Lifes Tornado

I have felt like I have been in a tornado the past few weeks. I came down to Dallas after the family reunion to help Holly and Aaron haul some of their things back and to hang out. I looked for a job, and Aaron was having lunch with the president of DBU one day, and asked if there were any jobs avaliable that he knew of. Well, things happened and I found myself meeting with Dr. Cook about a "job". Come to find out, there really was no job persay, but if I wanted to go back to school he would find something for me to do at DBU so that I could take some classes for free. This meeting was on a Fri. and I had to make a decision by Mon. I drove all the way back to CO and since I was traveling on Mon, I didn't make a decision till Tues. I decided to give it a try, and see what I thought about school after all these years. I moved down to Dallas Sun. the 22nd, and started school and work on the 23rd. I had to register for classes, fill out an application, declare a major, start training for a new job, meet with the HR person, and just got the general run around from everyone. I was supposed to have class that day as well, but I didn't go because I didn't get registered for that class until after it started, and I was so tired and annoyed that I just went home, so tomorrow I will go to that class for the first time. I am taking painting 2 and lifelong learning. Painting will be fine I think, but the other class is going to be a bore. Hopefully, I can get through that class without giving up. I am working in the mail room at DBU, and I don't really know what to think about it yet. To be honest I'm not thrilled with it, but it is a job and most likely I would be working that kind of job anyway. So, needless to day, my life has felt like a tornado. Hopefully, it will calm down and I can get used to a new city, a new job, new people, new church, new friends, new classes, new schedule, new craziness. I feel somewhat overwhelmed. Now you are updated on what has been taking place in my life in the past few weeks. If you don't feel completely exhausted after reading this you have more stamina than I do.

  3. Things will settle down some. Just keep on keeping on. You never know what is around the bend, unless you are like Catherine (spelled with a "C") and have no bend in your road and can see straight to the horizon. hahaha
