I am intending for this post to be a simple update about my life.
Ha.
Nothing about my life is simple.
1. Senior year of college
Let me tell you what, taking a handful of gen ed classes my senior year was a bad idea. I'm already getting antsy to move on to "bigger and better" things in my life, and sitting through a bunch of non-major-related freshman level classes is making me even more antsy (antsier?). Between tutoring, grading, and TAing, I work between ten and twelve hours a week. It's wonderful. Teaching is by far the most rewarding kind of work - though I can't say that I envision myself doing it as a profession.
2. Graduate school
Yeah, it exists. I took the GRE in August, hated every minute of it, and had my scores sent to grad schools all over the country. Literally. I finished my CASPA (Central Application Service for Physician Assistants) application early (!), and am currently finishing up the last few supplemental applications. If you're curious, I applied to the following schools:
1. Emory University (Atlanta)
2. Texas Tech (Midland)
3. University of Colorado (Denver)
4. Oregon Health and Sciences University (Portland)
5. Daemen College (Amherst, NY)
Going right into a physician assistant program is definitely Plan A. Surprisingly, I don't have a Plan B yet, though I have been tossing around ideas. I'll be grateful for the day when all of my applications are totally and completely done and I have a better idea of what I'll be doing next year.
3. The rest of life
Uh...what's that? (Haha...?) Right now, I'm in a state of equilibrium. It's wonderful because life isn't absolutely insane. I can actually function, think clearly, and sleep more than six hours each night. It sucks because it means I have big decisions to make soon. However, I have seen God's faithfulness in the (seemingly) small things in my life, and I have no doubt that He'll remain faithful in the (seemingly) big things, too. (On a side note, I thought that in Spanish before I wrote it in English. This is a small victory on my way to actually learning Spanish for once and for all.) In other news, I'm munching (kind of?) on what I like to call Chocolate Cheese right now (and it's better than it sounds, people). I went speed dating last month in the guys' dorm. I'm helping with a high school science competition this weekend. I played water polo for the first time last night and loved it, despite losing. I have a meeting at 7am tomorrow. Aaaaand I should really be doing homework.
