Books, Books, and More Books

Hey everybody! What's up? Week 2 of summer has quickly passed, and I am still doing my class! Yay! It has been going well so far, my schedule has worked out well. I'm seriously stressing about my TExES exam, which I have decided I will take on 21 June. Prayers would be appreciated, because test anxiety is real y'all. I was supposed to leave for Florida tomorrow, but some stuff came up and we are going the first week of July instead. I have been reading a lot this week. I am still working through Heartless  by Marissa Meyer, and then I will probably start on the Chiveis  trilogy again. The other books on my reading list I would have to get from the Library, and the LETU library is closed for the time being, so those will have to wait. I'll link to the Chiveis  trilogy down below. It's a Christian series, and it's so amazing. I hope y'all check it out. With summer here comes sadness and adjustment to not having my friends around. Some have stayed around for th...

Summer Came Around

Hey everybody! Happy summer! School is officially out for the summer, as far as most people are concerned. I, however, am taking an online summer class and need to take the TExES exam this summer, so more schooling for me. I have a pretty good outline for my schoolwork and studying, along with the nannying job I am doing this summer. I am going to be pretty busy! But, I am okay with this. I like to be busy and to keep my mind off of a lot of things. Bridey came and stayed for a couple of days this week before she left for Kenya. She is on a trip with the Wheels group from LETU. She has been looking forward to this for a while now, and I am so happy she got to go. This week also held a sad realization for me. I realized that Lissie graduated, and she won't be coming back to school in the fall. I was so busy with Faith coming and everything else in my life that I didn't realize that she wasn't coming back until a few days later. Needless to say, I cried for a good while. She ...

When the Bestie Comes Around

Hey guys! Sorry for dissappearing these last three weeks. It has been SUPER crazy between finals, hell week, and being sick. These past three weeks have been okay. I had a rough past couple of days because of some personal reasons. I have been reading a lot lately, and I have been loving it. Currently, I am reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer. I'll link to it down below. It is super good so far, and I am enjoying reading it. Yesterday, Faith decided to come visit. Y'ALL! MY BESTIE CAME BACK!!! It has been so much fun to have her here these past couple of days. We went to LETU grad today, and that was super fun. I have so many friends graduating and I know I am going to miss them all a ton. But I wish them all the best. This week, the songs of the week are "From The Ground Up" by Dan and Shay, and "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews. The Dan and Shay song is so cute and I have fallen in love with it. I want to play it at my wedding. The Jessica Andrews song reminds...

Hide Your Love Away

Hey everybody! I'm sorry for the lack of post last week. It had been a crazy busy week and I was exhausted. Hootenanny went AWESOME!!! I had such a blast shifting mics and I didn't get hit in the face with a microphone. That was my biggest goal. I am so going to do that again next year. I also got The Greatest Showman on DVD this past week. Oh. My. Glob. I am still obsessed with it. I have watched it 2.25 times so far, and there will be many more to come. These past couple of weeks, I have been listening to a song by Anthem Lights called "Hide Your Love Away". I'll link to it down below. It has been my prayer lately, that I will hide my love away and wait for the man God is preparing for me. It has been hard these past few months, now that I know what heartbreak feels like. So, I am going to hide my love away and wait. God will bring him to me in His perfect timing. In the mean time, I am going to enjoy my friends and the stage of life I am in. The other song I wo...

Spring is Here!

Hey everybody! Oh my goodness. Who is loving this weather? It's so gorgeous outside and I am loving all the green! Anybody else? No? Just me? Okay. I'll just go enjoy it by myself. Just kidding. This week has been crazy busy, but really good. I have been able to get a lot of things done, and have been able to relax as well. Yesterday was the Tennis Tournament put on by Pro-Life LeTourneau. It was so much fun! Definitely the highlight of the week, other than Passover. I'm still doing well in my classes, and enjoying being able to have time where I get to observe in classrooms. It has been so much fun to be an education major. I can't believe that I'm gonna be a senior this fall! Holy cow! Soon, I'll be a real adult human thing. Still not too sure about that though. I think this post is going to be shorter because my billow and book are calling my name outside. I have been reading Renegades  by Marissa Meyer. I am loving it so far. Her other book series, The Lunar...

The Exhaustion is Real

Hey everybody! I hope y'all had a good week this week. I did. It was so nice to be back in my normal routine and to be able to see peoples. Classes went well, and I enjoyed being able to hang out with my friends. There were a couple of rough days, just because my body has been so exhausted lately. I'm doing okay, emotionally. There are still some rough patches that need to be fixed, but I'm doing better every day. Next Friday is going to be really exciting, and I can't wait to tell y'all all about it. I'll leave it at that and leave y'all in suspense. I did something really huge yesterday. I went on stage during chapel to do a chapel announcement with a friend, and I was shaking like crazy. I was so nervous and borderline panic attack. But, it went well, even though I didn't say anything. I was able to complete the task, and I'm really proud of myself. I am still looking for a summer job thing, and I am hoping to have a couple of leads soon. I'll...

Movies, NCIS, and YouTube, Oh my!

Hey everybody! Not a lot has happened this week. It has been Spring Break, so there has been a lot of sleeping on my part. I have also been watching movies, NCIS, YouTube, and many other things to pass the time. I'm so happy that it's almost over. I'm still working on trying to get a summer job, so hopefully that will come about soon. I'm also starting to find stuff for my first apartment when I move out after senior year. If any of y'all have any ideas of where I can find stuff for cheap or free, let me know! Yesterday, I was sick all day. That was fun. Not. I'm feeling better today, just a little foggy and after effects. Emotionally, I have been doing okay. I have my ups and downs, but mostly ups. School has been exhausting, so that's a thing. I have also been studying for my content exam all week, so hopefully I can be somewhat ready when I take it (I'm still not sure when that is, but I'll let you know). The two songs for this week are "The ...
