Oh the things we'll do...
...For the women in our lives. Yet do not be deceived by this statement, for I do not speak of a new love in my life, or a new chase, or whatever. Actually, I speak of my job and the women I work with; this past year I have been working at The Learning Center as the Graduate Assistant, doing all kinds of work, from grading tests, making copies, tutoring students, moving boxes, cleaning, and many other things, mainly doing whatever my boss asks me to do. But honestly, I would gladly do almost anything she asked of me (anything is a strong word), and it makes me happy to serve her and the center. It also pleases me to serve our secretary and the other individuals I work with, instructors of the learning skills courses that the TLC offers. It has truly been a blessing to have the chance to work with these people for the last nine months, and I will truly miss them when I leave.

Dear Xanga
I can't believe I am doing this. I don't much know why I am doing this for that matter. Yet I think it is safe to say the Xanga Era has ended. Course I think Google Reader is a big enabler in this happening as well. Poor Snickers...
As for me, this has been an interesting year for me. A lot has happened that I would never have expected, and a lot has failed to happen. Today, I received the first of four grades for the semester, and I am three A's away from a 4.00 GPA for my last semester of graduate school. How quickly it has gone by. A year ago, oh how I wanted school to be over. I was exhausted with school, but as May 1st approaches, I realize I have enjoyed this past year immensely. Creating new friendships, continuing old ones, rekindling even older ones, and learning how to say goodbye for now.
The time has also exposed me to things I believe I probably would not have experienced until I entered the world. That has been one of the most important factors to this period of time, and learning how to cope with that has been a trying thing.
For now, I do not know what the future has in store for me, or more importantly, what God has in store for me. I have yet to start worrying, but the time will come soon enough.
I do not know if it will work or not, but I have included the link for my dear Snickers below. I hope to click "Publish" and see him dancing across my screen. Otherwise, I will be very sad. Farewell, my dear Xanga. You served diligently.
