I've been back at Freed for a year now. This time last year, I was trudging through pre-xmas sales days at JCPenney and training someone to take my place. I was nervous, unsure and unhappy (happier than I had been but still...). Kansas was a good place for me to come back to, because my family loved and cared for me and reminded me how to do that for myself too.
And now, I've had a whole year of being a full time student, and am marvelling at my grades - all A's and B's - for the fall semester. I have a family of friends at Freed, a little place to call my own, and work I can be proud of and passionate about. There are even days when I feel like nothing can stop me. God is good.
Next semester I'm taking directing, and doing costumes for Tiffany's play. It will be challenging, and lots of fun. I'm going to miss my Susan H., who transferred to Harding (good luck suse!) and several friends who graduated this December. I can't believe that finally, next year, I will be a senior in college... ready to leave the undergrad world behind.
Right now, I'm enjoying being with my family, and lazing about the house watching LoTR and White Christmas, reading books I want to read, and talking about anything but the next assignment due. Mmm... a nap is calling me.
