END OF SUMMER

SUMMER IS COMING TO AN END AND I'M FEELING ALOT OF FEELINGS THAT I HAVEN'T FELT BEFORE. I'M STARTING ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR AND THE FACT THAT I'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A YEAR OF COLLEGE AND HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN SCARES THE LIVIN DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. BUT DON'T WORRY...I'M READY FOR THE CHALLEGE.

OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HANG OUT WITH ALOT OF NEW PEOPLE. I'M STARTING TO GET THE HANG OF MAKING NEW FRIENDS AGAIN.

THIS SUMMER WAS RATHER BUSY FOR ME. I DIDN'T GET ALOT OF FREE TIME. FIRST OFF I'M WORKING FULL TIME AT THE MAGNOLIA CENTER. THEN I TOOK OFF 4 1/2 WEEKS - 3 FOR EFY AND THEN 1 1/2 FOR A TRIP TO UTAH. EFY WAS SO AMAZING AND I LEARNED SO MUCH. THE KIDS WHERE SUCH GOOD EXAMPLES TO ME AND I LEARNED HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT BETTER. THEN THE FAMILY TRIP TO UTAH WAS A BLAST. ALTHOUGH WE HAD A FAMILY EMMOTIONAL CRISIS AND THEN I GOT THE FLU IT WAS GREAT.

WELL I HOPE THAT AS THE NEXT TWO WEEKS PLAY OUT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE FRIENDS AND PREPARE FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF LOTS OF HARD WORK. TILL I WRITE AGAIN...
