It's pretty ridiculous how busy I feel I've been lately. It's really a pretty weird thing, I feel like I'm busy and have a lot to do but then I look back and I can't really figure out what I did. It's been frustrating for sure. I always thought I knew better but I might have put too much on my plate. I don't see how it happened. But it might be the case.
Haven't taken many pictures lately but it's going to be happening soon and they'll be on here.
I promise.

Snickerdoodle
I've been working at TT's for a few weeks now since I was unable to get a real job, whatever that is. There's days I love it and there are days I hate it. I love it because my co-workers are fun, I deliver cookies, I get to drive around and listen to music, I usually don't have to wake up early, I get to help people out at the register or sit in the back depending on how I feel, and I have a schedule that so far is pretty flexible. And because I've decided I'm going to give the Austin Stone AVLC internship a shot it allows for me to be able to put in some quality time at the office if I want to. Which I probably will.
The down side to working at TT's is that I'm not really taking my professional career anywhere by working there, I'm working hours that keep me from waking up at a decent hour, sleeping in is keeping me from looking for a better job, I'm probably wearing out my car, although I'm not pounding down cookies I'm eating more than I normally would, I'm not making enough to save any money, and I'm just not 100% satisfied being there so I don't like it.
I'll be honest and lay it out there that I'm not really sure what exactly I want to do, but I do know it's not this. I want to see what all is available and check it out on a case by case basis and see what I feel I could do. Who knows I might be happy selling industrial sized screw drivers to freight train companies or something. I really don't know. God has a plan for me though, and I know that when I'm where I need to be I'll know it. TT's is not it.
Austin Stone Intern orientation is Wednesday and I'm nervous and excited. I've been waiting a long time to get an opportunity like this one, although back when I was really into working at a church I thought I'd be doing youth stuff, but the AVLC internship is definitely what I'm feeling at this point in my life. I'm hoping it will be one of the more life changing moments in my life. I love Chris and Phillip and am really excited to get to work with them and do life with them as we serve the church.

Pfffffffff
So here's the deal. Yesterday I decided that I'm going to give it a go and try to stay in Austin until the end of the year. This is going to require me to find some sort of job to make ends meat with. I don't think that'll be too difficult but just like everything else I try to do I find a way to make it more difficult than it should be. What I'm battling with is I'm not really sure if I should search for a part time job that is basic and really doesn't require a degree, or if I should give something a little more professional a shot. If I weren't planning to leave for the first job offer I got I wouldn't see a reason not to get the latter, but I don't want someone to go to the trouble of training me and thinking that they have a good thing going and then just leave. I'd rather someone just find another employee quick and easy. But I'm not sure.....
Another thing that has come up that could possibly be be cool would be getting a real estate license and giving that a go. I've thrown the idea around to a couple people and so far it seems like it might be a good idea. Even my mother jumped on the idea and seemed to be really supportive. My moms support on the matter is definitely a big factor in my even considering the idea. Never thought it would be an option, but I'm really starting to like the idea of it. I actually like it a lot. We'll see what happens.
So life has been kind of rough not having a job and all, but lately there have been some new curve balls I wasn't expecting as well. Definitely ben distracted a lot but thank God I think I finally feel like I'm getting back on track. Sometimes my priorities and focus gets thrown off and it takes me running into a wall to realize that i've veered of the road I was on. What really gets me is the fact that the new road isn't a bad thing, you could think of it as more of a detour or different route to just about the same place. I really just need Gods guidance at this point in my life. Way to many possibilities and decisions to make that should not be made without a lot of prayer.

Still No Job
So here's the news from the front line. I'm still unemployed. But honestly I'm ok with that right now. If I didn't have all this free time I wouldn't be able to do things like go off to Omaha for the College World Series, which was definitely an experience to remember for many many many reasons.
This week i'll be applying to some jobs which I consider pretty high profile and legit and I'm really hoping to get at least one interview out of the deal. As of now I've really not had any call backs from jobs that I want so hopefully this week brings around some change regarding that.
Keep me in yalls prayers.

And so it begins...
So I'm now on a crazed hunt for a job. Not really a physically crazed hunt, you won't find me convulsing and running around trying to find a job, but rather a calm, collected, yet crazed deep inside and picky web based job hunt. Those of us who have grown up and graduated with the internet are very fortunate, can you imagine what looking for a job would be like if we didn't have the internet? I wouldn't be able to just lock myself in my cave and have an almost non-physical job search. Honestly though, only part of my body that's moving right now are my hands. It's ridiculous.
I just got back from my post graduation vacation to Playa del Carmen. I definitely caught a lot of sun as most of you guys will be able to tell, also gained a couple pounds. It's just really hard to say no to Mexican food. It's just so so good. We had guacamole with every meal we could, it was amazing. It was such a blast. It was also great to have Josh and Gibby there to share it all with. They're probably the best travel buddies I could ask for. We seem to be interested in seeing the same things and get a long fairly well. Hopefully we can continue these travels of ours long into the future.

So what's next?
I'm in a very interesting position. More than ever do I have to keep my eyes open to the Lord's will for my life. Until now life has had a flowing route as one thing just kind of led to another, but now there's nothing really to flow to. At least I don't think so. I am ready and willing to go and do whatever I'm called to do I just hope that I don't have to wait long to see what that is. But I will be patient if i have to.
I turned in my final assignment today. As long as I don't fail any classes, which I'm pretty sure I didn't, I'll be getting my diploma May 22, 2009. I can't believe it. Some days I really didn't think I'd ever see this day. I'm very happy. I wish my dad were here to share this moment with me though. He was a big part of drive and desire to stand back up when I felt like I was knocked down. I think he'd be proud. Unfortunate he can't tell me in person though. His approval was something I always strived for whether he knew it or not. I miss him.
In other news, a week from today I'll be relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Playa del Carmen with a couple of my buds, Josh and Gibby. We've got this glob trotting streak going since we've traveled through Spain and Morocco together, next is Mexico. It should be a blast. More than anything I just want to get my mind off everything and just relax. I want to read on the beach for hours and not worry about anything. I'm excited.
Recently I've been hanging out with a bunch of new people and it's been a blast. Fresh faces, ideas, and laughter. I can't get enough of them. I do miss hanging with all my boys though. Since school is over hopefully I get some good quality time in with some BYX guys.
May 22nd, 2009. The day I graduate.

CMA 3.108
CMA 3.108, rooms like this one have been a favorite of mine for late night studying. Reason #1: Huge table with power outlets and other gadgets available right smack in the middle of the table.
Reason #2: Headphone jack which gives allows for you to listen to music over the speakers installed in the classroom. Big plus in my book.
Reason #3: Can be as intimate or rowdy as you want. Bring a friend or two or three or don't.
Reason #4: Easy access to parking at 5:45 and later. Big plus for those late nights when you dread a long walk to your car.
Reason #6: You can control the A/C. Yes, the rooms have individual thermostats.
Reason #7: Wooden chairs that aren't harsh, but aren't super comfortable either. Allow for increased focus and what I like to call a "power posture." Definitely increases productivity.
Reason #8: Access to Document Cam, Projector, VCR player, and DVD player. I've come in and watched movies. Even in the huge auditorium on the lower floor. Too bad the move was eh.
So if you're still going to be around at UT listen up. Study at the CMA in your own private room. Doesn't make sense not too.
