i just completed my last final (yes, at 11:30.. oh the joys of an online class), and i'm feeling strange as I consider that this time next year, i'll have been in a new state w/ hopefully a new job for several months. this semester has been a good one. last semester was kind of crazy with adjusting to more hours with school and married life in conjunction with being a college student. this semester was more about finding my routine and getting some consistency. it's been fun to slip into the new normal routine with josh. but sure enough, just as things are settled, everything will get turned upside down again.
my final semester is going to look a lot different. josh will be in a different state. that's easily the biggest difference. i also don't know what department i'll work in.. hopefully still management and marketing, but my boss passed away on sunday and she's the one who assigned positions and made the schedule, so i'm not quite sure. it will be really strange not working with her either way. i'm also our ad club president. the club is in a transition stage. this semester's presidents got it organized. my job is grow the club and help it gain some recognition on campus. we also have an opportunity to implement a campaign for a company in murfreesboro, but the time-demands and size of our club makes that seem difficult. i may leave developing an agency to the next president. i'm just not sure yet. i'll be in a campaigns class of my own and only taking 15 hours - which is an incredible blessing because campaigns alone is the time-equivilant of a 9 hour class. the familiar faces and in-class friends i've made over the last 2 semesters within my department are all graduating in may or august.
point being: i'm excited but incredibly nervous for my final semester. i think i'm in denial about the stress of trying to land a job in a place where i have no contacts. everything i think about it, i start to freak out. i've got some time, so i'm just ignoring it for now and focusing on building my resume. regardless of the economy and the move and all the stuff that comes with moving to the next stage in life, i still wouldn't change it. a girl graduating in may told me today "i would give anything to be 16 again." i still firmly stand solid in the fact that you could not pay me enough money to be 16 again. i had no idea who i was or where i was going. i still don't know where i'm going or where i'll end up, but i know exactly who i am in Christ and that makes a world of difference.

ReplyDeleteWhit, I know you have so many big changes coming up in your life, but I also know that everything is going to be okay! I am so excited for you and Josh and the life that you are building together. Try not to worry about all the little things that have to come together (I know it's hard...I'm a HUGE worrier about everything!). They will because the Lord is in control of your situation. Enjoy these last months of college because they really do go by so quickly. You couldn't pay me money to go back in time and do it all over again, but I do wish I would have stopped to enjoy the moment because life will never be the same again. :)
ReplyDeleteLike you're about to do, I moved and had to find a job in an area where the only person I knew was Austin, who at that point in time, was my husband-to-be. I held so tightly to God's promise in Proverbs 3:5-6 and really had to trust the Lord every step of the way because I knew that He was calling me to move. Even to this day, one of the most amazing personal stories I have is how the Lord worked out even the tiniest of details to get me to where He wanted me to be in Knoxville (and how He threw in so many blessings along the way just because He could). I saw Him move in ways I had never seen before, and I learned to trust Him more in those few months of that transition than ever before. It was a very hard transition for me, even with the excitement of it all, but I would do it all over again knowing what I know now.
Just hang in there and know that we love you and can't wait to visit you once you get settled in!
