I am currently working right now. well, i guess you could say i am officially off now, however, i am still sitting at my desk because i realize that i never write on here, and i want someone to hear about my life, since nobody ever knows what’s doing on with me.
school here is so different from Toledo, which isn’t bad nor is it good. it’s just… different. i have class tuesday-friday (yeah, i definately am completely thrown off because of the whole no school on FRIDAYs at Toledo.. haha), i have chapel on tuesdays, wednesdays and fridays. yeah, i go to church while i am at school?? it’s really cool though. i always love chapel time.
as of late, i realized what a big deal me leaving Toledo was. i lost so many credits in transferring because they simply couldn’t fit them in the curriculum here.. which is a big bummer. I find myself questioning school at all moments of my day. whether it’s when i am eating, sitting in class, reading my bible… MY BRAIN WORKS ENTIRELY TOO WELL! so, due to this disappointing fact about my credits and such, i am considering some different options regarding school. they are as follows:
1) return to Toledo, possibly in the summer.
2) go to another school
3) suck it up and deal with feeling like i wasted time.
honestly, i wish running away were an option. HAHA but obviously that isn’t very realistic. SO! This is is the plan stan. I am going to have Toledo as my safety school, meaning, I KNOW i can go back there and not worry about this transferring, except for a few classes here at OCU. While know this, I am going to see how many credits I can fight for to fit in here at OCU, and I am reapplying to Toledo. ALSO!! I am sending my application into a few other schools such as : Wright State, Capital, Otterbein and maybe OSU. I am considering a few things while searching for these other schools.. 1)theatre 2) the psychology program 3)locality of the school to my home here in circleville.
SO. we will see what happens. I am sure you will be eagerly awaiting. feel free to drop any advice
and now, another topic. I miss God. Jake and i broke up last sunday due, in part, to this fact. I definately feel like God can use this time, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t upset me a bit to realize that the person I love is struggling with life and God right now.. and I CAN’T be there to help..
other than that, i work at Kroger Pharmacy (aka HELL) still on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. Also– i am working, here, in the admissions office on campus as OCU. it’s really great and i love the people i work with!
they are so awesome, so praise God!!! I am enjoying my classes.. i mean, come on! I learn about God and His Word every day.. so that rocks, in my book!
and that’s about it. i promise to try and post more often
if you are reading this, i am sure i miss you. so give yourself a big hug and imagine me almost crying and telling you how much you mean to me!
God Bless.

Joanna! Okay, I have so many things to say.
1. I LOVE your new header picture. I haven’t visited here in a while so I’m not sure HOW new it is, but it’s beautiful. way to go.
2. I’m so glad you are committing to posting more. because it makes me feel so much more connected to you. I love reading about your life. Seriously love.
3. I will be praying for you about the school thing. I really mean that too, not just a “I’ll pray for you” thing. for real. also, if you go to wright state, I would probably love my life so much because that would mean we would live in the same city as me. we could go to apex church together and hang out and have fun movie nights…. and also, wright state has underground tunnels so in the winter you totally can avoid the bad weather. KEEP THAT IN MIND.
4. I wish we both had more time and lived in the same city because I feel like we could have awesome God talks and encourage each other. I feel such a kindred spirit with you. I miss God too.
5. Okay. I guess that’s all. Longest comment ever. But I miss you!

Sweetheart-I too feel so much more connected to you through this blog that you have going. I feel so blessed just reading the truly insightful things you write about. I miss you so much and can never get tired of telling you how proud I am of you everyday. And if God decides to lead you to a different school, then so be it!! I’m behind you 100% with whatever you may do.
Finally, I am so very sorry to have read about your breakup with Jake. I truly hope things will work out for you both. Just continue to follow God and he will take care of the rest.
Anyway, I love you so very much my sweet girl. And if you ever need anything, even if it’s just to say hi, call me. Grandma has my new number, but I think I texted it to you. I have Verizon now so it should be free for you to call.
Love you always,
Aunt Pam
