This is the end...

...Of one chapter and the beginning of another. Today is my last day at my current job. I believe I have spoke of it before. It is a year of service through AmeriCorps, and today is the end of that year. It seems amazing and odd that it has already been a year, since I started. I know it has changed me as a person I believe, all for the better I would hope. Though with this job did come the lack of time to be able to do some of my own personal passions. It was a busy year filled with triumphs and lots of challenges, but I can tell you that from this year there is a lot I will be taking away from it. I feel like I can handle a lot more, I know it has taught me a lot about responsibility, and getting things done and doing them well. It has taught me how many little things go into the planning of programs and activities. And it has taught me to appreciate those who take the time to so all the work to make these happen.

It has taught me about who I am and who I hope to be in the future, but also how to take a stand for myself, and that I don't always need to try and people please. In hopes of satisfying others and not causing a big blow up. And that I need to take time to be a bit selfish and satisfy my needs and wants.

This past year has been a great experience, but I am ready to move forward. I am going back to college on the 22nd. So I have a week to clean up things that I haven't had the time or energy to take care of for the past few weeks or so. I have a week to re-energize myself and to anticipate the highs and lows of going back to school. I am excited for the sheer fact of it being school and being able to see my friends. But with that comes the stressers of school work and that teacher that you will never like. And that quiz or test that you completely forgot about so now your winging it and hoping for at least a B. This is the life I enjoy, the life of a student, and a college student at that. So I must admit I am excited for the prospect of being able to be bit more on the lazy side, the only downside is I won't have a job for a bit and will become a poor college student again. XD

So I am excited for this change in life and honestly this next week is gonna be me sleeping and cleaning and organizing. Also I am hoping I may be able to get a tablet. One of the passions that has been ignored for a while is drawing. And I would love to be able to do some computer images. And actually be able to use my hand instead coloring line art with a mouse. Which there is a bit of detachment from creativity with that. Since you are limited and it just feels slightly wrong.

But this is all for now, I believe.
Until next time my fellow Ramblers!
