Who knows..

So, right now I'm in one of those moods where I just have no idea what to expect outta life. Since I've gotten married, for once in my life, I've almost completely stopped caring about school. My homework, reading, assignments, etc., just haven't been a priority this semester. Maybe it's because I'm a senior and will be graduating soon (YES!) or maybe things just change after you get married; priorities change. I've always wanted to graduate with a bachelor's in psych and go on and get my masters in social work or marriage and family therapy or counseling. Right now I don't even feel like I want to go to school ever again, lol. And even if I do, I'll only work for a short time before we start a family, right?? Hopefully this is just a phase.. Next semester is going to kick my butt though so hopefully this phase gets over ASAP.

Another thing that kinda has me in a weird mood is the fact that it doesn't even feel like Christmas! I dunno if getting married is also contributing to that, since it'll be my first Christmas away from home, but it just feels like, January. I dunno what my deal is! We put our Christmas tree up tonight though so hopefully that will help!

Work is going really well. I thought for sure I could never love any kids as much as I loved the kids at the Boys and Girls Club, but I've been mistaken. I love love love the kids I work with now, too. They are so sweet and really brighten up my life. I've also been teaching ESL (English as a second language) an hour before work every day. This has been quite the experience! I've always thought about teaching and apparently I'm pretty good at it. It's also kinda cool because we get to use "Direct Instruction" which I've learned about in a couple of my psych classes and it's pretty interesting to see how effective it is. So, that's been fun :)

Another thing that's been going on is soccer. We signed up for an indoor league down in Ogden and we play about once a week. The team is pretty darn awesome because it's mostly family. There's me, Peter, Beth, Jessica, Brett, Marcos, JD, Pedro, (all Legua's/Allen's) and Katie and Jordon (some really close friends). It's so fun. The downside is the time of the games. We're usually playing at times between 9-11:00 PM! Some games are later and some are earlier; however, our last three have been at like 11:20. Disgusting. It's really no fun when you have to leave Ogden at 12:30 at night and drive to Brigham and then to Logan.. Then we get to wake up at 5:30 so Peter can go to work. So that's lame! But still, the team is great and soccer is fun enough that I'm okay with a little sleep deprivation.

So there's an update on my life! Things are going pretty well. I think I'm just worn out from school and work and staying up late to really be too chipper right now. Hopefully once I get a break from school things will lighten up a bit. Ta-ta for now!

Also, I might be starting an anonymous blog kinda thing. We shall see :)
