So far this semester I have managed to catch up on sleep, relax a little, and settle into my place at Bunkhouse. My roommates are pretty much the most amazing people in the world. I couldn't have asked for a better apartment for this summer. I also accepted the invitation to be an Outdoor Activities Coordinator for rock climbing and slack lining, which has been fun so far. And my calling in the ward is Elders Quorum Activities... guy. Both of these things have got my brain wondering over the future possibilities because I've really been pondering over my future career choices.
Recently I have looked closely into being a Physician Assistant, Physical Therapist, or some sort of Counselor. As I looked into these possibilities I really came to believe that I can really do anything that I put my heart and mind to, nothing is outside the combined efforts of the Lord and myself. Being honest with myself, however, I really see that the outdoor adventure education setting really does make me happy. Outdoor environments where people can open up, have fun, unwind, learn, grow, and make memorable experiences with meaningful people. I love the mixture of education, leadership, recreation, and counseling that make up the experiences that my work provides. My only concern is supporting my future family financially in a secure manner. I really just want to do what's best for my family and not just for my own personal satisfaction, though I understand that a balance of the two is optimum. As for now, it will be something that I will ponder upon over the summer and seek to plan out the best I can.
I really enjoy our FHE sisters as well, they are all very charming young ladies and know how to have a fun time. This past monday we played signs and a game with circus peanuts. We all laughed a lot, but not quite as much as Amy, our FHE mom. It is soooo fun to get her laughing because she can't stop and sometimes has to leave the room to regain composure. We all love it so much.
Oh, and I deactivated my Facebook account again, which feels so good. Last time I did it was about a month before I helped put on the Raise the Roof charity event and I had to activate my account for marketing purposes. I'm just glad it's gone again. My sister, Jennie, just texted me the other day and said that she decided to deactivate hers as well, though I don't think she has experienced the full beauty of the choice just yet. Mandy, my other sister, turned hers off a long time ago and hasn't regretted it. Now, I know Facebook isn't inherently bad, I'm just saying that for me, it is something that I do better without than with.
I hope I write in my journal more this summer, I'll definitely have the time, I just hope I find the motivation. Well, good night, sleep well, most likely kill you in the morning.
