summer begins

well... here I am trying to feel like i'm all grown up. Sitting in my new Stringer common room, I can't help but kinda wish I was home with my family running around or watching tv; instead i'm just sitting here basically alone. It's not a bad alone, I feel fine, but it's just different... this doesn't feel like a dorm because everyone is gone to work or at classes all day... so I mean, I guess this is real life.

If you don't already know, I made the difficult decision to stay in Anderson this summer as a summer RA for little to no pay. I haven't gotten another job yet, but I'm trusting that God will provide for me how He sees fit and that things will be fine so long as I pursue Him in my plans and trust Him... that's kinda hard to say.

next summer i'll be interning and working my butt off to make ends meet and pay rent in the crappy apartment I'll most likely get. so I see this summer as good practice I reckon, and quite frankly, it's going to be good overall to learn to take care of some responsibilities on my own. idk, it's a growing experience for sure - just rough right now. anyways, i'm excited about this for real, and I'm going to stop complaining now. :)
