The first week of 2012 is over! Canst you believe it? I can, and I'm rather relieved. This Tuesday I start up my first official on-campus (though technically off campus) class. It is a very interesting thing to live each day only to realize how quickly they slip through your fingers and trail out behind you like well picked bones.
For my first week of 2012 I worked every day but was able to finally start jogging again. I walked Monday (which felt rather a bit like March) with my parents. I jogged Tuesday with my mom and older sister at the local high school track. Then Wednesday after work I went running with my sister and today after work I went for a half an hour run. The first of the week was beautiful, warm, and really bizarre. Then this morning we woke up to about three inches of snow. Driving to work was terrifying but taking my run was an incredible thing to behold. It was as though I was existing in a snow globe. There were light snow flakes drifting lazily to the ground and the silence that a snow brings just completed the effect. All in all it was wonderful. Right now I'm really feeling the runner's high, and other side affects. I had shin splints up until today, but now my calves are sore from the run I had today. Ah well, to be healthy and in shape is worth it!
As a side note I had my angels looking out for me today. I was driving on the freeway to my grandparents and turned on my signal to merge into the middle lane. Apparently a SUV had the same idea and we merged at the same time. I was able to stay calm and correct the mistake without over-correcting and getting mushed up between other cars and the barrier. God was wonderful to me today. I feel terrible for that SUV driver. They obviously were only worried about their end destination and didn't realize the scrapes they were avoiding. One day that will catch up to them, and I hope they repent. It's always such a shame when people grow so self-absorbed by where they need to be and what they want that they disregard the importance of the people around them.
If human kind could do away with the selfish tendancies stitched into their hearts, then our world would be swept clean. All the bad and hurtful things that happen to us in the world by way of the influence of others is all linked to selfish desires.

Happy New Years (plus a little Whoops)
Well I haven't been here for a while. Guess life became too much to remember I have a blog. That's all right. I've been trying to find the ever fine balance between physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual peace. I started a new job, I'm taking Music 1010 for the Spring semester, and I've finally found peace in my dating life.
There was one particular guy I had really liked. I mean, this was the first guy I could see myself happy with. We went on a date, and even though the date was fun, I just didn't feel it. I realized then that now just isn't the time. I'm young and alive! I have so much more to do before I get married. Even though I was (and still am) on a marriage high I know that for now I get to just be myself.
Between my mom and I (mostly my mother, bless her wonderful heart), I decided to take one class this semester to dip my feet in the water without really having to get wet. At first it would be an English class online, but those were full. The other two classes that were open conflicted with my work schedule. So I pulled out my nifty piece of paper that has a rundown of the credits I need. Glancing over this paper makes going to College look so EASY! I know I waited until the last minute to sign up for a class and that was probably why it took several tries to find a class with an opening.
I want to be an elementary teacher. In order to do that I need one Fine Arts credit. Music 1010 was open. To be honest I love music. I don't love like others do, but the love I feel for it is plenty for me and I'm content with that. I'm no music buff or expert on the classics, but I do know what sounds good and what doesn't.
I'm very eager to start this class. College will be different, but it will be a good different. I think my only New Year's Resolution will be to write at least once a week here...for a month. We'll see how that goes :)
Actually that is a lie. I have two resolutions. My wonderful baby sister gave me exactly what I wanted for Christmas. Belle et le Béte. It's a revision of the original Beauty and the Beast, and I could only find it in French. So equipped with a French to English dictionary, my iPad and the ever convient online translator, plus a spiral notebook and pen, I think I can actually successfully read a book in French...by March? I'll try to keep you updated on that front :)
