Well it's spring break!! Yeaaaa! :) I got home last night and have already been shopping with mom and am having a good break. However, I still had a little bit of homework to do; a team project that's due tonight in one of my online classes.

This week our team was given a scenario with a crisis between two companies and told that our PR firm was called in to handle the crisis. We were given some specifics about the two companies and some guidelines and have to turn in a report of how we would carry out crisis response. As I've been sitting here working on it I realized how much I LOVE what I'm doing in school!! Even this morning I had someone ask me about school and was just saying that I have loved this semester more than any other probably, simply because I'm actually enjoying my school work.

It's so crazy to look back over all the things I've talked about doing from my 10-year-old days of wanting to open a "flower shop", to my 15-year-old days of wanting to be a marine biologist at Sea World, to thinking I wanted to be an Occupational Therapist my senior year of high school, and now here I am studying Public Relations and LOVING it! It just makes me so happy when I think about how worried I was going into college and even just last year when I wasn't really enjoying my major and thinking that I was doing all this work to end up with a job I didn't really like all that much and now knowing I've finally found something that is not only a great fit for me, but something I really believe I can excel in!

This girl, who doesn't like to read, was just thinking how excited I am to have this break to catch up and actually read through my PR book more thoroughly than I have been able to while I've been at school! How does that happen?! I don't know, but what I do know is that I am so thankful that God finally brought me to this place and gave me some reassurance for why I'm in school. I never thought I would be a working girl. Always just wanted to settle down and have a family. And while I definitely want a family some day, I now have this new found desire to work and to travel and to enjoy life doing something I really like and am good at!

Random little post, but I just got a burst of excitement and wanted to jot these thoughts down to remember someday! :)
