Interesting Title Here

Hey all,
   Sorry for the lack of a good title.  My brain does not seem to want to function.  It is now week 9 of the quarter we only have one week left!  Then there is finals week.  I am amazed how fast this quarter went.  I though it would be like Undergrad that quarters took forever to get over.  Here things are just so fast paced that the quarter ends so soon.  Also since we are on the quarter system, I will come back from Christmas break and be taking all new classes.

These last few week have been great but busy.  I am getting to direct a play here on campus, and I am so excited! I am directing The Actors Nightmare by Christopher Durang.  It is a funny script that I have actually been in while I was at UCO.  So I have been trying to get ready for that and start having rehearsals.  I have also been getting projects for classes turned in, and now all I really have left is one more normal paper and 3 final papers.  I am actually ahead on one of my finals(which is totally not normal for me).

Then I have decided to try to get sick.  I have a wonderful stopped up nose and sore throat.  I am trying to sleep it off as much as I can but it is not always working.  Hopefully it will not get much worse.  I am not wanting to be sick during the Holidays.

On the job front I have had 2 interviews this week with 2 very different jobs.  I am just waiting on the Lord to provide.  I just don't always have the patience.   I just get worried about not having enough money for something, and I try to scheme something new.  I have to remember that the Father is in control and he knows where the money and things are going to come from.

One thing that I am super excited about is the fact that the Webster Family is coming to visit from Oklahoma!  I have been trying to get everything ready for them.  I am very excited to see some people from home!

Well I am going to go! I think I need to try to work on at least one of my papers soon.  Thank you so much for reading my blog, and for all of your support!  I really wish I could tell you all enough how much I appreciate all of you!

Fun and Stress all at once

So lately life has been a total mix of fun and stress.  I felt like I was going crazy, but was told by other that I am completely normal!  I was feeling really good, and thought that I was completely on top of things.  Then one day it hit how I was really behind.  So I was rushing around trying to catch up.  After that of course everything that came up just made me more stressed.  I had 2 paper due, a group project, tons of reading, and auditions this week alone.  I have felt that I was sooo disconnected with people and life in general.  I just want everything to be normal.  I thankfully was given an extension on one of the papers so I am feeling a little less stressed.  I am also still trying to find work, but that is just not happening.

So that it does not sound like I am a Debbie Downer I also want to share what awesome things have happened these past few weeks.  With money I have been stressing that I have not had a job.  I had not shared it will tons of people here in California.  I had just realized the other day that I scheduled auditions on the same day that I was suppose to be babysitting for a school event.  I was mad that I was not going to get that money.  As I walked back to my house I saw some thing sitting on my front porch.  When I got up to my door there was a box full of groceries.  I just got so excited that someone had been so wonderful to give me some food.  Then I open my door and I find a card.  I thought that it was just going to be a card saying who left it.  Instead it was a card with money inside.  I have no idea who gave it or where it came from but that person blessed me soooo much.  Then I had been hired forever ago to work as a substitute teacher for a support group here on campus.  I had never been called in, but I have now been called in twice now.  Also there is a family that I have been babysitting for that wants me to keep doing it for another 3 weeks.  I know that I have been so worried about money, but I should have remembered that the Lord has me.

On the fun front, I have gotten to spend lots of time with some wonderful people here.  The other day we went to the beach, and just enjoyed each others conversations.  We had a chance to encourage, and to be encouraged.

Well that is life right now, and I am just waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks.  I know that things may not happen just how I wanted them to ie get a job, but I am going to keep reminding myself that my plans never work.
