When I started taking college classes again last quarter, I felt overwhelmed, and wondered if my old pea-brain could handle all of this... and I only had ONE class! Then this quarter I took two 4 credit classes, and was willing to settle for a lower grade if I couldn't actually get all of this info into my head. But I have done quite well, and was practically shaking with excitement to take my Intro to Business final this morning... I missed more than I should have, but finished with 94% for the course. My computer class final is on Thursday and I'm feeling pretty confident about it also. I'm just giddy with the thought that I might be smarter than I was thinking I was.
I need to hold onto that feeling as I begin my Spring quarter in two weeks with three classes, 11 credits. What am I thinking!!!? I am SO, TOTALLY terrified! I'm not sure I'll "sail" through, but I will probably do better than I am thinking I will. I mean, I sure hope I do. Keep good thoughts for me please :)
And now... on to Goals.
When I was turning 30, I was blessed to share the event with my best friend, whose birthday is just the day before mine. 30, it's a big number, a turning point in a person's life, especially for a woman. My friend was married, had two small children, was purchasing a home in California, had a nice church family... things were good. My husband and I were traveling through, headed to Louisiana for school. We had plans for school, a family, missionary work... lots of plans and goals. (Things didn't quite work out the way we had planned, but that was the direction we thought we were headed.) While I was excited about my birthday, the future... my friend was having the "I'm turning 30! blues. I admit I could be wrong, but I always felt that she was in the accomplished part of her life. Yes, she had things to look forward to, but a lot of her life, at the moment was "routine." But I had things to look forward to, be excited about...
ooh, the "Look Forward, Anxiously" lesson again...
I now have new goals and plans that I am looking forward to. I must say I've been in a bit of a funk since my divorce three years ago, but now, today, I feel like I have so many things ahead. A plan with my schooling and a vocation, a vacation to coordinate with my same best friend to Hawaii, a business idea, plans to find friends who want to go biking, hiking and fly-fishing. Plans and Goals. All day today, I've felt like a puppy whose tail wags it's whole body! Butterflies in my tummy, which I haven't had in years! I just feel all happy-wiggly!
Then again,
it could just be my medication kicking in finally after three weeks!
:) lol
