Life is BUSY!!!

School. Student teaching. Coaching. Other jobs. Trying to keep a social life (my mom keeps hoping I'll find that special someone... haha.). Busy, busy, busy. Life really has been so crazy the last few months, but it's also been incredibly fulfilling for me.

School is almost done... Like, until forever. As we say in Indonesia, ALHAMDULILAH! Or, as we say in Christianity, HALLELUJAH! It is going to be a blessed day :)

Student teaching has been a lot of fun for me, and like every other teaching position I've ever held in my life, it has just shown me again and again how right teaching is for me. I feel so blessed to have known since a young age what I wanted to do with my life, and then to have the help of Heavenly Father to help me pass all my classes (I still know I had TONS of help from the Big Guy upstairs in some of those math classes...), there is really nothing more that I could ask for in my life. The kids in my classes are great, and I've even found that I enjoy junior high A LOT more than I would've ever thought I would. The kids can get annoying, and yes sometimes they even have issues that I can't stand, but holy cow, they are SOOOOO funny! They are just so fun, and at least some of them think that I'm cool enough just because I'm young and like to play games :P

My coaching life is constantly going... Although right now I'm in a nice little "off-time" while I wait for the moratorium season to end so I can continue coaching the high school girls. I really just LOVE LOVE LOVE coaching. There is nothing better than having that type of interaction with kids who have the same passion as me. I LOVE being able to help them become smarter and more fundamentally set players. I cannot even begin to describe how much I love coaching. There is nothing in this world that has ever brought me more joy than playing the sport I love while interacting with others who love it just as much as I do :) I can't wait to get back into the gym here in a few weeks!

My other jobs are nothing special ... I just keep on scorekeeping and translating. Nothing that brings in a ton of money, but it brings in enough for me to eat and pay for gas.

And then the social life... Holy cow. What a lovely thing, right? I remember a day when I had something going on every night of the weekend (including Sundays), and was constantly playing with the friends. But now that I'm in Bountiful, it's been hard for me to find any groups or people that I can count on to hang out with. It's gotten a lot better the last few months, but some weekends I hardly even leave my house. Sometimes I wish I had a group of friends like I used to, but then again... I might be better off this way, because whenever I do hang out, it's always with new people, so I constantly get to know different people. Just keep trying til you find the right match, right? Well... At least that's what I hear.

All in all, life is good. I'm completely happy with where my career is going, and although I know I have a lot of things to work on in my life, I feel like I'm doing the best that I can with what I've got. Life is full of chocolates right now :)
