New Things.

I have been trying new things lately. 

I tried the new coffee house in Marion. Midwest Coffee Company. That is a cute little place. 

I tried going to Marion Public Library to do homework. I can't be very productive in my room. Just semi-productive. 

I volunteered at Grant County Rescue Mission last Saturday and today for class and really enjoyed it. When my schedule opens up more, I am going to try and volunteer there more regularly on my own. They have so much stuff, and it is such a great cause. 

I am going to babysit 6 hours a week starting next week because I love kids, and I look at it as my own little therapy. That probably sounds ridiculous to moms around the world. 

I passed my first medications in clinical yesterday. Only oral meds so not too interesting but still a milestone.

I decided to write out all of my thoughts that I am trying to process as a list and carry the list with me. When I get anxious about them, I will take the list out and pray over it. For a whole month I will do this before I start acting on anything or deciding anything. <--- shout out to Bethany. 

I got a Pintrest account. I am still learning what that means. 

I tried turning myself 'off' last night. I was just me. I didn't let myself think about anything else except the people I was with and what I was doing. "me time". 

I visited the boys' lodge last night too. It was nice to sit in a room full of people and have casual conversation and good laughs. It felt so normal. I have been lacking that lately I think. 

And I started processing the idea of going to California for Spring Break 2012 to visit Danielle. 

Normally when there are this many new things in my life, I get overwhelmed. However, I find it to all be so refreshing right now. Just what I needed. 

Oh and the leaves are changing colors. I love that. So much.
