One Thing

I know I wrote earlier, but I have one last thing to say today.

COMCAST SUCKS!!!!

Lunch Break

Guess what I just learned, I can add blog posts while I am at work. Don't worry for all those who are concerned, I am on my lunch break. I am not sure I really have anything to say, I just pretty much signed on to see if this was possible.

Today I am feeling a little tired and slightly discouraged. I am not exactly sure why. Nothing horrible has happened and I average 7 hours of sleep per night. I guess I am starting to think about what will happen if I don't actually get a teaching job in Washington. It is scary to think about even though I have really wondered if I even want to teach. I guess the hard part is picturing myself doing something different. I wonder if I have skills other than working with children. I guess now would be a good time to find out. The bottom line is, I have made the decision to move to Washington and I feel good about that decision, so I will leave it in the Lord's hands.

Well, I best be going. The lunch bell will ring soon.

An Accomplishment

A weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I just finished editing my Masters project. After typing everything out, I ended up with 49 pages. I am amazed I was able to write so much. This week will involve me gathering all of the required documentation. After that is complete, my project will be ready to be turned in.

I want to thank my Momita. She went through all of my entries and edited them for me. Her suggestions really enhanced what I had already written. I really could not have done this without her. I needed her perspective to see the mistakes I had made and to validate the work I had done. My Momita is so awesome! I would be lost without her!

The Ocean

I just watched this very cheesy surf movie, "Blue Crush." I am not going to sit here and tell everyone it is the best movie in the world because it isn't, but it made me realize how much I love the ocean. For the past three years I have been completely surrounded by land. This is the first time in my life I have been land locked. Honestly, I feel trapped here. I can't wait to move back to the coast!

What I really love about the ocean is its power and majesty. I find it amazing something can be so calm yet terrifying at the same time. When I lived in Hawaii I loved crossing the street to just sit and listen to the waves. I would try to go every Sunday to read my scriptures and I will cherish those experiences. When I lived in Oregon, I would drive an hour just to feel the peace of water breaking.

For those who know me, they know I am not much of a nature girl. I don't get the urge to go hiking or to play in the leaves. The urges I get to be outside always draw me to water. I can't explain it. Maybe it is because the waves remind me so much of my own life. There are the moments when life is calm and the most beautiful shade of turquoise. Then there are the times when my life is a sea of gray towering waves. No matter what, it is constant and life giving.

My story

For those of you who I complained to, you know I had to write a story about polygons for my math class. I decided since Ny gave me the idea to write about pirates, I would post my story. It is now here on my site, underneath my guardian, Spike. I hope you enjoy.

Aflame

I have to post this next brief message just because it makes me really excited. I have officially starting applying for teaching jobs in Washington. I just sent out my first official application yesterday and I got word today BYU Hawaii sent my placement file out. (I was worried about this.) Also, I mailed all of my materials to Washington to get certified there. It is so exciting. I wish I knew other words to express how I feel about this move. I just had a brilliant idea, I will use a thesaurus. Give me a sec, here are a few of my favorites: hopped up, thrilled, on fire, wild, and delighted. Good times!

Graduation

I just received word I will be able to participate in the graduation ceremony at SUU on May 3. I am so very excited.
