I've had a lot of blogs and such by now...I'm not sure if I'm starting this one because I'm bored, avoiding studying, just out of curiosity, or what...
or I may have just found Zack's blog to look really cool...or at least different.
That, and I would like to try to start over with this whole blogging thing. The other ones I've had are from the beginning of high school and I feel I have changed A LOT since then.
Anyway, 2009 started not long ago and already I feel that it's the start of a very different year for me. For years I struggled to understand what I wanted to do with my life, to juggle college and the rest of my life, what was truly important to me, and what I wanted to do in general. Especially as my schedule has increasingly become more hectic I've learned to cut out superfluous activities more and more, I'm learning that I can't do everything at once. There is just not enough to me, but that does not prevent me from trying my best to do just that anyway, hah.
I've learned that worrying excessively does absolutely no good. Just letting things go, not caring about certain things, not holding stupid expectations, etc. has done wonders. On one hand I find it important to plan what I want to do and set up ways to get there but at the same time those are just guidelines that are constantly changing. Opportunities have arisen more often lately that have allowed me to see the different paths my life can take. I am a very curious person and am very grateful that there have been such new possibilities right now. All I can do is try and hope for the best.
Recently I applied for this new job opportunity on campus and I am really excited about it. Within a week I found out about it, sent in an application, got my first individual interview, and then a second (group) interview. This is very exciting to me because I didn't really know these things existed at Miami. Not that I didn't know Mobile health units existed, but they're usually more community (city/region) based. This will be the first of its kind and I really hope I will get to participate. I know it will take a lot of time, even from this semester (this is IF--very big IF--I get in) because of the sprint course. I know I have a really busy schedule now, but this is something I really want to do and feel that it'll be a really good way to put a foot forward towards the Global/Public health field. There are openings for 10 men and 10 women, and there have been over 50 applicants already. I am hoping I have made a good impression and that they are able to see how much I want this.
Actually, I sure hope I know what I am doing with my life in general. Even though I want to do a lot of things and I have a lot of classes and commitments right now, I do want to make sure I don't let life pass me by. I want to make time to enjoy myself because college is only but a short period of time...and I don't have that much of it left before I get thrown into the real "big people" world full of Actual responsibilities...
I sure hope I will be ready for whatever comes...Hm...I also sure hope I can get my research project done in time...I am so behind...and am barely keeping up with everything else, ahhh!!!!...mm...breathe...
OK, I really should get back to my studying now...before Joce comes over.
