It seems like a lot of things have been happening lately. But hey, can't complain too much because life sure hasn't been boring! I somehow last week got thrown into an interview five minutes after I found out about the job (bet you can guess how that turned out)... at the moment I didn't really think too much about the job, but they gave me a CD to watch after the interview, and I couldn't believe that I probably ruined my shot at something that seems so awesome. We will see how it turns out... but I really want it!
On Thursday I convinced myself to go to this exercise class called "Kick/Dance Intervals" thinking hmmm... wonder what that'll be like? An hour (and the days following) of ab stinging, thigh burning pain! That's what! It's a class where you do 2 songs of kickboxing then switch to 2 songs of dance, repeat. It's pretty intense but is alot of fun... haven't been that sore in a while!
On Friday and Saturday, I got to see Ander compete in the Distinguished Young Women of Alabama program. It brought back so many memories. Memories of my crazy section last year (love them), all of those rehearsals, events, letters of encouragement, etc. I ran into my host family from last year and many of last year's contestants. It was so great to see them! Ander did awesomely! I loved her sparkly Converses in opening number. Everything that she did was spectacular... opening number, fitness (terrific push ups!!), self-expression, and talent! I hope that she had a great time and gets plenty of sleep to recover from that exhausting experience :)
Mom and I stayed in Montgomery both nights, and I convinced her to come to Auburn with me this morning so that she could come to church with me! She seemed to really enjoy it. Afterwards, we went out to eat at Mellow Mushroom with Kinsey (remember the friend I mentioned earlier from Ohio? http://devin-williamson.blogspot.com/2011/09/sirens-and-fines-while-im-running.html) and one of her friends from the AU singers.
Lately, I've had 2 main things I've been praying about. One of them is to clearly know what I want to do for the rest of my life, and the other one is to find a roommate for next year. I haven't even a clue of what I want to major in. It's been quite frustrating because I feel like I need to make up my mind now. Everyone keeps saying, "Do what you love!" But the problem is that I don't even know what I love anymore. I know I love God, my family, my friends, I love being around people... it's just so broad. I don't want to pick something before I know for sure it's what I want to do. So with that being said... I have alot more praying to do. As for the roommate situation next year, I will not be rooming with Leigh Ellen. You might be thinking, "What, why not? Did something happen?" And the answer is no... Leigh Ellen has been fabulous. I truly couldn't have asked for a better roommate. It is such a blessing to have been "randomly" paired with someone with alot of the same beliefs and common interests and to be able talk about things with someone I can call a best friend. We've never fought about anything and we get along greatly. Leigh Ellen pledged Delta Zeta this year, and in Auburn sororities don't have houses. Instead, your sophomore year you have the option of living on your sororities hall in the Village if you meet the required academic standards. She hasn't been super close to any of her sorority sisters, so she wants to get to know them better and develop friendships with them... I completely understand :) So it's been time for me to look for a roommate. Mom kept suggesting different apartments to go visit... but I just felt like I needed her to go with me because I've never looked for a place to stay before. As for roommates, I didn't even know where to start. I have alot of acquaintances but no one that I'm really close to. Different people kept suggesting to me that Kinsey might not have a roommate yet, but I kept thinking that I was sure she had already found someone... she's just that nice.
So to continue my story from earlier, we were all at Mellow Mushroom eating lunch today. We were talking about apartments, and mom asked Kinsey where she was going to room this next year. She told us that she was going to live in the Village with some girls from Lakeview, then she looked at me and asked where I would be living. I told her the story about how I had no idea. A smile swept across her face and she said excitingly, "Oh my gosh we've been looking for a fourth roommate!!!" So of course she had to text the other girls (I've hung out with them before, they're really nice!) and ask if they already had filled the spot, but they hadn't! It's just nice to have a prayer answered like that... it was amazing!
AWW DEVIN THAT WAS SO SWEET :' )
