While no one enjoys exams, I am not as horrified by them as I was last semester seeing as last semester I was unexpectedly plagued with mono the week prior to exams. Somehow I still managed a 4.0. If I don't do well on exams this semester I will literally have no excuse.
But as long as I can tackle my exams I will be on my way to a classless/examless summer!! woo hoo!
But please don't be deceived and think that my summer will be away from campus. & don't be deceived that this summer for me would even possibly mean sleeping in. No, no, no. This summer will in fact be one of the busiest in my life. Why? Because I have the incredibly important and equally exhausting job of Orientation Counselor for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte!! yay...
6 A.M. mornings until extremely late nights, Monday through Friday, May through August...
I really am excited about this position, though-yes, maybe I won't be able to tan at the pool and the tan I do get will be one of knee-length shorts and a collard shirt, and yes, maybe while all of my friends can go on spontaneous beach trips and vacations I will have to carefully schedule my get-a-ways during one of the three weeks I do have free. But despite these minor downsides, I get to do a job that I was made for! One in which I get to be around people, utilize my strength of Positivity, and counsel/guide incoming students. It's also a huge leadership role on campus and I am truly honored to have been chosen for this position.
I'm sitting in Earth Science right now.. not my favorite course. As I take notes on my computer, I tend to do others things like Facebook, or Blogging, or writing. I also tend to make To-Do lists and brainstorm different novel ideas. I want to write a novel... eventually.
There is so much I want to do. Like write a novel. Be a disney princess. Get a motorcycle and tattoo license. Own an English Bulldog. Hold a Sloth. Change the World. You know, just the typical things on a teenage girl's agenda. Actually, here's a copy of my current bucket list:

(the * are things that have so far been completed)
Oh one thing that I also hope to do, which for some reason I haven't yet put on my bucket list, is become famous... of course. :p
The journey to fame has begun on my humble YouTube Channel which currently has a wopping SEVENTEEN subscribers! I know, i know, i'm pretty much famous already ;). Last night, my youngest brother, Gideon, who is 10, and I covered Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men.

Class is ending, and so must this blog post. But though class is ending, this blog post is ending, and even this semester is ending, where there is an end, there is a beginning. As Tao Te Ching says,
Remember that the end inevitably reaps a new beginning and that beginnings can become even more glorious than what was left behind. At least this is something I am trying to cling to with all of the endings I have experienced recently and am experiencing now.
Endings are beautiful because they are the pathway into what will be.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
God even works endings into the perfect and good plan He has for those who love Him.
