Most times, when looking at what happened this week, I would be overwhelmed and exhausted emotionally, as well as physically. It was a crazy week! But God is amazing and I actually enjoyed the week immensely.
Spring Break.
It is a term all students are familiar with, but also babysitters. It means the kids are not at school and my life is a little more chaotic. Typically I dread three times of the year. Spring break, Christmas break, and the first couple weeks of summer break when everyone is still getting used to the new system of things. This week was rather fun though! I enjoyed getting to spend more time with some of my kiddos, and I did not have to get up early any time this week. I missed one family though because I did not get to see those kids at all. :'(
Start of term.
Another phrase all college students know, but are not typically as enthusiastic about as spring break. My college is set up with two terms a semester, so I have eight weeks, finals, spring break, new classes for eight weeks, finals, and then summer break. This week I started my new classes in the second term and accidentally put two really homework heavy classes together, so it was good to get the first weeks worth of work done while I had a little extra time on my hands. I am taking New Testament Survey and Philosophy 201 and highly enjoying both. In New Testament I have to read the entire New Testament over the course of eight weeks, but that actually seems easy now compared to two days. Philosophy also has A TON of reading, but it is good books and very insightful. Both classes will be challenging in their own ways, but I'm looking forward to them both.
Passover.
Every year my best friend's family does a version of the Passover feast from Exodus. I have been a few times and love going! Though this year I was working later than usual and did not get there until right before we ate, which was not planned, but rather nice. ;) After the meal, we do a Jewish dance that is so much fun and I get to hang out with some of my closest friends for a while.
Computer failure.
Yesterday my computer decided to die a very unfortunately timed death, as I still had homework due and nothing to do it on. Granted, the laptop was a rigorously used computer for five years, but it will be missed dearly. The result was having to run to the store and buy a new computer that day so my homework could get done on time. Not great timing, but I'm liking my new computer (Sparky) quite a bit.
To be continued...
The week is still not over and I still have some exciting things to do! Sleepovers, shopping, church breakfasts, Easter service, keeping up with Semester friends, etc. I am so thankful to God that I have the amazing life that I do and can do it with such amazing people!!!
