I woke up this morning at 8am, just like I do every Tuesday. I got ready, ate breakfast and went to work for 2 hours, just like I do every Tuesday. After work I ate lunch, studied and went to class at 3pm. Now I am home to study a bit more, before going to hang out at a friends house tonight, just like I do every Tuesday!
Ahh! I hate doing the same thing over and over and over again. I have been doing ok this semester because at least my days differ in schedule and events but today it got to me. Today I looked back on my Starbucks/Campus ministry days and missed them. As hard as it was sometimes to not fit the schedules of most working adults, I absolutely loved not know my schedule for the next week and even when I did it was never the same as the week before. Yea I had a couple of things I did regularly but most of those involved church which I am used to.
Now I am back in school and I have about the same schedule every week. I enjoy what I am doing, I learn a lot and am so thankful to be here but I am ready for something different. I am really looking forward to a summer of total unscheduledness and then the fall semester which will be different than this semester. From this it might sound like I am someone who always looks to the future and misses the present, but I like to think of it more as someone who is excited for the opportunities and experiences of both. I just need variety and change in my life. It keeps things interesting.
So, I appreciate the moments of life right now but you also must know that there are 23 days until my semester is over. Hooray!
Where are you going this summer? Visiting home at all? We'd love to see you.
