Has it really been since the beginning of last semester since I lasted blogged?! Oh goodness, how time flies! I am now almost done with the my 1st semester of Sophomore year. A few things have happen since I last blogged. Last semester classes went really well and I still managed to stay on the Dean's List. I absolutely loved my ballet class and will be taking it again next fall. I'm still working at the dance building and love my job more and more every day. I have an awesome boss and have had such great learning experiences and opportunities. The past few months I have been really thinking of what I wanted to pursue a major in. After long thoughts, consideration, and praying--I finally decided to major in elementary teaching. I think it's what's best for me. I love to teach and I love children--and this job also is a great job that will allow me to have a family of my own one day and to actually be able to spend time with my family (which is most important to me). I'll be starting my major required classes next semester. I'm super excited to finally get started and actually head in a direction of education. Along with school I also received another calling at church. My first (ever) calling I received last semester (I think) was to be in charge of the Ward bulletin board. I absolutely love this calling! It's so much fun to decorate the board and keep people update with the events and activities in the church. I was called to another calling this semester, as a Relief Society teacher! I again love this calling! I love to teach about my favorite topic, the gospel, and getting to teach from past General Conference talks! (which who doesn't love that!?) Receiving this relief society calling, along with some other things, was a helpful tool in figuring out what I wanted to do in life. I am so grateful to be able to serve in this calling.
My roommate and I are rooming again next semester, which is awesome! She is such an amazing friend and roommate--I don't know what I'd do without her. While I am looking forward to next semester, I am more so looking forward to this summer. College sometimes can be very draining and I'm in need of a long break. And I'm excited because this summer I plan to go to TN and work on family history with my grandmother! I'm hoping to find many names that I'll be able to take to the temple when I come back! Along with that, I get to see many family members and also catch up with many friends...as well as helping plan one of my good friend's wedding!!! (So exciting!! )
Not really much has happen in this past few months...just working hard in school, work, and church. I love my life here in SC and look forward to what the future holds. :) I'll try not to go as long without writing a blog next time, but then again I'm not keeping any promises! ;)
XOXO
