Fall Break

Well, last Wednesday morning I got up at about 6:30AM to drive home for Fall Break. I didn't really have that long for break, but I needed to spend some time with my family and so I skipped a couple of classes. I got home just in time for my Dad's retirement party. On Thursday, I had a very god time going to visit my High School. I got to see a lot of people that I haven't seen for a long time, which I always enjoy doing. I also did some shopping. This weekend I got to go see a movie, which I have been wanting to do for a long time. I also got to go to church on Sunday, which was very encouraging. I was very glad that I was able to go home and see my family. One of the most exciting things I got to do was see my niece. She is almost three months old and has changed so much since I last saw her. I got to hold her and she smiled at me :). She is so cute.

Coming back to school was quite intersting. I wanted soem company with me while I was drivign back, so my mom rode with me and was planning on riding the train back home. This didn't exactly happen. The train wass about three hours late, so she decided to just spend the night and go home this morning. So I took her to the train station this morning before class. She finally got on the train around 10AM and then got home around 3:45. We could not believe how late the train was running.

Major Decision!!

Well, today I made a major decision. I have officially changed my major to nursing. I have been attending Career Counseling with our Career Services Office and I took soem test to figure out what I enjoy and what jobs would be best for me. I looked at all the numbers and have come to the conclusion that being a pediatric nurse would fit me better than teaching elementary education. I have much more of a scientific mind than a creative mind. I am hoping to be a pediatric nurse in a hospital or some other setting, like a doctors office. I also may use nursing to go to the mission field. I am really excited about this decision and am still praying about it to make sure that this is what God wants me to do. This is obviously more imprtant than me just doing what I want to do. There some big advantages of the nursing program as well. Hopefully, this will not set me back too far when it comes to graduation. I have an appointment with my new advisor tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this will help me figure out what exactly I need to do to graduate and when that will happen. I would once again appreciate your prayers as I go through this transition and try to decide for sure that this is what God wants me to do. I will keep you updated on what happens.
