I can't describe it.
I just can't describe this feeling!
I just can't believe all the wonderful, crazy, stressful, amazing, adventurous 2010 I've had.
January: Was the start of my last semester at Sierra Community College
February: Was the 4th anniversary of my grandfather's passing
March: My mommy's birthday and last midterms of community college
April: Easter Break and getting to spend time with my grandmother before my move
May: Graduation from Sierra Community College with 2 AA Degrees (Deaf Studies and Liberal Arts with Music Emphasis); and having a going away family party
June: Getting ready for my first move to Idaho; spending time with all my friends and another going away friends/church party
July: Awesome 4th of July party at my uncle's house and my big move to Idaho
August: A quiet, boring, slow end to summer. (Yay for the peace before craziness!); First day of Northwest Nazarene University on the 31st
September: One year since I had been depressed. Most people don't really know this about me, but for whatever reason in September 2009 I was very, very depressed. The only reason why I had to get up and do anything was because I had to. I had to go to school, I had to go to work. (The best parts of that month were the kids at Emmaus Church!) This was also the part of the semester when I got really, really sick and all I wanted was to hear my mom's voice....so I called her....it made us both cry. And this was when my grades started to slip
October: First midterms at Northwest Nazarene, and my grades continued to slip because of overloaded schedule of school and work. I don't recommend 18 hour days. Halloween was fun. I decorated my grandmother's house and dressed up like a vampire and passed out candy
November: I stopped working for Target to try and save my grades. Although I quit work, I still don't know where those hours went to, because it seemed like I didn't have an extra 22 hours of nothing...I was really glad that I was able to quit and focus on school. Also, Thanksgiving was awesome! Just about everyone from my mom's family was there and my parent's and my sister came up to celebrate!
December: December is always my favorite time of the year. Not only because my birthday is during this month, but because Christmas and the cooler weather and all the memories of my childhood always come back to me. I turned 22 this year. :O I couldn't believe it and it was the first time I wasn't celebrating with my twin sister. Also, first finals of Northwest Nazarene....I hope I did okay.....I just barely passed my classes before the semester ended and I studied as much as I possibly could have on my finals......Having 5 finals takes a lot out of a person.
Also, I got this amazing opportunity to volunteer for CB (Commissioned Believers) Deaf Ministry to be their Adoptions Coordinator and Facebook Manager and I accepted it! I am SO excited and I can't wait until I officially start with the ministry!
I am also going to start an American Sign Language Club at Northwest Nazarene and work toward raising money for different deaf schools and orphanages in Africa that are being sponsored by CB Deaf Ministry.
During this time of Thanksgiving and Christmas I am just so excited to share this with you!
Merry Christmas and have a WONDERFUL 2011
God Bless
