Last summer, I took 2 classes so that I would be ready for
the fall semester. They were both online
and I really did not enjoy either of them.
I swore at the end of the summer I would NEVER do it again…
…well… that didn’t work out too well with my plan to
graduate in May 2013. You see, there
were 2 more classes that I absolutely had
to take before this fall in order for me to don a cap and gown next May (and I wanted that SO badly). So I said to myself the phrase I learned from
a good friend (whom I went to the Philippines with): “Suck it up, Princess” and
I signed up for the (ugh, online, I hate online) classes.
Well, just last week, I finished my VERY LAST summer classes
(and really, they weren’t too bad). I wanted to scream and shout for joy. I will never be working on school through
another summer. Hallelujah!
I am now enjoying a short 2 week break before I begin the homestretch of my college education. (Hence the thought to blog finally... ok, ok, it also took some prompting from a friend.) It feels SO good to be able to see the light
at the end of the tunnel… and to be able to say exactly what classes I have
left instead of “uh… well I’ve got a ways to go…”
It gives me more time to cheer on my husband who recently
started taking classes at an exclusively online university called Western
Governors. He just started about a month
ago, and can’t see the light at the
end of the tunnel yet. SO I will be the
cheerleader as he works hard at his full-time job and at full-time school. It sounds
exhausting, but he’s surviving so far!
Love you babe!
On a completely unrelated note, I may have to share that
phrase with my sister, who will be leaving for Africa in less than a month; where
she will be spending the next 18 months “sucking it up.” Putting aside many of her personal comforts
to serve the people of Zambia by bringing them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m so proud of you little sister, for making
the decision to serve a mission!
