Well seeing how it has been about two years since being on this thing. I fell there is some catching up to do. I can't believe how time flys. Around this time I would still be at camp, but instead I was home taking a summer class. I'm not going to lie it was different being home for a whole summer. I felt kind of lazy. It wasn't at all like being at camp where every minute of your day is non stop action. (Even when you are trying to sleep and the fire alarm goes off right above your head, not cool) But I tried my best to see what I could help out with around the house. And I was able to visit camp for a weekend which was nice. It was good to see some old friends and see all the changes they made to the place.
The main reason why I stayed home this summer was to take the second half of anatomy. It went well, although I did find out that I do not make a good summer student, I would much rather be out in the sun relaxing. I'm not saying that it will be the last of me taking summer classes, but now it will be. I now know I will really have to work at being disciplined if I want to do well.
Something else that kept me busy this summer was trying to train for my first mini triathlon. I did a lot of swimming for it, I biked, once the day before the race. Than it came to the running and lets just say the only running that I did was the day of the triathlon,lol. I do not like to run with a passion. But after finishing that day I felt like I could take it back up again. I was just finishing the 12 mile bike ride when the first guy was crossing the finish line, he had already ran the 3 miles. Pretty crazy!!! And the first women to finish was the oldest one there. I'm glad that I did it to say that I did, but I hope to be able to train more for next year and do better.
Because of taking the summer class I was not able to be apart of the Jr. High ministry, which was a big disappointment. But last night I was able to go and it was very uplifting.
This fall I will be starting my first semester at GVSU and beginning my program in Therapeutic Recreation. I'm looking forward to having a support group and finally doing classes that I am interested in.
This fall I will also be taking a photography class at GRCC. I found an old canon AE-1 camera at a rummage sale for $8 bucks. It came with a zoom lens and everything. The flash no longer attaches to the top but I figure that is just a small problem. It takes beautiful outdoor pictures. I'm looking forward to what I will learn from the class.
I'm in the process right now of trying to find a new job and there are a couple options that have come my way, one is at the GVSU science building where I will be for the next three years, and the other is at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. Both have there advantages and disadvantages so now it is just waiting and praying to see which one God would have me pursue.
My dad is also working on trying to get a pole barn build. This will give him much more room to work on cars.
So you can see that a lot has been happening and that is just this summer. Hopefully I will be able to be a better blogger in the future. But until than, thanks for reading!!!
