Life's plans...

Isn't it funny how we always imagine how things are going to be... but somehow they don't always turn out the way you pictured it?

So far,  2012 has proven to be un-plannable.
In January, I started my second semester at Brigham Young University. I signed myself up for 16 credit hours and had my work cut out for me. My classes? Statistics, Physical Science, American Heritage, Book of Mormon (at BYU all students are required to complete 14 credit hours of Religion courses- ranging from scripture study to studying various religions and how they compare to Christianity), Art for Elementary Teachers, and PE for Elementary Education majors. The first three classes are said to be the 3 hardest GE courses..so why may you ask did I set myself up with such a heavy course load? Only one explanation.. I must be INSANE! I do not recommend anyone to take those three courses in one semester!
Later that month, I applied to get into the Elementary Education program so that I can one day sign my life away to teaching young minds the ABC's. I was so thrilled to turn the application in and arrive one step closer to my future!
In February, I started tutoring, as a service project for my American Heritage class, at Wasatch Elementary. Tutoring 1st graders? YES PLEASE! I loved having them read to me for an hour!!! What I love about being in the classroom is you have so many personalities around you! So many interesting conversations!
Also, in February I got all set up for an apartment in the fall with one of my roommates Sarah D. and our friend Mckann! I am so looking forward to moving in with those girls!
In March, I registered for Fall classes. When I applied for the Elementary Education program I set up a graduation plan. Prior to my registration date I even planed how I wanted my schedule set up down to the teachers, time, and section. Little did I know I was only going to get one of my classes I had planned on! But, they did work out!!! I now have a very light schedule with Fridays free of classes!!!
February, March, and April are now a blur of papers, tests, deadlines, and exams.
Now, I'm home for the summer and I had hoped to have a job where I worked last summer and had basically banked on it! But, my plans didn't work out as well as I had planned. So, now I am filing out job applications and working hard to get that summer job I need! I know it'll all work out! Its just a matter of it starting to soon!
So I am slowly mapping out my future but doing it in pencil from now on!
