I have begun my final semester at Texas Tech University, and I am taking absolutely zero science classes. My schedule goes like this... feel free to be completely jealous :)
Tuesdays/Thursdays: 9:30 Gendered Lives with my boss as the prof
11 Intro to Creative Writing, Service-Learning Edition
12:30 Business and Professional Communication (glorified speech class)
2 Intro to Drama
Wednesdays: 1 Karate... yep, I'm serious.
Annnnnd that's it! I only have one final to take during finals week. Oh leaving easy classes for my last semester has been one of the best decisions of my life.
I'm taking the GRE on January 30th and then, hopefully, will be going to UTEP in the fall for their International Public Health masters program. I"m super excited but am also still looking at other international PH programs around the country... maybe I need to get out of Texas for awhile? El Paso is as far as you can get and still be in the state, but I'm keeping my options open!
I am counting down the days until the Denver conference. My project is going to be really neat. I will post pictures, I promise!
Also happening in April... the Walk for Lupus Awareness! It's the last Saturday in April and is a 5k in Farmers Branch at 9. My team is Vivien's Valiant Voyagers... much to Amanda Brock's dismay. I think it is cute and very me, so whatever Mandy! Get over it! Anyway, anyone can join the team, walk, donate, or walk and donate! My team's website is here, and you can either sponsor me, my mom, whoever else joins between now and the time you donate, or the team in general. Or you can join the team and get other people to donate! It's whatever! I would love for you to walk with me and my family and friends. Plus, you get a t-shirt! :) Amanda said she is the chief financial officer... so I guess if you have questions I would ask her! Love you Mandy.
I miss Gabriel and Carina and Axel and Lily and Johnathan and Andrea and Sander... and everything else that is Guatemala to me. Two of my greatest friends are not in the US right now, and I just feel so jealous of them. I know Christ has me in the states until He has prepared me for wherever He tells me to go, but sometimes I wish He would tell me already and give me an open door to get there. And if He is going to tell me to stay put, I wish He would go ahead and tell me so I can begin the heart-healing process. Ahh, I've just been thinking about the future so much since I'm about to be a college grad! I still can hardly believe it.
I'm starting to run... which is something I have loved in the past but haven't been able to in the present. It feels so exhilarating the day after, when your muscles are sore but you feel good about yourself for actually increasing your healthiness! My knees are killing me though, so that's the only downside. Oh well.
Doctor appointment on January 28th. Hopefully everything will be okay. My meds aren't working right now, so yay for an increase in toxins entering my body after that day!
Well, it's journal time... yes, I have to journal everyday as part of the creative writing process. Haha I don't have anymore ridiculously hard science classes but I have tons of busy work!
I'm going home the weekend before my birthday, so if you are going to be in the Dallas area let me know!
