In 2007 I wrote the most important thing I ever wrote in my life. I wrote my thesis in record time. It was the longest thesis received in the Modern Language Department in English and French.
Amidst all of this I had attended parties with people I hadn't seen in ages, it was really nice to be reacquainted and reminded of my maturity. I made some new friends that I didn't expect to make... and met people who taught me how to address my frustration in a healthier way.
I started dating a guy between all of this and it was a nice relationship until I graduated. It became aware that our maturity levels were way off and I wasn't in the place in life for a relationship. Plus, I was going through a time where I was discovering my tolerance levels in certain areas of life & how to handle these things. My brother was still doing drugs and really making life at home difficult for a lot of people. I was job searching & trying to come to terms with student loan bills (eek).
2007 proved to be one of the most productive years of my life:
I started working at a university. During this time, I kept thinking, "why aren't I working here... or there... or why didn't I finish that Peace Corps application that I started?" It was really hard for me to come to terms with where I was in my life. I finally just caved in and said, "It's not so much for me decide and be so picky when You really know whats best." This was the first time in my walk as a Christian to truly submit myself and hand things over. This gave me confidence in many more areas of my life. I rededicated my life to being more God centered, because I was becoming my worst emotional enemy. and that was no bueno.
