New Year, New Blog

Well it's a new year, so I've started a new blog...again. Third times a charm, right? I'm determined to make this one work.


I really don't know how to sum up my first semester of college. It was such a learning experience. I'm trying to put it all down on paper while it's fresh on my mind. One thing I'm disappointed about is that my journaling was pretty much nonexistent. I have so much to learn and remember for the past few months, and I'm frustrated I didn't spend time writing it all down. Hopefully I will be able to get a chunk of it down in the part of break that's left.


Today was the first day of intersession for me. 4.5 hours of class and about an hour of driving. This is definitely a result of the hard/learning time that made up my first semester. I'm taking a history class at OCCC. Today wasn't too bad, but we'll see how I feel after 10 days. I'm so thankful though that I got into the class, because it was totally full a few days ago.


God is really doing something in me. A painful relationship flared up again over this break, and it has really caused me to rely on Him. Unfortunately my stubborn girl-self wants to get answers and go do something, but I'm trying to totally trust in Him, no matter how hard things are right now. Elisabeth Elliot is someone I so admire, and I never grow tired of reading her books, granted I've only read a few...oh well :) I'm re-reading one, and it's so encouraging. Being a girl in today's society is so hard, especially if you have any desire to keep your morals, integrity, faith, friendships,... intact.


Time to get back to studying for history woot woot! Any study breaks are more than welcome :) Just come by!!
