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.

Quickie

I don't have time to really be leaving a post because it's probably not the best use of my time but I really don't feel like writing 10 pages on the Latin American Literature Boom of the 1960s. Some of it is cool and all. But what am I supposed to say on this subject? These guys loved the ladies, that's all I really want to say. But so what, all of hispanic guys are bred for love. Kidding.....

Well after tomorrow at 930 I think I can pretty much consider my undergraduate time over and done with. Exciting!!! Scary!!! I really hope God opens my eyes to the path he has laid for me. I don't know how badly I'd be freaking out if I wasn't confident that he is in control. Oh yeah. I love God, what a comfort he brings.

Ok. Well I'm going to close my eyes for 15 minutes or so and then hit this baby hard.
