Fears, Tears, and First Impressions

Oh man, how do I even begin to describe how crazy the last couple of weeks has been? RA training was exhausting, but I honestly had a lot of fun. I'm glad it's over though. God has put together such an amazing group this year, and I'm so excited to get to know each of these girls better. Being head RA has its tough moments, but it's been good so far.

I love freshmen. These girls are so fresh and excited about the new year. I think my opinion of what an RA is has changed so much since sophomore year. I'm much more relaxed with the rules. This year, I long to be relational. If I change my attitude, I know I'll make such a bigger impact. I've got to start from the beginning though. Their first impression of me will set the tone for the rest of the semester.

I still haven't gotten a job. I've been discouraged, but I know God has a reason for this, even though I may not see it yet. I'm just focusing on placing my trust in him as I continue to look for other positions.

Part of me is ready for school to start... ready for it to be over with.. Another part of me just wants to keep putting it off. I don't want to start school and homework and papers and tests. It's my last semester though, which makes my motivation much higher.
