New York

This weekend I visited family in NY for a couple days. We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, went to the mall and made soup of Friday, and today we went to NYC. The whole weekend was fantastic; I met a lot of people at the dinner and the make-shift veggie soup was great. Today Deb and I went to a yarn shop in the Upper West Side and also a Vietnamese Restaurant. We fit right in in the yarn shop- they didn't even know we were out of towners.

I had a lot of time to think this weekend. My family encouraged me to think big and not limit myself as far as my life after graduations. It is nice to get that encouragement...Sometimes stressful though. It made me think about God and talk to him more about life. I am just reminded that the most important things to me are learning to become a better daughter, sister and friend, and trying to use the gifts God gave me. Life is really simple.

I am actually really learning a lot this year. I enjoy working at Head Start, and I am getting along really well with my supervisor. She is really good at teaching me. I like learning from her. My classes are ok, I keep telling people they are so good. I guess I don't know how to gauge them. What is good...bad..excellent or whatever. I am learning how to deal with people and different professors. That is good I guess. I like Sr.Seminar, service delivery is ok sometimes. It gets a little boring at times. Research is one of those things I just hope I come out alive after it is done. I don't mind it, but the professor doesn't know how to teach yet. That kind of sucks. I feel like I just keep jumping through her hoops that she makes in attempt that we learn. I like how Bernie teaches because she engages us in the process. MBJ does that too, but she has so much experience that she can put things into place and know that we will go through the learning process and be where we need to be as far as knowledge and personal/professional growth.
I like that method much better, but I understand sometimes I need to be the guinea pig.

It is 10:20 pm, and I am exhausted.
Tomorrow I have church and I should start of my paper for MBJ. I need to go early to church, since I am on the prayer team and I am a greeter tomorrow. Better get my beauty rest...Deb and Brian have such a nice bed for me at their house. It is so soft. Back to the ol' firm mattress. It keeps me in line:)

Night all..
