last night I spent an hour and a half unpacking my clothes and another hour and a half on everything else.  Of course it always take me longer because I cannot just unpack….I typically use that time to reorganize everything as well.  My dresser was what I naively started with and that took way more time than I had thought.  I am pretty sure I packed away as many clothes to take back home as I did those I brought with me here.  OH well….I guess at least it evens it out, right?  My original goal was to accomplish all of my organization last night and just enjoy today to relax and bum around the apartment.  But since unpacking took so long I had quite a few errands to run and still needed to organize my desk and part of my closet.

You would think that since I have been working so hard to organize that I would be all set for tomorrow, right?  Yeah…the past hour I have spent talking with my roommates and avoiding any form of work.  You would think that part would already be done….

Well tomorrow begins my last semester of regular classes.  I only have 13 credit hours this semester (not sure how I managed that one) but this semester is still looking to be a challenge.  I will be teaching MANY lessons in the classroom, will be preparing for student teaching, and have 48 hours of practicum to complete.  Plus I still plan to tutor and get some hours in at work.  But I am very excited for this semester.  As scary as it might be at the changes that are coming and coming very fast, I am so excited all that this semester holds.  Plus I know that God has a master plan.  He is always in control of my life and I couldn’t be more thankful.  The beginning of a new semester is always stressful for me.  I find myself so consumed in organizing my binders and notebooks, ensuring I have all the assignments for the semester written down in my planner, etc that I often find myself anxious at the many unknowns.  I'm a planner and not always knowing what to plan makes me nervous.  As anxious as I am about a new semester, it is always comforting knowing that God already knows all that is to come...what an amazing comfort.

Well I have a migraine that is getting worse and I really do need to finish up a couple more things before classes start tomorrow.  Surely with only 13 credit hours I can blog more this semester, right?!  Here's to hoping!
