My room is cluttered.

Classes are done! Exams are done! Grades are in! It all went very well this semester. My hard work paid off with my first ever 4.0! Definitely a defining moment for me as I see that I can do this every semester, I just need to work hard. With grad school applications rapidly approaching, I realize how important it is to build up my GPA as much as possible.

I have a few plans that I am considering, so I will tell you about them:
1. NYU (New York University) has a 1 year Master's program in Spanish Translation. The best part, though, is that it is in Madrid, Spain.

If I do not get accepted to that then I will be moving into option 2, which is:
1. Old Dominion University, a Master's in Applied Linguistics with a certification in Teaching English as a Second Language
2. George Mason University, a dual Master's in Teaching English as a Second Language and Spanish Education
3. University of Delaware, a Master's in Teaching English as a Second Language
4. New York University, a Master's in Teaching English as a Second Language
5. Regent University, TESOL
6. UNC (Chapel Hill), TESOL

Not sure which path God is going to send me down. I know which one I would like to go on first, but it's in His hands and I am open to whatever He has planned. Time and time again I see that He is a God that fulfills His promises and never leaves us to want. He has blessed me so much, and all I want to do is give Him the glory.

I cam home to Rochester Wednesday night. After an 11.5 hour drive in straight rain, we finally got in at 6:00 am. I hate getting in like that because I never sleep. I slept for 3.5 hours and was up and ready at 10. Since we moved to Penfield it's been a little weird being here. It's nice to see something different, but on top of not having my car with me, it kind of sucks. Oh well, I guess I'll get used to it, right?

I brought home a lot of stuff and it's currently just sitting on my dresser and all over the floor. I should probably go through it before I leave so that my family doesn't have to do it. I'm not sure if I should unpack any of it or just place the boxes neatly.

Today is my last day in Rochester, and I kind of wish I were sad to leave, but I cannot wait to get to Rockbridge tomorrow and then back to Norfolk to work and see my friends. When I get back I only have one week left in that house before I get to move out. Which reminds me that I need to place some stuff on Craig's List and cancel all the utilities. That will be a very great day.

I'm almost done reading my current book, and as soon as I finish I get to start World Without End! Very excited to read that. I'm also pumped for volleyball at Rockbridge.

Until next time.
