Thoughts on Figuring it Out

Three Weeks. That's it. In Three weeks I'll be heading to Madison for the summer. I'm so excited and ready to embark on this adventure. I've so much to do to get ready with some traveling in-between and I can't believe I'm down to three weeks. I wish I could be going and starting today, but I have things to do to get ready. I'll try and keep updated on my getting ready for the summer.

We did hours of research, which lasted until one PM on Thursday. Thursday night we finalized the PowerPoint and quickly went over our presentation. Come this morning at 11AM we were giving our presentation. I did not feel prepared at all! Reading papers to present on research that others had completed, I felt I knew nothing. In the moments before class I felt I could lose my breakfast. My mom put it best that morning. She told me that I was the one that knew the information the best and that I would be fine. She spoke a lot of truth into my life. I’m so blessed because of her. My performance today does not, I repeat, does not , define me. I’m worth so much more and however this semester turns out I am still Charissa, a child of His. It’s not a def...

I have been so busy so I apologize for not keeping this up, but it's spring break so I'm back and hopefully for a while. Yummy Pancakes Laundry done by my mom Pants that a friend tailored for me
