Oh hi there!

Oh that's right! I have this blog thing that I write in every now and again to satisfy my writing needs! Well, now I have two jobs and seven missionaries that I write (speaking of which, I need to write some of them today) so it's been kinda crazy in my life.

First, let me recap my two jobs. I work for TCU Human Resources, which is pretty fun. I worked full time there for 12 days in a row, which got to be pretty intense. I mostly just do the odd jobs, like scanning things, or mailing things, or alphabetizing things etc. However, I was able to use my International Services skills to help a student out, and it was AWESOME. Just getting to hold an I-20 again and use the acronyms"OPT" and "CPT" made me so happy. I'm so excited to go back to doing that every day!

I also work as a lifeguard for the YMCA branch near my house. It's actually pretty good, but then again, I haven't really worked a million hours a day in the sun since I've only been there a week now. That will change this Saturday, as I will be working a triple aka three shifts back to back to back. It's going to be intense. And hot. But hopefully it will go well, and above all- MONEY! Another great aspect is that I get to work with people who are closer to my age range. I love the people at HR, but there are so many grand-baby stories that you can hear before you start realizing that you're not really in that stage of life right now. But next week, my very dear friend Jessie will be coming home and working with me at HR, and we are going to RULE THE WORLD!! Or just have an insanely awesome good time. I'm so stoked.

So yeah, those two jobs pretty much constitute my life. I'm working abou 55-60 hours between Monday and Saturday. Thankfully I don't have to work Sundays or Monday evenings, so I get to keep going to church and Family Home Evening with the Singles Ward. (I love FHE. It's pretty awesome. This past Monday, we learned how to properly paint with water colors. The Monday before that, we played Ultimate Frisbee at the park, and the Monday before that, we played the most intense game of Uno that I have ever played! So much fun to be had!)

Oh the Singles Ward. At first, I didn't really know what I was doing there. I felt a little outta place, and it was just so tiny, which I wasn't used to. I was used to 180 people, not 40. However, I've grown to absolutely LOVE it! Part of that has to do with my calling, and the other part has to do with the fact that everyone is just so accepting, it's wonderful.

Ok, so calling. I'm the "Ward Music Chair" which typically means that I just oversee all of the musical aspects of the ward. However, since the ward is so small, I am the musical aspect of the ward. I play the piano during Sacrament meeting every Sunday, and I direct the choir, which is wonderful! I love choir. So much. I never really realized how much I love singing until I got put in charge of helping people sing. It's fantastic. And the people in choir are amazing. Our first (and so far only) practice was held two Sundays ago, and about 20 people showed up, which was great! That's pretty much 50-60% of Sacrament meeting attendance. I'm so proud of them. Choir is pretty much all I think about now. I just can't wait for the next practice!

So yeah, that's pretty much my life. Working a ton, and then getting Sundays and Mondays for fun time. It's kind of funny, because if it's not Sunday or Monday, I don't really know what day it is anymore. I keep thinking that today is Wednesday, but it's not, it's Thursday, which means that it's that much closer to Sunday! Hooray!
