On a Kick

Every once in a while I go a little nuts and get on a kick of trying to get my life together. Seems silly I know. I just so happen to be on one of those kicks now. I am seriously searching for a full time job so I can move out of my parents house into my own place and get a car that's a bit... well, more reliable than the one I drive now. I am also having the WORST time trying to pick a major and stick with it. Though the more research I do on Sociology, the more I fall in love with it. I now just have to pick a minor to really stick with. And to be quite honest, I'm thinking about double-majoring in Poli-Sci and going to law school. I know it sounds crazy, but it's something I've always really wanted to do. Not for the money, but as something I actually really like and that I'm pretty good at. I've always dreamed to be "one of the good guys" you know? I would love to use it to help with the international stuff I want to do later in life. I am really passionate about India. Like I know it's something that everyone hears from me once in a while, but it's not something that ever really leaves my mind. I really feel called by God to be there for some reason. The culture, the people, I just feel so drawn to it. I know I kept talking about how I wanted to go there next year, but with much prayer and thought, I feel God leading me to something more. I need to graduate from college first, so it may very well be 10 years before I get there, but I know I'm going. It feels good to be able to say I know where God wants me, even if I don't know how or when I am going to get there or even what I am going to do once I do get there. I am thinking of going to Wayne state in the fall, that is if I can get everything in my life in order by then. My goal is to move out of my house and have a new car by my birthday. That gives me 4 months to be settled. I want to pay off all my credit cards and start saving money. If ANYONE knows of a full time office job that I could apply for, please let me know. I have tons of customer service experience (you tend to get that way when you are a receptionist at a busy tax office because every one wants to yell at you :) and I love doing it :). I dunno. I just feel like I really need to get things in motion. I feel really driven. I hope this lasts.

In other news...
Just want to let everyone know that the moment you say you don't want a boyfriend EVERY GUY in the FREE WORLD hits on you. Seriously I decided that I don't want to date at all for a while (because like I said, I am trying to get my life and everything in it in order). But honestly, I have never been hit on so much in my life. Sitting down and really thinking about all the things I have going on, I realized that I just don't have time for a serious relationship in my life right now, and once I said okay, I'm not available, EVERYONE has been hitting on me. It's ridiculous.

Two of my classes are over for the semester!! YAY! After this last tuesday class this week no more school until the fall! Woo-Hoo! It is such a wonderful, welcomed break. Working 50 hours a week and going to school full time was CRAZY! I'm so glad it's done with. Hopefully this will be my last week not working and it'll just be like a vacation. I have 4 books I'd like to read and a season of 24 to finish.

I hear Ryan is starting up Theology class soon. I can't wait for that. Class I will really actually enjoy :) I love learning when it's things that I'm actually interested in. Well I have printed out a bunch of papers on classes and curriculum sheets I want to read and I'm gonna watch 24 for a little bit before I head off to Jon's for the Wrestling Pay-per-view at 8.

Love you guys! And thanks for reading :)
