November 22: The Future

Today, I am thankful for the future and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Up until ... well, let me start over....  I have never had a "plan." If you were to ask me, "Say, Lauren, where do you see yourself in x amount of time?" I could give you an answer and it probably would sound something like "I have absolutely no idea."

Of course, when I was asked my senior year of high school where I saw myself in 5 years, I gave an answer that I was sure of. I probably said "Graduated from college, with a job.. yada yada yada." Obviously, that plan didn't necessarily work out because its been 5 years.... and I'm still in school. If they added five more years on... well, the whole plan is messed up because I based it on graduating from college in 4 years and I would still have been wrong.

However, now, I seem to have a plan, or at least a layout for what is to come in the NEAR future. In three weeks, I will be done with my final semester of school, in December I will have a week with family in Florida and on January 3, 2011 I become a student teacher!! I will spend 16 weeks at a high school teaching 9th and 11th grades and a theatre course and then I graduate and become a "real person."

Ok, so maybe that isn't really a "plan," but this is what my life will be like until May. I am thankful for all the opportunities I have had and for the opportunities that are to come!

THANKS FUTURE!!!

  1. Hooray for the future! The next few weeks are going to fly by, and then you'll be in sunny Florida! Then, before we know it, we will be walking across the stage and officially college graduates. Woohoo!
