Driving home after a night of babysitting, the thought hit me - I am so blessed.
Why am I blessed?
#1. I was accepted to CMU's Physical Therapy program! It's not my first choice school, but regardless of the rejection I received from GVSU and the decisions I am still waiting on, I will be attending PT school somewhere next year, and I will be one step closer to my goal! God is good.
#2. My roommate, friends and family are amazing. Through the ups and downs of this semester, so many people have been there to listen to me vent, to laugh with, to study with and to just bum around with. Even though Fall 2011 will go down in the books as "Suckiest Semester of College" ... without all of the amazing people in my life, it could have and would have been a lot worse.
#3. FINALS ARE DONE. IT'S CHRISTMAS BREAK. THANK YOU, LORD.
#4. I have some pretty awesome jobs. The library - easy work, fun people to work with. Target - stressful some days, super fun other days... but the girls I work with and the managers I have - so great. There isn't a shift that goes by, no matter how horrible, that I don't spend a decent amount of time laughing. How can that be bad? And finally, babysitting - the best of the three jobs! Two families, but all of this is true - the kids are smart, sassy and hilarious. Eating chicken nuggets for dinner, playing tag in a basement and watching Charlie Brown ... it's good for the soul. Not to mention, all of the parents are some of the best people ever - I love chatting about life with some wise moms when they get home from a night out and the kids are sound asleep.
#5. It may be 2:15am, but I have no alarm set. Sleeping til noon is 100% on the agenda for my Saturday, and after the longest 16 weeks of my life - that is a beautiful blessing.
See? I told ya I'm blessed :)
