So in the past three days here’s what’s been going on:
I graduated from college and officially never have to go to school again unless I really want to. I have been going to school for my entire life. Does no one else see how incredibly weird that is? Anyway, moving on. I had to say a “see ya later” to about 95% of my friends as I moved to a different state. I moved out of the most perfect house into my parents house (Oh boy..) and lost a good 50% of closet space. The struggle is real on that one. I also finally put good ole’ Carmen the car to rest as we hauled her off to a junk yard after my dad realized I had been driving around without any breaks.. oops.
So here I am, sitting in Virginia, no friends, no job, no car. Seems kinda miserable right? Not gonna lie, I was not happy about it at first. The more I was unpacking my room, the more I was getting angry and realizing that this was a HUGE mistake.
But upon further reflection, this isn’t so bad.
I’m not going to be jobless forever. Hopefully, by the grace of God, I will have a job next week. (Please, Jesus please!) And my current, full-time, fundraising job I have going on is no joke. That’s a real job. I’ve pretty much vowed that when the race is over for me, and I don’t have to fundraise anymore, I will always give what I can to other missionaries going out, because the cost is big, and trying to raise it all is hard. With all this extra time I have on my hands now that I don’t have class and I don’t have a lot of people distracting me I can finally sit down and put some real fundraisers together.
The no car thing, really is a blessing in disguise. I have to be honest. My car was a piece of crap. I am honestly lucky to be alive after having driven it around for the past 6 years. It was that bad. Now with it gone, I have to drive something, right? Well hello daddy’s big Nissan Titan truck. I would love to occupy you while my dad is at work! Don’t mind if I do! 🙂
So here’s what today looks like:
Stop procrastinating my blog. Get on and remind people how much I need their help. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE HELP ME! (You can help by clicking the “Support Me” tab on the bottom right of your screen) 🙂 Send out more support letters, talk to churches and find out if they will let me come and make a presentation. Throw in some Yoga, maybe a little job hunting. Come up with a bunch of super creative ideas for a fundraiser. (So much easier said than done.)
So in conclusion to all of my rambling, I think I’m going to be too busy to really notice all the changes, and eventually I will develop a routine and adapt to life here in Virginia. It will become normal. So when July rolls around, I will have to go through these changes all over again. Every month.. ha. That I’m kinda looking forward to!
