Merry Belated Christmas everyone!!! And Thanksgiving... And Halloween... And a lot of other events that I have missed in the last 6 months!!! But hey, life happens :)... At the beginning of 2012, I had no idea that I would be going to college full time in the fall, but life has this way of turning out different that we plan. I have slowly been learning that what I *thought* God's plans were for my life were actually *my* plans for my life. Through the encouragement of a friend and lots of prayer, I have been trying to find joy in my very busy and sometimes hectic day to day life. I am by no means there yet, but I do have a direction... :)

It has been two years since I have been in school...  Coming off of that, I didn't expect much of myself in college. But I underestimated myself. God has given me a brain that learns very quickly and easily if stimulated... I credit my 4.0 GPA at the end of this semester to that. :)

 I really forgot how much I LOVE learning!!! It took me a few weeks, but after I got used to the lifestyle change, I really started to enjoy myself. This coming up semester I am starting French which I am REALLY excited about. There is something about learning another language that is wonderfully romantic. :)

I couldn't begin to catch ya'll up on everything that I have been doing... Not that I have done much besides stuff that relates to college :). The short of it is I did homework, went to work, and hung out with friends... And watched movies... Namely, The Hobbit and Les Miserables... Both of which are FANTASTIC!!!!!!! :)

I will be putting up a 2013 To-do list tomorrow for the New Year. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up with posting a bit better than I have been... Ta ta!!! :)
