So, I sit here, in my room, in Zeta Chi. A week from now, I will be in my new home in Olathe. It is weird to think that in a week's time I will be leaving this place that has helped me out the last four years. There is good news about everything though:
I am excited for the future.
Let me be clear, I am not always excited for the future because I know what the path will be. I have not made a full decision on the next steps, not even close. But I am excited for the future because...well...I am excited to see what is in store.
But here is what I do know:
I will be moving to a townhome in Olathe, KS on December 28th. I will not be living alone however. My old compadre and one of my partners-in-crime in college, Eric Ford, will be rooming with me, along with his cat Lancelot and Teresa's cat Gatsby. I will be posting pictures here and on Facebook when we get settled in.
On January 2nd, I will start my part-time job as a teller at Capitol Federal Savings. The specific branch I will be working at after my training is at 135th and State Line in Leawood. The great news about this job is that the hours work PERFECTLY with my youth ministry job, and it gives full benefits While I didn't need a lot of the benefits I will be receiving, it will be good to have experience with them before I get too far into my post-college life. Not to mention that it will allow me to make ends meet comfortably without much worry as well as starting to save for grad school.
I am very excited for all of this, and to continue working at Stilwell UMC. I have to admit, it is very weird to be in this time off period, but after talking to all of my grad school friends, I know I am making the right decision by taking some time off. While I would love to be applying to places and looking and getting ready to go in the fall...I want to take that time. I am patient (even if I am very excited). I can't wait to see where I what the future holds..and that includes the future in a week time!
