Summer blogging fail

Guess which aspiring author dropped the ball on her blogging this summer?

This one did. Oops.

So here's a brief overview of what all went down for me this summer.

1. I worked for Legoland Discovery Center in Grapevine, Texas. And it was quite an experience. I've learned that parents can find something to complain about everywhere if you want to, that there is a reason for a legal driving age (and, as simple as "press the pedal and steer" is, a four-year-old cannot comprehend it), and the technical term for the little Lego pieces is a "Lego brick". And if I have to see those in mass quantities ever again, I might shriek like a banshee. But the people who I worked with kept things interesting and it was a cool mission field.

2. I am absolutely awful at math. Just terrible. An embarrassment. But I'm done with three hours of math (hallelujah!) and completely finished with my political science credits. So, while June was a grunt summer of late studying and lots of working, it was definitely good. It was stressful, but it's over. Again, hallelujah! July was much better!

3. God is good. He's enough when I'm not.

4. This is shallow, but after being flirted with by all of my male coworkers, I have more self confidence in not only my appearance, but personality. God has a funny way of teaching lessons. And His sense of humor is something to be reckoned with.

5. I'm seriously addicted to the Olympics. U-S-A! U-S-A!

6. Planning an apartment is actually fun! Who knew I'd get into interior design? If you could even call it that. But I am excited about my new nightstand, so now I know that I'm definitely turning into my mom. Yikes.

7. My Rangers obsession has grown. Yes, it is possible. I love my Arlington boys. Possibly too much.

8. I'm rereading the Harry Potter series and want just a sprinkle of JK Rowling's writing talent. That woman is amazing.

I leave to go back to College Station for a week tomorrow. Impact is on WEDNESDAY! I can't believe it's already here--I still distinctly remember picking up my letter that said I was actually going to be a counselor. The kids I've been praying about for months are going to be loading buses in only a few days!!

All-in-all, a crazy/busy summer with lots of learning and it went a lot faster than I thought it would, which is a good thing. Do I wish I'd had more downtime before launching myself into another school year? Sure.

But I'm ready for sophomore year.

"I do not consider that I have made it [life] my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14.
