Tuesday, September 12, 2006
My days are filled with random thoughts, recalled memories or conversations and thoughts of the future. I find that I don't write much on this blog because I feel like I'm just talking to myself. Which if I were doing, I don't have to go to a computer and sign in so that I can talk to myself. I can do that anytime.
Randomest thought of the day: chattin' chitty. I mixed up the phrase chitty chattin' accidentally and then realized that sounds kinda funny. "chattin' chitty". What's a chitty? Why do we say that? What a wierd phrase.
This is my last semester so I'm enjoying it the best I can before the working world sets in. Looking back over my time in college makes me smile and sigh at the things that I've been through. Things that I've put myself through and things that I've learned. This is pretty general but I have been reflecting a lot on God's faithfulness in my life and how he has taken care of my heart and my life more than I ever imagined. Each moment that I see myself trying to control my life or a situation and give it over to the Lord and what His word promises tends to make my life better than I want. I see that His ways are so much higher than my ways. It is not always easy or clear to follow Christ but it is worth everything that we think we are sacrificing. I think one of the hardest things about following Christ is saying no to ourselves and what we want. At least that is what trips me up.....I'm grateful for grace.
On the design side of things. I love school. I am taking all the classes I wished I could've taken instead of the prerequisites that are no fun. I wish as a freshman in college I could've known at least more of what I like and how to do school better. I wish that I had pursued art more in high school or even more in college. Art is intruiging, challenging and fun but I have always believed that it's not logical, at least not when you have to pay the bills. Be logical, get a real job that will pay money. I considered being a business major, even a psychology major! Yikes! I would be so miserable with my life. My dad gave me the best advice that made me certain that I picked the right major. "Just pick something you really like, you never know if you're going to end up using it after you graduate and then you'll be motivated to go to class." Graphic design could not be more fun for me. It combines a little bit of everything I enjoy doing and wraps it all into one. Can it get any better than that? Well, yes, I suppose because I still need to get a job, hahah. I can enjoy all of the hobbies that fill my time but I end up asking myself "how could I turn this into a job because I really like doing this?"
