A Week in the Life

Well, there is nothing too terribly exciting happening in my life other than me trying to make everyday be 32+ hours long rather than a mere 24!

Last Monday, I had my work study meeting for SLICE (Student Leader's in Community Engagement). I was excited to get my work placement at an elementary school. Apparently I'm going to be in charge of making sure some school programs are running and mentoring. I'm not entirely sure as I haven't had a day in the life yet. This job gets tied to Americorps where I will do 300 hours of community service and receive a scholarship! I think this job is going to be awesome for me, it should help brighten my week and make my life more interesting (haha like my life is dull!).

Tuesday, I had my Tuesday night college aged group Bible study. I am the missions leader for it so I usually always go and try to meet new people and make new friendships with new freshman to make them feel welcome etc.

Wednesday, I had a full day of classes as well as work which was hectic but I managed. I also had lunch with my old roommates from last year and I think we are going to make it a Wednesday ritual. I also had lunch with my friend Carrie. I'm blessed that her boyfriend works at the school dining hall and lets me eat for free on Wednesdays.

Thursday, I was excited to crash after such a long Wednesday. I had my accounting class on Thursday, it is a difficult class for me because the teacher is new and does not teach it the best. But I guess its a new style and perspective on things for me to learn how to deal with people like that later on. I also went to my Thursday night Bible study which is going through an exciting series right now. It is a great time of food, fellowship, fun, a message and some worship.

Friday, I had a leaders' meeting for church then directly afterwards, I had an orientation meeting for SLICE. I cannot wait to start my new job! Afterwards, later that evening, my roomie, Alissa and I grabbed some pizza and watched a movie together. We were super hungry when we ordered that pizza and we stuffed ourselves to the max that we went for a walk together. Ahh, good times and crazy adventures as always!

Saturday, one of my friends got married and it was a nice, small wedding. Melissa and I helped clean up afterwards as it was a potluck type of wedding. After the wedding, I slept for a good long while as I worked that night.

Sunday, I was bad and slept through church then I got up and did my laundry and went grocery shopping. Then I went to go hang with my friends that live on the border of Rhode Island and Connecticut. We went to these cliffs that overlooked a lake and a whole bunch of trees. It was amazing!

Yes, I am still working at the hotel, I work there 4 nights a week and it is going pretty well for me. I am done with training and I think I'm starting to get the hang of things.

The difficult thing for me right now is trying to find a balance for my days as I mainly nap and sleep 3 nights a week. It is hard to determine when I shower and when I do things that a normal person would do after waking up in the morning and before going to bed at night.
