No Title, No Complaints

So not really a lot has happened since my last update, although it feels like forever ago!
I'm still feeling the same way on my life. I just don't feel like school is for me. I found a church I really like though. They offer a lot of service opportunities and I got a pamphlet today with a lot of mission projects I could do. I think this was a sign from God.
I like where I am right now with school and life. I'm starting to volunteer at the Animal Shelter and hopefully will start getting more involved in the church. I'm doing well in my classes and am staying on top of them. Living with Stefani has also helped me stay organized, neat, eat healthy, work out, and go to church. She has helped me more and I've gotten a long better with her then the stories I've heard about living with her in the past.  Michael and I are good too! He's coming home in 17 days so its going to be great talking to him more, even if we won't be able to see each other right away.
Basically, life is good so why complain?

you get what you make out of it

so i'm doing good with blogging once a week!!
It makes sense to make smaller more attainable goals, then big ones. Hense why I didn't run a marathon.... it was too big of a goal when I haven't even ran a 5 k! Start Small.
I don't have a lot to blog about. I started over at OCC this semester. It's gonna be a joke compared to LTU, but I"m gonna take it as an opportunity to not slack off, but to do better and achieve the grades I know I can. RUSH is going on this week and next, we don't have any perspectives yet since basically everyone got taken out in the fall, but we are fine with that. It'll be nice to just work and get closer with my sisters and not have to be all crazy worried about the pledges.
So the theme for this blog, Life is what you make it to be. Look at it positivity, and a lot of things will go more positive.

This must be it, welcome to the new year

New Year, New Start. I'm gonna try to blog once a week. Hopefully it will last :D
A lot has happened since my last blog. I finished my last semester as an architect at LTU. It was really sad knowing I would never be back but come to think about it, I'm not sure if architecture is the life for me. I really would have no time to do anything.
But this is a fresh new start, its time to stop dwelling on the past and look to the future. I still am undecided where I want to end up after this semester. I have a lot of options.
1. take classes in the spring and summer at OCC and then go to MSU Fall 2011, and be graduated with a degree in interior design by 2013, only to get out of school, get a job and have everything figured out
2. take classes this semester, take the summer off, take classes in the fall and then transfer to MSU in the spring. Graduating a semester later.
3. Get an associates degree from OCC, graduate in 2 years, which will be my 4 year commitment to the O'rhos. Then I will have options. I can always go back to school whenever because I will have that degree.  I really just want to save up money, and back pack through europe or join the peace corps. I wouldn't be able to do that if I just go straight to MSU.
I feel like I am just doing things for me, and my future, and not helping anyone elses. Thats why I want to join the Peace Corps so bad, because then I would feel like I made a difference in the world. But then I think, am I jumping ship? I want to take 2 years off of school and out of my life to run around in Africa building huts, but I am doing absolutely nothing here.
SO here is my new years resolution: help here first, volunteer more and start changing the world in my own community before I start talking crazy. Start living in the moment, and figure out this semester before I try to figure out anything else.
Hopefully I will be here next week.
Thanks Blogger Land. <3
