The First Semester of Senior Year is a Go.

Wow. I am a SENIOR! It didn't really hit me that I was senior, until I received an email from College of Charleston with the message only being sent to SENIORS! Crazy, but exciting stuff.

This week is the start of the second week of classes. It was nice having yesterday (Monday) off to get refocused and to rest.

My class schedule is as follows:
MW (12 - 1:14) - Meeting the Needs of Diverse Learners (Education)
MW (5 - 6:15) - Introduction to Problem Solving (Mathematics)
W (1:15 - 4:00) - Creating Learning Environments (Education)
W (7:00 - 10:00) - Physics 101 Lab (Science)
TR (3:05 - 4:20) - Public Speaking (Gen. Ed)
TR (5:30 - 6:45) - Physics (Science)
R (8:00 - 10:45) - Field Experience (Education

What is special about that schedule? Look closely! Yes...that's right...NO FRIDAY CLASSES!!! :)  The only downside to that is my Wednesdays are a little more chaotic. So far I like everything, EXCEPT physics. I can't understand what my teacher is saying so this class might require a little more of my time. I am loving my education classes because it is making teaching even more real. This semester will be a little different from previous semesters because for most days I don't start classes before 12, which means I have to schedule my work out in the mornings. I am still adjusting to the new schedule, but I finally getting used to it.

So, what else is new with me??

1. I have been exercising "more"!! More in the sense of training to run the Cooper River Bridge Run in April. I have good days with it and other days are just so-so. I mean, I was able to jog four miles in a hour on Sunday. If you do the math, it's like a 15 minute mile. Not super great, but the first time I have been able to really push my self to keep going for that long.
2. Almost finished with a sewing project that I have been working on every so often since October. I will post pictures as soon as I am done!
3. During my Quiet Times, I have been reading through Genesis, and I am almost done with it. Sort of. Haha. I always think I am close to finishing a book in the Bible and then I end up spending more time on it. God revealing alot to me about trust and faith in Him through Genesis. Its exciting stuff to see how God is at work even way back when in Genesis.
4. I am also reading throught a book called Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild by Mary A. Kassian. This book has been AWESOME! I'll be honest, usually with devotional books I get bored and never end up finishing them. This one is different. It is so applicable. It's a challenge to my self to look at how I live and think and to really make sure I am living God-centered in every aspect.
5. RA Fun. I had a cupcake war/decorating program yesterday. It was a lot of fun decorating and of course eating ;) On Saturday there was an incident with a bathtub nob that fell off and water was pouring out. Let's just say I spent a good 1 1/2 hours dumping water off the balcony of College Lodge. That will be going on the list of the many adventures of being a RA and being in College.6.
6. I am constantly being reminded of how fast life flies by. I am trying to make the most of it every day. It is hard sometimes being in school and having this mindset especially when there is a paper due or a test the next day. I wake up every morning and just have to give the new day over to God and let Him do what He wants with it. Only He has the capabilities of making it beautiful.

I hope you guys have an amazing week. I don't know who actually reads this and who actually makes it to the end of each of my posts, but just know that I love you ohhh so much!

Until next time,
K
