‘08-’09 School Year HAS BEGUN!!!!

Contemplating my options once again, I was lost in the confusion of “WHAT DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THE REST OF MY LIFE?” - Well, this summer I came up with the grand idea to switch over to Special Education!  That gave me some peace to know I have a secure plan and feel comfortable with my career choice.  

This summer was THE BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE as I went to India for my brother’s wedding, hung out with old friends/made some new ones, relaxed up north and got some down time with God.  Yet for some reason I was not quite ready to go back to school after having such an amazing time.  I was a little nervous!  It is now my 5th(?) year at Concordia and I AM STILL NERVOUS????  Usually I was more than ecstatic to be back on campus, but this time I’ve been finally enjoying what life has to offer so I wasn’t so sure I was ready to leave that!  It’s also been hard because my grandma’s boyfriend, YES - “BOYFRIEND” has been in and out of the hospital like crazy this year and not doing well.  I did yard work for him on the side this summer once again and to leave him was incredibly difficult.

BUT, once I got back on campus I realized I have a ton of awesome friends here and it’s EXCITING to live in the cities!!! Plus it was also nice to be back on campus quite some time before classes and the stress began!  

SO starting off the year right, a bunch of us guys went to Taylors Falls, MN!                                          

I realize that life can be so much more exciting if you just get out there, explore, and HAVE FUN!!! Good luck to all in the new school year, and remember to take some time to enjoy life!
