Post #4-- Real Creative, I know. Get over it.

Hello again dear faithful followers (ahahaha)
So this semester is very nearly over and I am filled with non of the usual feelings of loss and sadness as another semester of my college experience is done and gone. Don't get me wrong. I am a little appalled by just how quickly college is flying by. But for the first time in maybe forever, I am looking forward to my future more than my present. I recently decided (after a long arduous journey of not being able to decide) what to switch my major to. I was a Digital Media major, and am now soon to be an English Writing major. And I kind of want to kick myself for wasting a year and a half and now having to cram in all the classes I really want to take and mourning over the one's I don't have room for. For those of you who are confused as to why I would switch between these two majors, here's an explanation. I love stories. Stories are the cheese to my macaroni. (Figuratively of course, I'm lactose intolerant). And for my senior project in high school I wrote a play, had it performed and started writing a screenplay. And I fell in love with it. So I thought maybe a Digital Media major would get me into that whole Movie scene. But I soon discovered that I am rotten with technical shit (excuse my french). Seriously. It's bad. And my school does not specialize in one particular aspect of Digital Media. You see my predicament. So finally after a semester worth of praying, crying to my mom on the phone, and general unhappiness, I decided (with the help of my awesome friends) that I needed to switch to English Writing. So I'm really looking forward to next semester when I get to take classes that I'll be interested in, maybe even love (fingers crossed). Not only that, but I'm looking forward to my life, which is not a thing I have really ever experienced before. Fear is my constant companion, and this is one area where I used to be (and to an extant still am) extremely nervous about. Honestly, I used to wish I could just be that thirty year old who still lives in her parents basement. But I guess this is another area that I feel I've grown in. I still don't really have any idea exactly what I want to do when I graduate. But I do know that whatever it is, God's going to be leading me. My dear and loving Father is going to be there and I am so excited to see what he has planned for me.

Jer 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
