Exciting News

I have recently discovered that I will be graduating a whole year early if everything goes the way it's supposed to this year and next. When I found this out, I was so ecstatic! I will be one busy bee, but it will be worth it.

To graduate early is something that I never thought I was going to be able to do. Although, I always dreamed of doing so. Why? Well, one I would be saving lots of money by cutting off one year of my college education. Two, the main reason, is I will be able to begin one year early what I love to do in the work force.

I know, I know. Don't grow up too fast and you can do what you love right where you are now. Yes, I get that but I just can't wait to actually pursue my dreams and get out there in the world. I want to see and discover everything that life has to offer.

I can't wait for the day that I launch my ministry that God has called me to do. It just makes my heart so happy.

While, graduating early is awesome there are some downers. One, I will be taking 14 hours of summer school. This seems drastic and absurd, but really it won't be too bad. I am taking two history classes and two science classes. (They are apart of my core classes that I have to have to graduate.) I hate science. It is a weakness of mine so I would rather have it for a whole month every single day rather than spread out during a four month time period. History, eh, well I am not too worried about those classes. I might even take them online because I heard from one of my good friends that it was actually an easy online class. Second, I will be taking 19.5 hours come Fall 2013. I am going to be a crazy person. Okay, so I already am crazy, but we won't go there. There might be a way for me to move one of those classes to Spring 2014, but I'm not quite sure yet if that is what I want to do.

I will finish my school up in EUROPE! Amazing, right?!? Well, you see the European Study Tour that OBU offers is a wonderful program that also gives you six credit hours. (3 for humanities elective and 3 for a fine art) I need all six of those hours so that is where I will finish school! IN EUROPE! Words cannot express my excitement.

I am now praying (and I ask that you pray too) that the next years of my college career work out the way they need to. I had to do some rearranging of my classes for next semester because some of my classes interfered with one another. I really need this not to happen come Fall 2013 and Spring 2014. The reason being is because some of the courses that I REALLY want to take are only offered at certain times. I am hoping the only reason that my schedule had conflict was due to a class that I had to take this coming semester that was only offered at one time.

So, please, please, please pray that this will happen for me and that it is what God wants me to do. So far, everything has fallen well into place besides that one mishap with classes interfering which actually was an easy fix. I just had to play around with some classes. Thank you so much for your prayers! I truly appreciate them.

I hope that this news as is exciting to you as it was to me!

Never Have I Ever...

Never have I ever been more blessed to be a Tri Chi then the other night. The girls that I call my sisters are each so unique, but we all have so much fun when we are together. Together we make memories and friendships that will truly last a lifetime.

Tri Chi Circus. Tiger Tunes is this week which means the campus is filled with joy and lack of sleep. Tiger Tunes is hosted by the OSF. The money that Tiger Tunes raises goes 100% towards scholarships for students. It is such a hit that shows how much the students at Ouachita support other students. This year is my first year to be in Tiger Tunes. I am in the show with, of course, the Tri Chi's. Our theme for our show is Circus. I would post more about it, but it is a secret until the first performance which is Thursday night.

Homecoming is also this week (Saturday). I am excited to watch our football team play for we are undefeated!! I also get to wear a black suit for Tri Chi and as weird as it may sound, I am quite excited about wearing a suit and high heels. I like to dress up every now and then. Ha.

Last, but not least there are 20 days until my 20th birthday!!! Yay!!!

Have a great Monday!

God Bless,
Kaitie
